These chaps only operate on 1st gear or 5th.
Damn. Bairstow goes 94. Great innings.
Couple more quick wickets and we could be in trouble

India have to be favourites now despite the relatively easy run rate
That was quite the collapse. Too many stupid shots that weren't necessary given the position we were in.
That was a pretty woeful collapse
At what point is Morgan going to realise that his team are not good at batting second?
They would have won that with Root at 3 tbf. He would have played a nice sensible innings. The middle order haven't performed well for a while now in any white ball cricket.

The ability to just keep the scoreboard ticking seems to have completely gone.
Proper basic one day stuff really.
Stokes definitely not a no.3 batsman. Surprised they didn't pick Malan with Root given a rest. The Hales issue isn't going to go away either while the batting isn't firing.
Where is Chris Woakes btw? He hasn't played a game all winter? He was brilliant last summer bat and ball.

Think there will be any changes for next game. Malan in at 3 like ToffeeTim suggested?
