As one of the TMS chaps said when Bairstow and Root were batting together, if England had been batting first they could have been on for 500 today. Astonishing batting.
Elsewhere, there’s a fair bit of noise about Liam Dawson being a likely call-up for the World Cup squad, as he offers cover for either spinner and can bat and field well too.
Imam took a nasty 88mph blow on his elbow, Curran took 4 wkts there’s a Thunderstorm heading over the airport here. Yeah, that’s more interesting than the cricket tbh
340-7 looks at least 30 runs short unless England have a brain fart
Shock at Trent Bridge.
Vince didn’t get out for 36.
He got out for 43.
94/1 ahead of run rate
Butler… what was that?
Checks Asian betting sites…
Moeen? FFS
216-5
England win by 3 wickets with 2 balls left
Made an exciting game of it - finally in this series.
Cant see Joe Denly staying in the WC squad think we may lose Dawson
Wonky stream meant I missed the non run out of Curran but saw the replays. How weird, Pakistan always appeal for everything.

t’s not easy for a white-ball series to be remembered for more than about a month, but this one is heading for pub-quiz immortality. Q. Which cricket nation scored a thousand runs in a week and still went 3-0 down? A. Pakistan, the team who’ll do anything to ensure we keep calling them mercurial.
Willey & Woakes back into the team instead of Wood & Archer. Root plays all the games meaning Denly doesn’t get a chance at the top of the order. Roy takes a break, Bairstow partners Vince at the top of the order.
Feel he will be the player they drop from the WC squad for Archer, with Dawson being in reserve in case of injury to Rashid or Ali.
England win the toss and decide to have a bash first for a change
they want to see if they can actually get 500 which will never happen if they bat 2nd.
Rattling along at 8 an over at the moment
56-0 off 7 overs
Vince approaching 36, so no doubt will be out in a minute or two
Lol
Very next ball top edge caught for 33
63-1
95-1 off 10 overs blimey, seems Vince was dawdling 
Bairstow goes for 32 England 105-2
England are 222 for 3 with 20.3 overs left
Buttler in earrly tactic doesn’t work as he goes for a Vince, then Moeen is more plum than a plum vodka and yet reviews.
Slowed right down of late 276-6, 350 could be a push to get to
England are 351 for 9 after 50 overs
Pakistan 0-1 opener gone for a duck
Fakhar c Root b Woakes
