World T20 Champs group stages, Feb 7-20

[Arthur Crabtree]

I wonder if brook wishes he used a 6th bowle today? Curran been really expensive and having to use 4 of his today seems a gamble

Curran's the main death bowler isn't he? Seems to get two at the end most times.

Feel like it's a big innings today for banton...needs a score and when it matters too feels like it's been a while since he scored runs....would like to see buttler get a not out today too if possible

Got to win the game first!

I agree but would like banton to actually score some runs for once! Or even better I'd like to see brook bat above him...don't understand why banton bats ahead of brook to be honest..

152 feels 20-30 short....

To be fair , was really only those first three balls that make his figures so expensive.

All out now. 152. Bowlers have done a good job on a good batting pitch. Batsmen just need to do their bit now...

[andy]

152 all out...think thats not a easy chase at all and could cause pose problems especially given how often our batting line up like to collapse....wasn't straighewsrs with the bowling I think Dawson if he plays has to open the bowling he's a complety different proposition with that new ball...but fingers crossed we get over the line and get the points

[sussexpob]

Ouf... Salt goes straight away!

[andy]

Phil Salt gone FFS!! 2-1 bloody hell! And he's in my FL side

[andy]

I was surprised brad wheal didn't take the new ball, but McMillen has made a fantastic start with the ball here

[Arthur Crabtree]

33 runs in 3 innings for Salt.

[andy]

Still no Wheal...currie opening the other end good start hitting buttler on the pads...

And yep I know awful FL pick salt was

[sussexpob]

Jos, Jos, Jos.... WTF is that!!

[andy]

Would have gone Wheal for the extra pace but the medium pacers are bowling really well and now buttler gone too!!! 13-2

[sussexpob]

Why do I get that sinking feeling this is going to end very badly.

[alfie]

Not impressed with this England batting outfit. No need to go crazy from the start when you only need 7.5 per over. And with only the out of form Duckett as a reserve bat not a lot to do about it.

All irrelevant if they mess this chase up anyway !

[sussexpob]

Would be sensible for both these bats to have 1-2 overs as a sighter. Cannot lose another wicket before the first drinks break, because we have big issues if so.
