Ridiculous tbh after that start.
Great that Livingstone is coming back into form with the bat, now need him getting his rythm with the ball
At least Mo had the good grace to laugh sheepishly when Mitchell mishit that filthy full toss down Topleyās throat. His hundredth ODI wicket too, heāll remember that one.

Stokes 100 up from 7 balls.
207-2 after 29.1 overs
Malan gone for 96, thin snick as the ball was going down the leg side.
Given not out on the field, DRS and snicko shows he edged it.
Boult to Malan, OUT
Down the leg sideā¦ tickle? Thereās a huge appeal along with the umpire signalling wide. āI think we should have a look,ā says Trent Boult. Latham agreesā¦ And thereās a spike on ultra edge at the last possible instant as ball passes the bat! Outstanding review and Malan has to go, four short of what would have been a fifth ODI century
Dawid Malan c ā Latham b Boult 96 (95b 12x4 1x6) SR: 101.05

At least now I know someone is reading what I am writingā¦
Commentators are lamenting Englandās injury list, notable Royās back that isnāt seeming to fix itself.
I donāt think any England supporters are really that concerned that Roy might not play.
Phillips to Buttler, OUT
Yanked to the on-side, and picks out deep midwicket! But Phillips has thrown himself so wide on the crease that heās cut the line, is it going to be a back-foot no-ball? Itās such a rarity, and like a front-foot no-ball it all depends on the first point of contact. Replays suggest he touched down millimetres inside the box
Jos Buttler c Young b Phillips 38 (24b 6x4 1x6) SR: 158.33
290-4 from 37.5 overs
Stokes 150 up with a huge 6, 151 from 106 balls.
England 307-4 after 40 overs
Damn, thatās a helluva sky over the Oval
