Yeah make them hit off a length with variations of pace. India finished terribly, going to need us to do the same to lose from here.

 

[Jono]

Bang the ball in short of a length, there's really no point pitching it up whatsoever

Edit: for the quicks i mean

too dumb to do what is obvious for everyone to see.

 

[Jono]

Oh Yuvi, why are you playing

 

[Shri]

Good call on the lack of slower balls from us from whoever it was earlier in the thread.

 

[Howe_zat]

Matchwinning partnership.

You'd say it's a game of fine margins except Mishra's no ball was ****en massive

 

[Jono]

Haha Nass called that, well done

 

[91Jmay]

Dreadful slog from Stokes, really good slower ball but no need for that at all.

 

[MW1304]

Best innings Stokes has played so far, which says a lot. Still massively improving in the short forms.

 

[Jono]

imagine if these guys bowled slower balls throughout the whole innings!

 

[91Jmay]

Pace off on a length here is the key. Root not comfortable trying to play big shots. Need Buttler special to win it from here.

 

[Howe_zat]

What even is this over

 

[Jono]

haha man, Eng went from 1.25 to 2.25 in the space of like 10 balls.

 

[fredfertang]

Tricky now

 

[91Jmay]

Need a couple of boundaries next over. Root for second game in a row looks quietly quite horrible.

 

[MW1304]

Wow that's a great over. Root's taken his time but he's set, has to be down to him.

 

[fredfertang]

Could do with Liam Plunkett

 

[fredfertang]

Interesting tactic this

 

[91Jmay]

Buttler is just incredible timer of the ball. No way that ball should have gone for 6. No way.

 

[Howe_zat]

Buttler so clutch

 

[MW1304]

Or Jos can just do it all.
