Yep, Just glad they didn't give the ball to stokes for the last over, could have had a repeat of the 2016 T20 world cup final. England must be favorites for the champions trophy, just need to sort out the opening batting partnership. Where's Boycott and Edrich when you need them.
Been a long day up at 3am for the cricket, then the FA cup final, still got the RFU premiership final to watch. tomorrow have the Monaco grand Prix and the Indy 500 don't think my liver can take much more!!

Respect. I was up just as SA started to bat. The test series is a different matter and takes much higher level of commitment on my part.

Thanks for that Cheltonian. I forgot about Talksport, saw TMS was off air & had resigned to cricinfo updates.

There are highlights on BBC2 around midnight BST

If anyone's got friends or relatives with a SKY subscription in the UK, ask if you can access one of their multiple device SKY Go log-ins. We log into SKY and can stream or download anything that the user's account is subscribed to. We use Hide My Ass VPN and the HD streaming quality is excellent, but SKY Go is a bit fussy about which web browser it likes.

That was fun.

But we really do need to replace Roy with YJB.

Also feel Ball might be a bit out of his depth at this level.

And Woakes crocked too....

Bowling a concern

Yes Bairstow in Roy out, these pitches are not prepared by the local grounds man but by ICC grounds men so they wont seam and the white ball only swings for a couple of overs so you must play the leggy for a bit of variety. When we play NZ it will interesting to see if Trent Boult can get the ball to seam. I don't like these pitches that are made for batsmen, you have to give the bowlers a chance, at the moment the bowlers are on a hiding to nothing.

Good result today for England - if we beat one of Oz / Kiwis & we're through

Bad news re: Woakes.
