If England's batting keeps on being poor, I think it'll be a lot easier to forgive and forget...

Luke Wright. Rhymes with $h!te. Decent opposition and he'll be nowhere. Get him out of the team now, please!

England in a terrible situation already. Conflict abounds.

There's a real need to consolidate after losing those 2 early wickets but the target being chased is too high to allow that.

Thank god I am not paying anywhere near full price for sports at the mo as England are not worth a penny of it.

Use your feet. you're in a PP against a spinner, plenty of room, use your feet.

There you go, beautiful shot. See? Nothing wrong with going down the wicket...

May I also add what was he doing a) watching Cocktail b) Tweeting about it earlier. Should be practicing your batting Luke, maybe then you wouldnt be utter ****!

I think that's unfair. These guys practice seriously hard. By all means have a pop at them for not being (IYO) good enough, but I don't think you can say they don't work hard enough.

We're not missing Ravi are we? After all, he did manage to score a 50 against WI in the summer...

England will have to target Sammy you feel.

Oooh, just over deep square-leg.

Nice ramp shot from Bairstow.

13 off the over, good one, but playing catch-up unfortunately.

Hales doing ok though eh fists?

this is kinda rubbish from england

Great catch from Pollard.

Outstanding catch from Pollard on the boundary there.

Bairstow just doesn't look good against spin I'm afraid. Worrying times...

what england player looks good v spin?

Buttler looked good the other night. Hales looks reasonable today. Bairstow looks like he doesn't have a clue.

well done hales

ok just 7 more overs like that and we will do it!!

50 for Hales, nice knock.

Net run-rate also comes into consideration here, for both teams potentially.

Not sure Gayle can run Morgan out there, his back foot had landed. Just because his run up is the slowest thing known to man!

Gayle's just great value!

Have we missed a trick by not bringing mogs in earlier???

I'm betting England won't win one match in India this winter and will then go and get buried in NZ. They're bottom tier again in record time.

Morgan gets past 27, which I'm informed by Fists is the first time he's done so in 10 attempts (warm-ups excluded).

It's been a good fightback this. I've seen stranger things.

hey hey trebbs on to save the day

Nah, how do you save the unsaveable?

Hales run-out I think... or not, just in...

We need a Parnell to Buttler over if we are going to get back into this though.

Someone to give away 6 no balls on the bounce and a six off each would be nice.

That's how bad England are now that they need that

Why didn't Mogs come in before Bairstow?

Morgan gets away with an awful miscue. Gayle done for the day, 1-27. Good spell.

Hasn't Morgan said he doesn't want to bat 3? So I'd imagine he doesn't want to come in early.

Shouldn't that have been six... Because he was in contact with the rope when he took off and landed outside the field of play?

i thought it was a boundary if your foot was on the rope???

100% a boundary- england got robbed. lets hope we dont lose by 4 or less

Hales looks knackered out there and it looks like this Narine over has finally finished England off here.

Yeah , that start combined with the pathetic dernbache final over threw this game away.

Morgan just trying to overhit those last two balls.

Needed one of those to go for 6 for England to have a slender hope.

Good effort from these two, but ultimately you're not going to win many game from 0/2

Rampaul trying to bring England back

What a knock this is Mogs.

well if your gonna lose - you may as well lose like that. I have renewed hope- As long as we bring mogs up the order

Morgan's murdering Rampaul, England in with a real chance to win this one. I'd say if Morgan stays through out, then England will win this.

So 23 of the last over. Who's going to bowl that?
Narine is done, Rampaul is done, Gayle's done.

you must be abit behind msp

So dernbache throws another game. Starting to wonder if its on purpose.

That final over saw engs heads drop and then the first two fall over like children.

And that was the difference.

Samuels

Samuels it is, Not sure about that. 4 of the first ball.

3 6s of the last 3 will win it for England. Hales on strike.

YAY... GO WINDIES!!!

Yay go home England.

And never pick dernbache again.

Samuels gets Hales!. All that Samuels needs to do is not to over step and keep his line right for the next 2 balls.
