I think with 23 needed off 6 balls my earlier prediction was absolute nonsense! Unless Stuart Broad bowls this last over that is just a few too many to get

especially with ‘Chris I can’t time my shots for shit Jordan’ at the crease lol

Was that a ridiculously slow final over or have I just not watched T20 for a while?

Didn't watch but final overs can be piss taking in the ridiculous micro-managment after every ball. It really can't help the bowler.

England innings started at 1545pm and ended at 1745pm... India completed their bowling within the 2 hour limit.

I think young Sam should probably sit out the decider.

No way Malan is dropped. Morgan is nothing if not loyal and though he's had a bad run he still averages 49 in T20i.

And not questioning his place for a moment, but it's time Stokes got hold of one of these matches and won it. His highest T20i score is 47 with an average of 20.38. He's better than that.

I am sure England are missing out by not picking Root the way that innings went early on It was crying out for somebody with the coolness of Root . I am probably alone in my opinion but nonetheless I stand by it

I’d much rather have Root than Malan. could also bowl thebodd over of spin if needed.

England have won the toss again and will bowl first.
India should seriously send someone else out to do the coin toss ?

 

[UncleBuck]

Needed that, cracking knock from Rohit though

 

[midoshairband]

this is going well ?

 

[UncleBuck]

What a catch from Jordan!!!?

 

[dondo]

Bowling some garbage here

 

[southlondonyiddo]

Don’t think we’ve bowled very well. Can only get these if India are equally poor with the ball

 

[southlondonyiddo]

What a catch from Jordan!!!?

Easy catch for Roy!!

 

[TEESSIDE1]

That’s England losing the series.

 

[dagraham]

Lol

 

[TEESSIDE1]

A wicket down already and the defensive Malan at the crease... oh what could possibly go wrong lol

 

[Spurs_Bear]

NOBODY MOVE

 

[JCRD]

Great match so far

 

[dondo]

Malan playing some top shots here, proper cricket shots too not slogging
