Well after tonight not much doubt that Curran is going to play...he was the difference with his death bowling for both matches. Really excellent tonight

Think Malan might have quietened the doubters a bit too.

Australia beat West Indies 2-0.

India won the ODi series against South Africa 2-1.

Tri-series in Christchurch between NZ, Pakistan and Bangladesh - three wins for NZ so far, and two for Pakistan.

I am feeling far more confident going into this game than the one in Perth. The first four bowlers picked for the Aus' T20 team - that all missed in Perth - are in for tonight's game.

Stoinis was the pick.... didn't think I'd be saying that.

England v dibbly dobbly medium pacers. See also their struggles against Colin de Grandhomme.

Still, was a good win, although batting first probably helped - was a cool night in the 'berra, plenty of dew around. Curran, Malan and Moeen were all solid.

Unsurprisingly, the final of the Tri-Series was between NZ and Pakistan.

Pakistan won by five wickets.

Looking good for the World Champs?

Na too overly reliant on the openers...middle order will let them down
