 We’ll do well to get half their score 

Yes - it's utterly hopeless at the moment. At least we could go down fighting. Bairstow hits a 6 as I type. And another.

Billings CAN play it seems.

Ha ha . I still believe that a front line batter such as Malan should have been picked 

[deejdeej]

Morgan, Root, Roy, Buttler... too many low scores.

Add Ali to that as well. Billings did excellent. Australia fielded excellently too.

 

One good performance from any of those 5 mentioned and we could have actually chased that total down. I thought we gave away 5-10 cheap runs as well, but oh well, onto Sunday.

One of the rare occasions where not enough of the frontline batsmen fire and England still got close - don't see much reason for concern and/or shuffling the deck when the side is winning in the short form of the game as often as it is.

What is the thinking behind Billings’ selection ? Complete waste of a slot 

This aged really badly 

[fuchsntf]

Oh that Roy -Root Run out....!!!!

 

Interesting team...No complaints from me...I

Bit Losing Two Silly wickets...

[EastAnglianFox]

Bairstow 7 ball duck then a ridiculous needless run out. 

 

Thank god football is back so I can get pissed off in a different thread 

[EastAnglianFox]

Root 39 from 73 balls? 

 

That can't be right? I'm not watching for obvious reasons

[RonnieTodger]

Good grief, what are these run rates from us

[Corky]

It is like being in 2001 again. I suppose it also shows how great we've been to watch in the last five years that this is a huge shock.

[deejdeej]

Obviously he's not playing under sad circumstances, but we really miss Stokes. These past 2 performances remind me of us during the world cup before we came back with a bang.

[deejdeej]

Incredible bowling from Archer and Woakes, what a game this is becoming.

[chrishlcfc]

How good is cricket. This game has gone from being over to being right in the melting pot in the space of 5 minutes.

 

Superb spells by the 2 seamers.

[EastAnglianFox]

Whatever the result this is like a blast from the past, nip and tuck trying to find a way to hit around the 250 mark

As exciting as it is when the balls being whacked everywhere, it is like what the commentators regularly say the best/closest games are almost always when the bowlers are on top of the batsman.

Bloody wonderful game, I was around 16 when the 05 Ashes were on and was enthralled. Was barely interested again until around 2 years ago when me and the mrs sat in a bar all day on holiday in Greece and all of a sudden again I was hooked, can't remember what match was on. 

Not a bad last year or so to be back in love with the game 

[Leicester_Loyal]

Amazing game, another great turnaround.

[EastAnglianFox]

Tom Curran showing even if you take no wickets you can do a brilliant job at one end, 0-28 off his 10 overs

[chrishlcfc]

Superb win

[trabuch]

What a good captain Morgan is.

[BraunstoneFox23]

Stumped to win as well! Fantastic bowling.

[Voll Blau]

Quality comeback. Low(ish) scoring thrillers are the best.

[Vacamion]

 

So Leicester City win 3-0 and England beat the Aussies?

 

What a Sunday
