Excellent chase from England. That was a none too shabby total from Pakistan.

Some great hitting by England , no mean feat to chase down 195

No one better than England at chasing.

We've got so many great power hitters in the team that we never seem to have any worries with keeping up with the run rate and this takes the pressure off.

No Buttler, Stokes, Root, Archer, Wood or Roy either!

Seems England only lose when Root isn’t captain. @ancoats ;-)

Great to see banton do well on international level. One of the most exciting talents in world cricket to look forward to. Him and Roy opening together would be lit

It hasn’t alteredd the fact that the only two games England have lost this summer have been when Root wasn’t captain.
