He is indeed

Moeen 3-11
Cricinfo not impressedā¦
16.1 W Ali to Paine, OUT , oh dear, what was that from Paine?! Makes a pre-meditated move outside off, brings out the reverse-sweepā¦ and lobs a gentle top edge to short third man! He completely telegraphed his intentions, Buttler was almost far enough across to intercept the ball himself, but to compound that the execution was poor, hitting against the offspin, and heās gifted Moeen a third!

Paine c Wood b Moeen 12 (Aus 70-4)
Good for Moeen after the stick he got down under
Doh
Literally as I typed that
18.4 6 Ali to Stoinis, SIX runs, that breaks the shackles! Uses his feet then lofts high over long-on. A clean swing of the bat
Itās good this. Spinners bashing through them.
Not even at the 20-over mark and Australia have lost half their side. And theyāve played the extra bowler
19.4
W
Rashid to Stoinis, OUT , edged and gone! Caught behindā¦not the best ball Rashid has bowled, itās short outside off, Stoinis shapes to cut but can only managed a thin top edge to Buttler

Joe Root, Englandās 6th bowler into the attackā¦
And now, as if to taunt them, Rootās bringing out his part-time dobbers.
Poor old Moās figures took a bit of a tonking in that last over.
Looks like Maxwell is going to have a smash at it. Thereās plenty of overs left.
36.5
W
Plunkett to Maxwell, OUT , flicked off his legs, but in the airā¦ and Bairstow snags it on the run at deep square leg! Plunkett gets Maxwell, bit of luck involved as he pretty much struck that too well - an aggressive pick up but it went high, and sailed into the sweeperās path running back from midwicket! A tidy knock from Maxwell but he canāt go on, England break the recovery stand
GJ Maxwell c Bairstow b Plunkett 62 (64b 4x4 2x6) SR: 96.87
W
Rashid to Agar, OUT , very full, Agar goes to sweep - misses and is plumb! Rob Bailey sends him on his way, no review from Agar, that struck him low down on the back pad as the ball straightenedā¦ only one place that ball was ending up. Decent knock in adversity from Agar, but Australia are now seven down and in danger of not seeing out the overs
AC Agar lbw b Rashid 40 (62b 4x4 0x6) SR: 64.51
Are they going to make 45 overs let alone the full 50
42.2
W
Plunkett to Neser, OUT , goes for the slog down the ground, not full enough for the shotā¦ and mid-off settle under it for a simple catch!
MG Neser c Root b Plunkett 6 (14b 0x4 0x6) SR: 42.85

Wood to Richardson, OUT , pitched up, slapped to mid-off!

214 all out, 47 oversā¦I was 2 out

Plunkett to Tye, OUT , takes the pace off, Tye dabs at it off the back footā¦ but only succeeds in tickling a low edge through to Buttler!
AJ Tye c ā Buttler b Plunkett 19 (20b 2x4 1x6) SR: 95.00
I reckon we can still fuck it up.
