    Saw the last four overs. I enjoyed how that ended.

    I realise winding up English cricket is a fun hobby for Australians but this didn't age well: www.espncricinfo.com/cricket-videos/tim-paine-england-s-white-ball-teams-are-living-in-the-past-1438025

    Foxshaggers' Louis Kimber is having a good day. In at eight, he's 197 not out off 97 balls, with 19 fours and 16 sixes
    Festershire were 175-7 chasing 464 for victory. Now 388-7.
    Just don't mention Kent.

    Hey, only losing by an innings and 83 is a veritable triumph. It's usually 3 figures.

    Apparently you can’t get a hotel room in guyana because the Indians have bought them all (the advantage of knowing they’d play there irrespective of how the groups panned out) yet the ground looks about 30% full at best. Weird.

    Anyway, we won the toss and will bowl. Always prefer it when we’re chasing.

    India are getting a bit lucky here. Miscues going safe and one straight through Salt. Which we don't really need.

    Yep, bit streaky to say the least. Two wickets in the power play still pretty good.

    It wasn’t decisive but Moeen edging into his thigh pad off a spinner and setting off for a quick single didn’t have much to do with India being good.

    No but it’s often about the build up of pressure which forces those errors.

    Archer running out Livingstone a moment ago was pretty dimwitted though I must say.

    I see that England's innings lasted 100 balls.
    Fancy that.

    Just noticed the England under 19s currently playing feature Archie Vaughan opening and Rocky Flintoff in the middle order (and Jaydn Denly opening but Joe is somewhat less ilustrious).

    Whilst Archie and Rocky are 'sons of' Jaydn is Joe's nephew.

    Can Duckett slow down a bit? I'd like some of the game to be left on Saturday.
