India v England limited overs, 2025.

[backfootpunch]

I was hoping he'd use his feet and look to hit down the ground when he played the big shot

But no goes for the slog sweep and unsurprisingly trapped in front

Bowlers been given nothing to work with again

Even 270 from here surely not enough

We have reverted to the norm in white ball cricket of being absolutely useless. That 2016-2022 period where we won 2 world cups feels a long time ago.

Livingstone played well against Australia and the west indies but has really struggled

We need more from brook, a lot more.

Mahmood has a slog with archer batting well at the other end

Sums up the innings nicely

3-0 loading

[andy]

248 all out...poor effort...chased inside 40 overs I'm gonna say

Rohit and jaiswal out early....a chance?

Rohit and jaiswal out early....a chance?

Shreyas iyer seems to have decided not

Brydon carse showing what Durhamfootman would call his county form

Buffet bowling

Bethell gets Shreyas! I looked away for half hour and the score flew away! What happened lol?!

[andy]

Rashid strikes again, 2 quick wickets removing axar and KL

[backfootpunch]

Bowlers did a solid job again

Theyve done well the 250 t20 game apart

Top order is letting the team down

that's what we see, week in, week out

[Arthur Crabtree]

Big overhaul of the bowlers, but the batters left intact. Good start by the England openers though.

[backfootpunch]

A better total but I'd have liked a better end to get to 320

Surprised they didn't bowl first. It's usually the thing to do in india because of the dew.

At some point they will learn Overton isn't good enough to be batting 7. Why drop bethell after making 50 and taking a wicket.

[Durhamfootman]

Hamstring injury, I understand, for Bethell. Could be a doubt for the Champs T

[Arthur Crabtree]

Handy score. Plenty for the bowlers to work with. Maybe England a spinner short though.

Oh ok. We are doomed to Overton making no runs and bowling pies then. Great.

Pitch looking rather flat against the new ball. Sharma and Gill looking very comfortable.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Floodlights cut out. Remember when that used to be a betting thing.
