6th Match - England v Pakistan

[trundler]

Butler is a smart and adaptable batsmen too. Not a one trick pony at all.

 

[vcs]

Yep that's the one.

 

[trundler]

England have it in the bag.

 

[Daemon]

They're strolling. Babar ****ed up big time.

 

[cnerd123]

Yea bit of swing from Hassan but he's not looking threatening. Especially when he drops short.

 

[trundler]

That was one costly drop

 

[Malcolm]

Well played Root.

 

[vcs]

Really intriguing match.. one wicket would turn it right around. These two batting beautifully ATM.

 

[h_hurricane]

Never thought Root is as good as what his record suggested in ODIs, but this has been a real impressive innings. Arguably the most difficult batsman to dismiss if you leave out his tendency to get himself out.

 

[Borges]

Yeah, well played Root! So much depended, and still depends, on him.

 

[trundler]

Need a wicket in the next 2. Even Moeen can run away with this in the last 10.

 

[Malcolm]

2007 first century - Ponting - Australia won the tournament

2011 first century - Sehwag - India won the tournament

2015 first century - Finch - Australia won the tournament

2019 first century - Root

 

[Groundking]

Typical classy knock from Root after getting his chance.

 

[trundler]

Just one wicket

 

[vcs]

Yeah top knock. Maybe captaincy does affect his batting - his Test form has dipped a bit over the last year or so but he's been consistently good the whole time in ODIs.

 

[trundler]

**** yeah.

 

[harsh.ag]

Another twist in the tale

 

[Borges]

Right! That was needed. Badly.

 

[Malcolm]

Just one wicket

yeah !!

 

[trundler]

If this had been dropped I would've killed myself
