    How's that different to making sure you cross when you sky one to deep midwicket so the new batsman isn't facing, or the dozen or more times you back up a throw that the keeper easily gathers at the stumps?

    2nd Match - Australia v England

    India 413, Bermuda 156 is staying on top of this list. We need 128 to keep Australia's 215-run battering of NZ in 2007 on the top rung of the full members list.

    England need 188 to avoid their heaviest ODI defeat of all time.

    They have had the whole innings break to fix this. I really hope Sky are allowed to run things come 2019.

    See, I wasn't sure if this was smoke or more appalling picture quality.

    We've definitely had some. Also currently enjoying four men back on the legside with short balls outside off.

    So where would the slow leg stump bouncer with square leg inside the circle fit into a plan?

    2nd Match - Australia v England

    Would love to read a copy of England's death bowling game plan. If it were to hypothetically exist.

    *Fewer faces. Otherwise agreed - looks like a typical Star Sports broadcast with abysmal production values.

    2nd Match - Australia v England

    I think Finn was done by the bounce off the edge of the square. Not an excuse though... however we have finally managed a shock burst of competent fielding!
