Someone please ask Eoin Morgan to come back.

Isn’t his back the problem?

England back to can’t bat

Let’s see what the Lancs duo can do !!

Englands first wicket partnership averaged about 100 for 7 years and within weeks under a new coach and captain its dropped to aboit 15.

They have start playing more straight the cross bat shit is alright with few overs left

They dropped butler down the order so he would be around at the end…

They just need to stop being dickheads about it.

It’s an ODI not the Hundred. You’ve got 13 overs left and you’re the last proper batsman in.

Trying to send every single ball for 6 isn’t aggressive it’s stupid.

Great straight shot by Curran! Noticed we started the sweep shot more cross shot more now and we losing wickets

Sadly, people expected it after the 4 tests in a row we pulled it off.

What are the odds of rolling a double 6 on 4 consecutive rolls?

Livingstone in a nutshell. Gets carried away and holes out again.

Another Livingstone short burst, when sustained may have been better.

Regarding shot selection of others, the mania to reverse sweep so much recently is a bit silly. Hard to get right, and if you miss, you'll likely be out lbw.
