I've had a hellishly busy day and just settling down to watch the highlights. Sounds well worth a watch. Nice to hear Stokes has come into form.
Wow! Those highlights were well worth the watch. Fantastic batting from both teams. Wonderful ton from Bairstow making up for the run out and a sensational innings from Stokes. Real shame he didn't get the ton. Livingston excellent at the end steadying things with some controlled aggression. A really good run chase from England, especially considering we're 3-4 players missing from our best side.
Bairstow's innings was brilliant, but Stokes innings of 99 came from 52 deliveries. He got to 50 off of 40 balls and the next 49 came from 12 balls. Incredible! England got to their total with 39 balls to spare. Carnage. Although it was a great win, I'm not sure about the pitches on this tour. The test pitches were ridiculous, and the ODI's offer nothing to the bowlers. The T20 one's were probably OK though.
England win the toss and bowl first in the ODi decider. England bowling poorly. India currently 84-0 after 12 overs.
I think we think we can chase down just about any total. But would be handy to keep it vaguely realistic. One down. I hope it’s exciting, I’m just about to drive the Newcastle and back to pick up my daughter, will need something to keep me engaged.....
Those wickets were really important in slowing the scoring rate. Hilarious how Kohli never believes he could be out, even when he gets bowled Need to get Pant now.
Had to go out and India are well on top. The way this is going, England will need their best batsmen to fire again, as they could be chasing well over 350. India 245-4 from 35 overs. Sam Curran struggling a little since I've started watching again.
