I think they will go hell for leather and be all out quickly, then have a bowl before tea

There’s always a collapse in us!

Are England going to let brook beat Englands all time run score?

That is a little bit of a pity, you know. I know they want to leave themselves time to bowl Pakistan out, otherwise it's a bit of an anti-climax, but given how close Brook was to Hutton — he really wasn't very far away — I think he could have been given a bit more time (or given himself a bit more). Then he would have gone into the history books for ever.

Third highest ever England innings score (England have 3 of the top 4, Sri Lanka the top). Fuck off Australia

Amazing to think we were 4 for 1

England don’t play like that under McCullum and Stokes, all about the team and all about the win

I'm aware of that, but it seems to me that there are exceptional cases, and that this was one of them.
