Not entirely sure how they aren't a wicket down here.

Is Plunkett fit? He's our best bowler outside the powerplays, should have come in for Rashid who will get the treatment today I reckon......

A lot could come down to the 2 spinners, make or break. But I would have Plunkett playing every single game over anyone of our bowlers tbh.

Time for Stokes at one end, he always gets a breakthrough.

You could even bring him in and drop Vince and open with Mooen or Root and juggle the batting line up around. Can't be any worse than Vince (hopefully that will spur him on to hit a career defining century!!!)

Looking a bit bleak now. Desperately need something here.

Not looking good at the moment. Aussies have had a bit of luck but we haven’t bowled particularly well.

If we can't get wickets,we really need to keep the run rate down. At the moment we really don't look like No.1 in the world and Fav`s.

This is utter shit by England. Fucking garbage..... It’s so flat at the moment. Playing the Aussies at Lords in a crucial World Cup obviously isn’t enough motivation for some. Our fielding is just laughable again.

Thank fuck for that.
That dismissal is ominous for us with Lyon in their team though, spat up off a decent length......

Buttler is having a shocking tournament behind the stumps.

England look like rabbits in the headlights. They have totally frozen on the big day. No intensity, Morgan going through the motions. If we’re not careful the Aussies will end up with 350+ here when the likes of Maxwell/Carey come in....

Just gonna plug Liam Plunkett again, because how Stokes is bowling is exactly what Plunkett would have contributed.

Enter Stokes, takes wicket. He does have that knack, doesn't he? And usually very economical too. Unless he's bowling the death over in the second innings ...
Can only see the scorecard at work, no highlights or commentary. The crims regularly target the bowler whom they think is the most dangerous - Wood went for 24 off 3 & taken off. Was he that bad or did the crims do a job on him?
178-2 off 34. Could go either of 2 ways. They could rack up 380+. Or a few quick wickets now and a struggle for them to get to 300. Still very much game on.

Wood bowled way too short and got punished.

The conditions this morning would have really suited David Willey. Perhaps in hindsight he should have been in the squad instead of Dawson who is unlikely to play anyway.
