I always thought of Trott in the England ODI batting order as being like dad, driving a car full of complaining kids on sugar highs to the coast, gripping ever tighter on the wheel, way past the point of telling them to sit down and behave.

Different game now.

Well done Joe.

Root run out. How did that happen?

England were cruising.

Poor call from Morgan. Never a single there.

Seemed like every game he was fighting a lone hand

He'd make 80 off 100 when the rest of the top order gave it away then everyone blamed trott for not batting quicker after our bowlers got massacred

Given the reality of the England top six, he did what he had to do, with little fuss.

No one knows why Buttler has been shunted back down to six.

The Pakistan ground Fielding has been awful.

Are England ahead on DL if thats the end of the game?

Id think we are a long way ahead

There goes Morgs' fifty.

England go ahead on the super series.

Anyone remember that?

252 to win off 48. Morgan's fifty is back on.

England win by 44 runs. Roy for POTM?

Had a feeling they wouldn't get back on.


First blood to England. They take the lead again in Strauss' points scoring chart.

Affirmative.
