From the BBC

Buttler averages 2.80 in ODIs since the world Cup final.

Just saying.

Replace him with Lewis McManus?

England win by 6 wickets with 7 overs and 2 balls to spare

Mrs P_F just bought me a cold beer to celebrate!

That really was some going. Stokes’ innings was a joy to watch. He deserved to get his ton.

:wave: Kohli.

Moheen gets a wicket!

Just switched on and it’s 156-3 from 24 overs

Nope, no it’s not, Livingstone gets Rahul caught by Ali from a hip high full toss.

157-4

A second-ball wicket for Livingstone!
It’s a terrible ball, but it’s bagged a massive scalp! A hip-high full toss, drawing a one-handed thump across the line, and Moeen behind square pulls off a blinder, pouncing to his left to cling on in both hands!

256-5, Pant gone for 78

Brilliant catch from Buttler behind the stumps

The 2 Pandyas at the crease now, and Hardik gets his 50 from 36 balls.

276-6

Stokes bowls Hardik

Stokes to Hardik, OUT

Pandya shuffles across off, exposes his stumps, Stokes hits the leg stump. England have dismissed Pant and Hardik in a space of four overs. Pandya pre-meditates, probably aiming for a fine scoop or lap, but Stokes bests him in the end

Hardik Pandya b Stokes 64 (44b 5x4 4x6) SR: 145.45

2 wickets in 9 balls whilst I was doing the kids’ lunch

329-8, England have done well to keep the Indian score down…

Excellent catch from Roy over his shoulder to get Krunal out…

2 wickets in the over for Wood, full and straight and he takes out Prasidh Krishna’s middle stump, he didn’t trouble the scorers.

329-9

Mark Wood with a marvellous spell of looks like death bowling here.

329 all out, that’s a remarkable come back from England as it looked like India were going to put over 400 on the board.

Topley to Bhuvneshwar, OUT

Topley hits that in-between length outside off. Bhuvneshwar clears his front leg and aims to slug it down the ground. He can only carve it in the air. Curran swoops in from mid-off and pouches it to wrap up India’s innings

Bhuvneshwar Kumar c Curran b Topley 3 (13m 5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 60

Yeah, but the chances of Bairstow & Stokes doing that again are slim

Great comeback.

Good death bowling, last 10 overs went for 46 runs and 4 wickets fell…

First over, 14 runs and 1 wicket :lou_facepalm_2:

14-1

The Comedian might as well have gone for another drive. He can’t defend with half a bat.
