Honestly, I just scratch my head sometimes when I watch seasoned professionals, who play more than enough T20, bowl the way England did at the death.
How are Neesham and Mitchell going to hurt you? Over the leg side with length. Where did they predominantly bowl? Straight length. Mitchell scored 19 of his 72 runs through the off side, predominantly singles. Yet Woakes honestly bowls one of the worst death overs I've ever seen, where he hits the hole (ish) first ball and it goes well, then bowls four in the slot and a massive leg side full bunger when the game is over.
Rashid bowls in Neesham's arc, and when he finally bowls wide wrong-uns - even though Neesham knows that's coming - he gets out. Jordan did the same mostly - rubbish control and bowling exactly where Neesham wanted him to.
