Ha, caught but it's a no ball and now a free hit!
Stunning batting performance so far.

Wow! 418-6. Most sixes in an innings ever, Buttler 150 of 77, a Morgan ton, and even a Buttler salute to Cottrell after hitting him out the ground. Great entertainment.

incredible that was. not forgetting Morgan too. he's in great form at the moment. brutal 6 hitting from Buttler though, incredible how he manages to hit low full tosses for 6 wherever he wants.

also love the salute from Buttler :)

If we don't win the World Cup with this batting line up then we'll never win the sodding thing.

Considering Buttler was something like 45 off 44 balls, he the got to 150 off the next 33!
Scoring 12 of our record breaking 24 sixes. Frightening.

If the bowlers don't defend it, Jofra Archer should expect a phone call!


He should get a call anyway.
The only thing England lack is a 90mph strike bowler and he would be a surprise package for opposing teams in the World Cup like the sri Lanka spinner mendes?? who bamboozled everyone a few years back

our bowling is so suspect. Plunkett is about a 1 in 10 man, and now Woakes and Stokes seem to have forgotten how to bowl.

Of course it's a batsman's game, and they've had to come out swinging, but watching this you don't even see what the plan is. They just keep running up and bowling up any old rubbish that's in the slot to be hit.

Last nights game just highlighted the importance of having something different in your bowling attack. The game looked like it was gone before Wood’s pace and Rashid’s leg spin made it difficult to stay ahead of the run rate, then the sloppy shots came.

We have to pick Archer for the World Cup, his pace will make the difference at key times.

West Indies are a disgrace with their bowling rate 25 minutes to bowl the first 2 overs of the match
