Right hiding this.

Very un English batting, no one getting going. Root stuck in his crease too much again, something he seems to do in 50 over cricket. 77 is canny, but not in 86 balls. There are only 300 in the innings. You have to get going when you're that far in.

Not at the races at all with bat or ball. Lot of work to do.

The commentators gave out a stat, its the first time ever in International ODI cricket that every batsman has gotten double figures, so everyone of them got a start and then, apart from Root threw it away

Yep. Still not convinced about us on this type of pitch. Flat and fast and we're favourites against anyone, but there'll not be many in India.

09:30 start, Afghanistan bottom of the table. Win this and get our run rate up gets us into 4th, above Pakistan, top 4 go through to semi finals (quite a way off at the moment)
