That’s how India always play though. Topley did OK at the death, but leaving Tom Curran to bowl in the last 10 was suicidal. Moeen should have been saved until later.

I'm not sure it would have made much difference who was bowling in the last 10 overs. We're missing, what, 30 overs of our best bowling with no Archer, Wood or Woakes. We don't have a good death bowler in our attack today.

Add Jordan to that list, but you’re right.

Oh yeah, forgot about him!

What the **** was Stokes doing there?

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Lucky boy!

 

[tomw24]

Brilliant from Bairstow.

 

[tomw24]

With each 6 Stokes hits I can sense Kohli getting more and more angry with the 3rd umpire.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

This is astonishing from Stokes.

Shouldn’t Stokes have had some part of the bat behind the line, for that Run Out?
Sloppy running, but boy has he taken advantage.

Yes. Kohli's post match interview should be fun.

Bairstow comes storming back in the battle for Man of the Match.

 

[Schad]

Played the first 35 overs at a 400+ run pace. Now imagine if they had a chance to really let loose for the last 10 overs...

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Oh that’s a shame, he really deserved a ton.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Still time for the collapse...

 

[davecg69]

Pity .... should have left that one, Ben. But it’s always easy in hindsight. Great innings ....
Please don’t collapse now, England!

 

[davecg69]

Uh oh .....

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Nooooooooooooooooo!


What a knock though, brilliant.

 

[davecg69]

Oh **** .....

 

[tomw24]

Stop panicking England will still cruise home.
