England have bowled 8 wides in the first 4 overs v AFG. They'll be tired by the end.
 
Ironic that it's now down to Brook and Livingstone to try and see us through this, one of whom is almost certain to be dropped when Stokes is fit.
 
Fully deserved win. Nobody can begrudge them the victory. Better than England in all aspects today.
 
I just don't think they look interested. Whether it's the demise of ODIs, being more interested in making money in franchise leagues around the world, complacency because they've been there and done it and got the accolades and attention or what, I don't know

I wonder if Stokes's presence has upset the mood in the squad? One minute he's retired from ODI's, then he hasn't, then he's not fit but will almost certainly displace somebody else when he is, almost regardless of form. Will he come back in as captain? Who knows, Buttler probably doesn't. I think having retired he should have stayed that way, let the team move on.
