We struggle if Salt doesn’t get us off to a flyer. There was a time when Buttler could do that for us but now he wants to ease himself into every innings and if he doesn’t go big he puts pressure onto everyone else.
I’d move Buttler back down the order, he used to finish games like that for us in his sleep.

Annoying to lose when we looked like we were going to pull it out of the bag.
However, the run rate hasn't been damaged, so if we beat USA then we should get through anyway.
Ideally we could do with South Africa beating West Indies to avoid getting the calculators out.
Regardless of whether we finish first or second, Australia and India are waiting in the semis and final like a couple of big, badass end-of-level bosses. We might be that side (a bit like the Aussies were in the ODI World Cup) who sneak through group stages looking mostly unimpressive, but kick into gear at the right time. We were good against the West Indies the other day, so we do have it in us still.

Still confused as to why Root doesn’t play? Scores quickly even playing fairly conventionally and his spin is underrated….

Just read that former England fast bowler David "Syd" Laurence has been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. Can still remember what is possibly the worst injury in cricket ever as if it was yesterday, horrific !
Stay Strong Syd

Despite last night I think our batsmen are coming in to a bit of form. All of them have a decent score now apart from Moeen. It’s the bowling for me which has looked below par with the exception of the mercurial Rashid. We still have a chance to win it

It is a measure of their improvement that Afghanistan beating Australia doesn't feel like much of a shock. If their batsmen can score a decent number of runs, they have the bowling attack to beat anyone, especially on these wickets. The Aussies are in a bit of a pickle now. They really need to beat India to stay in the tournament.

Eng v USA now.
Come on England.
Windies hammered these and chased down what they scored in about 10 overs.

Well done Jordan a hat trick and 4 wickets in 5 balls.
Chuffed for him.

Great death bowling from Jordan.
Is there a number of overs we need to knock them off in to guarantee we go through or do we just need to win the game?
EDIT - Just heard, 18.4 overs to guarantee we get through to the semis.....

Buttler going crazy. It’s fair to say our net run rate will explode after this.
