Was indeed, he's said his next major injury is probably his last, so a lot on this comeback for his career.

Jordan doing okay here, not sure it's good for England in the long run. Bowling well against Pakistan tail-enders. rather if it's top bats from Saffies, India and the like.

Jordan should've been dropped a while back, but he's still the best fielder in the side and still a decent smacker of a ball down at eight.

I was going to say why doesn't Zaman open because he's the most visibly belligerent of Pakistani bats. But then I went and looked at his and the rest's career SRs, and noone's going at > 128? That's not enough in this brave new age. You need at least one berserker in the top 4.

international t20 stats often dont make sense tbh and idk why Zaman isnt opening either when he is the only one who looks like he wants to play a current era t20

England have really struggled to find an alternative death bowler in the last two years, otherwise they might have moved on.

Jordan has always been good value in T20. His shtick doesn't really extend to 10 overs and so he's been low to mid in ODIs (where people really wanna see Wood anyway) which means people keep being surprised when he's effective here.

Nah he regularly gets torn apart in leagues too

At risk at starting a thing I don't really want to think about ever again, he'd probably be an elite T10 cricketer.

I'd rather having him defend 6 in the last over than a lot of bowlers better than him, but I'd be more worried about him defending 16 than a bunch of bowlers worse than him.

A bit the same with his "finishing" with the bat. High ceiling, low floor.

Azam must be the fattest player i've seen since that Bermuda policeman, and surely rizwan is a
better keeper? Looking at the weather forcast, they might struggle to complete another game.
They say butler might miss some of the WC due to an imminent paternity event.

Typical of him to prioritise the IPL in his fertility planning. A sad sign of the direction of the modern game.

Could be another rained off match tonight - might get it started, but forecast for later not that promising.

That'll show the administrators trying to organise a series in England before June.

When did bbc resume showing cricket?

I shouldn't give up your Sky subscription just yet, the BBC don't show many matches.

Fun to see Archer and Wood in tandem. But I'm not happy seeing Wood regularly falling over in these conditions.

Yeah, England have incredible firepower with ball and bat. This looks like a golden era for English white ball cricket. T20 wc 22, 50 over wc 19....and look good to repeat the t20 wc feat.

Rizwan is a lovely player to watch. As I type he timed the pants off 2 back to back balls.

Not great from Jordan. I don't really know why Archer was only given one over in that spell.
