India v England limited overs, 2025.

[andy]

Rashid drops a sitter off his own bowling then gets hit for 4

[andy]

Buttler will be fuming...his bowlers simply haven't delivered other than archer everyone else has served hit me balls....

Rashid gone for 16 from his first over

83-2 after 8

[Durhamfootman]

Beginning to look like a thumping is on the cards

[Arthur Crabtree]

England 132 all out...competitive score though....

Hmm, not currently going that way. Looks like batters gave the bowlers too much to do.

But the bowlers would have needed about 250 to defend. So no one gets to complain.

[Durhamfootman]

I wonder why England felt the need to field 4 seamers on a day when India fielded 2?

[Durhamfootman]

or waited so long to bring spin into the game?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Missing Ravi Bopara's pace off option.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Long gaps between the games for T20Is....

[Durhamfootman]

they might be tired

[Arthur Crabtree]

Yes... England bowled 12 overs.

[Durhamfootman]

that's 3 days work for England

[Arthur Crabtree]

Though Archer bowled all of his four overs. So maybe due to be rotated out the next game.

[Durhamfootman]

got to keep him fresh for the IPL

[backfootpunch]

Archer gets a wicket but he's really struggling with his line

Far too many balls a good way outside off and he's got clattered for 24 off his 2 overs

To me he's not as accurate as he was pre injuries

[Durhamfootman]

Rashid drops a regulation chance of Woody's bowling and the reprieved batsman promptly hits him for 6, 4, 4. I'll bet Woody's really happy with Rashid right now
