England will be 5-1 after five balls.

Bairstow LBW b Starc 0.
Balls: 1
Glove changes: 3
Tantrum: guaranteed.
 

Dragged it back well but can't see us getting that on here to be honest. Need a couple of good scores from the top 4 today.

I’d have taken that at 10:30. Think it’s eminently chasable and don’t think their bowlers are a shadow of their former selves - still deserve respect but particularly their backup pacers can be got at. Just got to bat responsibly, and Vince owes us a score, the faith that’s been shown in him is way beyond what he deserves

Root has to get a 100

Stokes in good form too

Bairstow needs to reign it in

Wicket at hands key here

I'm watching in Corfu, mixture of telly in the bar and Sky Go on my phone around the pool.

I would have taken 285 before the start. Pity Roy isn't playing, I'd make us slight favourites if he was. Pity Hales is a knob too.

The Aussies were very lucky the first 10 overs. Lots of edges, false shots and plays and misses. Daft under bowling of Stokes who looked a threat and was going for less than 4 per over.

Game on, Haway lads!

Tough, as it may be, better to try and see off starc and cummins, otherwise could be another malinga 4 for 30 odd situation

Aye, but against Malinga it was (IMO) because they fannyed about. I blame Vince personally, not individually, but the situation which means Vince has replaced Roy has given us a massive problem, because the two players are so different and as a result our opening dynamic has completely changed. Our powerplay batting has so often been the catalyst to our fantastic batting performances - in this tournament though that’s fallen by the wayside and a huge factor also is the apparent loss of form (compared to what he’s capable of) from Bairstow.
