    A fair amount of spin to bowl in the second 50, unless we turn to CDG.

    With nine wickets in hand, these final 30 balls could be painful viewing.

    I think it’s a mistake to follow a single team in this format, with county players spread around the way they are. Just enjoy the fireworks, Bairstow in this form is a joy to watch, and Duckett is phenomenal.

    That was a great 5 balls from Jordan in the context of the last 10-15 mins.

    The good news is their bowling attack is worse than ours apart from Qais.

    Slightly ironic (and annoying) that with all the spin dominance so far in the competition, we'd have been better served here by sticking with our pace bowling strategy and playing Garton ahead of one of the spinners.

    I do think this is chaseable. Pitch is good and boundaries aren't huge.

    Tbh, that is kind of how I was expecting many of the men's matches to go. A score of about 160, with healthy contributions from some tasty looking top orders.

    It's a big total (the same RR would give a score of 198 in T20) but their bowling attack isn't great.

    Too good not to have been drafted the first time round. Oh well, we've got him in the end.
