Perhaps not quite the start we were looking for

Bumrah getting it to swing but both out to poor shots really.

And thereā€™s another :astonished:

This coud be a 15 over match rather than a 50
(for England that is)

Livingstone simply gave his wicket away. Ridiculous shot.

Thing is that with England this year, the 300 is still on!

300? theyā€™ll take 100 from here :grin:

Christ, just tuned in, at 68-8. What a fucking mess.

100 up

[cheers]

Good bowling. :man_shrugging:

Yeah, Bumrah in particular was exceptional and deserved his haul but it still *wasnā€™t a 110 all out pitch.

*Well it was, but it shouldnā€™t have been.

Our bowlers are looking tame by comparison.

Well that was humbling

Well done India.
Not sure I have seen a team lose by an innings in a ODI :grinning:

Our bowlers are tame by comparison. :weary:

The best of the England ODI attack is knackered and unlikely to be back this summer. The second and third choice did OK.

Easy to knock them after a disappointing week or so but itā€™s only a fortnight ago that everyone was still rating them among the best in the world.

Theyā€™ll come back.

Despite the poor showing with the bat, itā€™s the bowling Iā€™m more concerned about. Rashid will walk back into the team but we really need Wood or Archer back and Iā€™m not convinced thatā€™s going to happen.

Good win for England. 100 runs is a large margin in an ODI.

All set up for the decider on Sunday.

Just in from a day at Lords ā€¦ roasted to medium well done in the Compton stand, tho a couple of friends were in the Mound and I have seen less luminous tandoori chicken.

A curious game that never really ignited into an enthralling contest,

A couple of notable performances tho , Butlerā€™s captaincy of his field and bowling was very good and Willy and Moeen kept us in the game, our bowling was exceptionally disciplined in line and length today and Topley bowled like a Terminator.
