He's played a few games internationally but is one of those players you barely realise is playing if you get what I mean. Like a tom cleverley water carrier midfielder basically.

Wonderful !

Archer getting battered here. Not sure on the call to leave out Mahmood

 

[ToffeeTim]

Strange tactics to go for pace in these conditions. The ball just flies off the bat.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

not an expert on such matters but why don't the quicks bowl more full and straight deliveries here.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Short and wide at 90 mile an hour just flies off the bat. I blame the tactics more than the bowling - they've clearly been encouraged to bowl short.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Bad bowling and bad captaincy, and great batting.

 

[Walken]

Incredible innings from Sharma, he's won the game single handed. Probs get subbed for a front line spinner now like

All out for 97 , biggest ever loss (150 runs), hasn't been a good few weeks for England cricket.

Clinical balling by Lyon and good keeping by Carey making this closer then the pitch/ score line suggests

 

[Walken]

That's a shame, good exposure for Bethall this, could be a top player.

England made a piddling 248 all out (47.4 overs). Buttler 52, Bethell 51, Salt 43. India 119-3 (17.2 overs).

Doesn’t help when Brook makes 0 and there’s nothing from lower order

Men's team trying their best to match the women in demonstrating a lack of professionalism.
