Seems quite a sensible run chase. Well placed. Particularly with so much batting in the side.

Joe is out, so there is now doubt. Good innings though.

worst pitch he's ever played on says Harry Brook, which is quite the comment, given that he played in Melbourne and in both of the last 2 venues for the Pakistan test tour

presumably he's never played for Yorkshire at Taunton

Ridiculous comments from brook and root really...batsmen who stayed in got runs...yes it turned but it's the sub continent it will turn...didn't see too much wrong with the wicket to be honest.....some real odd statements regularly made by this England side in recent times

Blimey, huge score by England. Colossal stand by Root-Brook. 191 runs off 19 overs. The latter, 136 runs off 66 balls!

But England pace bowlers getting shredded. Maybe they are using the U16 boundaries.

Shouldn't even get close.

England have bowled 5 spinners... and Root still hasn't had a turn!

Haven't seen any of the game been at work but good to see brook in the runs! And a good series victory turning over SL on their own patch in odis is a rare thing to see
