Whilst this innings has been a bit of a shellacking, the India series showed us that this group has some fight and resilience. It's a whole lot more uphill than it was, but I wouldn't go writing England off for a whitewash just yet.

Having just seen the controversial decision, I'm far too indignant for this time of day. If we lose this narrowly, those two "murmur" DRS decisions going against us will have played a role.

I went for a couple of hours' kip at lunch, with England in the driving seat. WTF, lads ?

You have to applaud that. It's magnificent. Crawley under massive pressure from now on.

I wonder if Stokes opened with Wood and Atkinson because they were wicketless. Neither bowled badly. Here we go with setting a target.

Day 3 and 4 tickets looking a bit less valuable, just now.

Ewwwww

I'm imagining Boycott commentating on that first over, with Crawley having had a practice waft earlier in the over and going for every ball, and I imagine he might have sworn.

Set the alarm. Come on lads

Love how much love for him there still is in here. He always came across as really switched on, emotionally intelligent and really hard working and whilst it doesn't always work out, you'd bet on him to succeed at this.

BBC Reporting Scotland (what we get up here instead of East Midlands Today) has run an hour long special, interviews with players, spectators, even with the commentators. They interviewed some of the players as they emerged from their hotel. I know these guys are pros and treat their bodies like a temple, but Kiernan Tierney looked ROUGH. Eyes like a black sheep's rude bits. I wondered what he was drinking last night - pints of Uranium?

If the Irish qualify, for a tournament alongside England and Scotland in a 2/3rds English speaking tournament, it would be great. If only Infantino, dynamic pricing and tickets going for thousands were not such a factor.

Fair play, it means such a lot to them because it doesn't happen happen very often and they will of course struggle to get out of their group but they'll consume a lot of beer next Summer. They will add some colour to the tournament. Good luck to them.

Ooooh. I think Kasper might have done better. But, Wow.

Ah, glorious failure at the last. Scotlandy.

Schmeichel and Vesty concede from a corner. I AM SHOCKED.

If Robertson's foot is on the line, I'm not sure that means contact was in the area. But it is what it is.

Escape to McVictory .

That is utter class.

3-1 England Most wkts: Archer Most runs: Brook POTS: Brook

Feel sorry for those Mascots, shivering. Its fvckin baltic here, proper sleeting. Poor wee buggers.

That was simply brilliant by Argentina. And awful by Scotland But mostly

The Greeks played Scotland off the park at Hampden and lost, and it looks like both sides are continuing in the same vein, but with the Greeks getting some reward this time. Scotland will do very well to get anything here.

We need a song, and it fits "Tom Hark" Kamonthip Netthanomsak Is interim boss Til Nige comes back
