Bit more flow now. Looking much better, though Stokes certainly hasn't had his best knock.

Also wouldn't mind Buttler coming in now really

Weird adjustment in modern ODIs - once upon a time a bowling attack in this situation would be like **** this they're going to score 330+, game over we are ****ed. Now the aim is to try to shave runs because limiting the damage to 320 instead of 340 could win you the match. Keep focused so you concede 9 runs per over instead of 11, even though you must feel like you're getting tonked either way.

Yep. T20 has changed the thinking quite a bit.

This is Clive LLoyd ball or Dave Richardson ball or Shashank Manohar ball or whatever. It is not cricket.

They were keeping Immie back for Buttler so for SA to bring him back with him not there showed England were calling the shots in this innings. But another 1 or 2 from KG/Immie and we liking our work.

How many do you fancy chasing against this England attack?
