Bloody hell England, where was this earlier?
This could end up being the best win in the tournament and utterly pointless at the same time.

so which way would folks go, either in this situation as a bowling side wanting to keep the score down, or if defending a relatively low total
A) bowl your wicket takers, may not leave you any to bowl the "death overs" but if you need wickets and get them then the remaining batting may not make most of said late overs or the usual "death" bowlers may have got hit just the same
B) try a measured approach, try to be economic and snuffle wickets, problem with this approach is batsmen can settle and you lose much control you might have had, besides which you might have lost with key bowlers having overs left unbowled which for me is as bad or worse than not batting your allocation

Need to finish top 7 for Champions Trophy.
Silver lining for our next generation of ODI cricketers.

bit of a surprise coming back on, bound to be at least one of the main threats throughout not bowl his allocation at this rate, or maybe Butthead had a word from Bevis (no, not the GOAT ODI batsman) and told him Ali was just giving free runs away regardless of ER

Think Sky has to play some shots here to give us any chance of a competitive score. This is why I would have picked Ashwin not just for his bowling but with bat in hand would have lengthened out lower order

England have done well so far. Can only assume they will struggle with the bat, but who knows!?

must say on reflection am surprised he came in ahead of Bumrah although even more surprised at Bumrah's ODI average of 7.30 and Shami's at 8.40 in spite of both having a fair few not outs!
still England have to face them, 20 overs (if no worthless duck involvement) and they average 25 and 23.... (with ball)

Not a big fan of Agnew, but at least he injects some verve and enthusiasm when talking

Bowl your best bowlers immediately.
