Some run chase that, fantastic, especially when you consider it's a second string side.

Great effort.

 

Well played Vince and Gregory. 

[Osavo]

Delighted for Vince, he's had to properly battle for that moment in an England shirt. Some really strong individual performances through the series; Gregory, Mahmood, Carse, Salt and obviously Vince. The white ball depth is extraordinary really, how on earth do you fit all these guys in?

Wait they don't change ends? What the ****??

Tip: Make sure you have been to the toilet and bought at least three beers before the game starts if you intend to sit anywhere near behind the bowlers arm.

Great series all in all! Only thing that annoyed me was no rotation at all, when are the players that made the squad ever likely to get a chance to have a brief look in again? Will Jacks for example didn't get a hit in the three ODI games so it's going to be tricky to justify picking him in the next series when the normal names are back.

Look it's a nice problem to have essentially having two squads to pick from, but I can't help but worry we might miss out on some seriously good players ever making an appearance because of it.

Don’t you only need to come 4th to qualify? Or does it just go to a semi?

Straight to a semi-final. 

So top 2 each.

There’s literally just one way or out for England isn’t there. Like… Pakistan only started to score big in the middle… just chill the **** out. So annoying!

Works more often than not though. 

 

Interesting how Morgan always sees the bigger picture and throws Livingstone ahead of himself to see what he's got when pressure is on.

Yeah my anger has worked a charm  

[AjcW]

No I take it back. You’ve just hit another two sixes in a row. It’s already a great over, just whyyyyy? 

[RowlattsFox]

Wil probably fall short but brilliant from Livingstone.

Can’t recall seeing him play like this! Class

I've seen him in the Big Bash as an opener have some great knocks but not as clean as this i'd imagine. Mad you can get close to a hundred in Twenty20 coming in at 5 

 

Edit: make that getting over a hundred. Superb but one shot to far. Shame.

I don’t understand how T Curran gets games. Can’t remember last time I was impressed

[ealingfox]

When was the last time Roy did anything useful?

[HybridFox]

Pakistan getting absolutely spanked here 

[purpleronnie]

As usual just when i start watching it, 2 wickets in 2 overs.

I assume both he and Billings are in the one day set up for ornamental purposes 

[purpleronnie]
