Even Joe Root is having a day out. We could have posted the first 400 score of the WC if we'd been able to bat our 50 overs.
 
The loss of the review was partly Roy's fault. He surely saw how plumb it was, like the rest of us?

Infuriating that we wasted it.

Runs aren't important for the next five overs. Just important not to lose a third quick wicket, and risk nerves setting in. Australia have gone for it, by bringing back Starc and Cummins (had no choice).
 
That pretty much every Aussie player got involved in the appeal, made me think it was choreographed.
Similar to a dive in the penalty box with the players surrounding the ref.
It’s not as if the Aussies won’t take the chance to cheat, as has been proven.

What an absolutely fantastic victory that is. I admit I was dreading facing Australia, especially when Morgan lost the toss, but England have outplayed Australia in every department today.

And the crowd were brilliant!
