Kohli dropped by Butler off Jordan, not an easy chance down the leg side but he got both gloves to it and should have taken it. Let’s hope Kohli doesn’t make us pay.

Ouch indeed. He’s getting some fearful tap, 16 off his first over.

Its gonna be one of THOSE watching sport days after the DRS no ball against Stokes

Stokes getting the treatment, 17 off his first over.

Oh good grief. Stokes drops a sitter

Oh dear, Stokes drops an absolute sitter in the deep off Rashid.

I was about to post about putting money on anyone except Westwood or Casey winning the golf & it buys a wicket!

Kohli goes to his 50 with a glorious straight six. Just stroked it, absolutely effortless. The drinks will be on Jo’s Buttler tonight!
