England should win this, but will need to bat better than they did in the last one-dayer.

Not sure why Denly was given 3 overs, whilst Jordan wasn't bowled out.
 
Tremendous team effort, batting well apart from first 4 they was excellent & the Kent man superb(that’s my team) bowling & fielding unbelievable, embarrassment for windies.

Went to the Oval yesterday in the company of some other QPR-supporting reprobates. A lot of rain, a lot of Guinness and not much cricket, but did get a chance to see Jofra Archer, who looks a serious talent. He ambles in off a relatively short run and fires it down with menace at about 93mph. A cert for the World Cup squad and he may get in the Ashes side too.

He does look a talent, with all the Irish, South African and others a West Indian in the mix will not make a difference
 
Yet another remarkable innings from Jos Buttler, 110 off 55 balls. England have scored 373 off their 50 overs despite Root taking 54 balls to score his 40. How many would they have got if he'd got out sooner? Great Test batsman that he is, I'm not sure Root belongs in this one-day side.

Shame we couldn't have seen a bit of this on Wednesday, eh Ninesy?

Buttler is a freak of nature.

Let's hope he can retain that form into and during the World Cup.
England will take some stopping.

Yes it would've been great, shame about the poxy rain.

Pakistan look like they might have a good go at this total.
