I know England like chasing but surely on a road like this you want to just go out and bat freely and put the opposition under scoreboard pressure?

I’ve rarely seen a team find the gaps in the field as well as India have this innings.

Why have we bowled so many half trackers? It's been poor throughout.

I’ll be staggered if we chase this down. We’ve got too many batsmen out of form.

It’s a gettable total on that wicket

It’s a gettable total on that wicket We’ll need Buttler and/or Roy to go big. And we can’t afford one of Malan’s sluggish starts.

Trouble is India never really had a slower spell. Can’t afford to waste a single ball.

What a repugnant character Kohli is. I wonder what he was shouting at Buttler to force Buttler to turn around like that, vile cocky bastard.

That’s game over. One of Malan or Buttler had to see it through.

Good bowling from India in the middle overs to be fair

We were 130-1 with 7.3 overs left
95 off 45 needed.
We've mustered just over 40 runs since.

Seems a bit of a wasted series to me. It was a good opportunity to have a look at a few players on the fringes of the side in conditions they will be faced with during the World Cup.
Instead we played the same side every game apart from the Wood injury and it’s fair to say there are probably more questions than answers after that.
Stokes isn’t bringing anything to the side, he either needs to bat higher up or be replaced by a bowling all-rounder who is capable of bowling four decent overs.
Bairstow just isn’t a number four and it’s seems an age since Roy or Morgan made a meaningful contribution in this format.
Jordan and Curran are nowhere near good enough to get an a side looking to win the World Cup.

It’s not all doom and gloom, we played a very good side in their conditions and dicked em twice. We are still in the top two T20 sides in the world, minimal tweaking required
