If England win against Sri Lanka - which they pretty much have to do anyway - then it would take South Africa winning all their remaining games (and WI beating Afghanistan) to have the group go down to NRR.

Only one bail lighting up. Neither bail completely out in that frame. Lol, it's like he was looking hard for a reason to give that out.
No idea why Stokes is bowling. He really doesn't add much to this team I don't think, but we don't have another real option. Samit wouldn't have been a bad shout in these conditions.
Root, Hales, Taylor, Morgan, Buttler, Patel, Ali, Willey, Plunkett, Jordan, Rashid
Personally think that is a stronger team than this one and more suited to conditions.
Reckon we might end up finishing 3rd on NRR after this.

Stokes getting three overs - any overs really - is pretty damn baffling. He's still done quite literally nothing in t20s.
It's frustrating to let the tail hit them close but it's hard to complain considering how much worse this could have gone. Will have to beat Sri Lanka and hope for the best.

Willey or Moeen MOTM.
Let them off the hook there at the end. If the Saffa's win their remaining games we're out.

Yep, this game will cost us because of awful bowling at end and terrible captaincy.
Ridiculous exaggeration but yeah there is no way he should be bowling 3 overs, would be tempted to bring Dawson in for him.
Oh well we got through it, have failed to do so many times before so got take the positives.

Do not forgot the top 6. I'm always hesitant to blame the bowlers when they got the other lot out for 120odd. But yes the last few overs were muck.
His final over was reasonable but the first two were insanely bad. That wicket was the worst ball you will see. Absolute filth.
It was bad and he is not a good bowler in this format but worst you have ever seen? Really?

Whatever you say. Having England in any tournament is great!
You just never know what to expect. They are rarely involved in boring one-sided games.
In the end an amazing comeback and win. 2 wins from what should have been 2 losses and they are back in the tournament....
