Some gorgeous shots by Ali so far.

Bittersweet this. Scoring well but everything short is flying and we haven't bowled yet.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Don't make me hope England.

Just be shyte and torment me not.

Yeah, we just know our guys will get smashed everywhere.

 

[BeeGee]

Good start by England.

Never been a fan of Southee in T20. Just too hit-able.

 

[Burgey]

Mr Anderson.......

 

[Zinzan]

Good start England, but they will need 180+ for mine, can only see the dew getting worse as the night goes on.

 

[Zinzan]

Mr Anderson.......

Yes sir?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Should we be calling Moeen "Heinz" as he's wearing #57?

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Should be calling him Mowin'

 

[Cabinet96]

Good start by England.

Never been a fan of Southee in T20. Just too hit-able.

Should just save him for the death when it's reversing. Not like you need him early doors when you have Mills in the side.

 

[Burgey]

England's scoring rate is almost as fast as Chelsea's now.

Bastard, tbh.

 

[Burgey]

With comms saying there's "only been 19 dot balls" in the first seven overs or so, I'd have thought that's actually quite a few? I don't look at these sorts of stats tbh because if you do you miss a third of a T20 innings, but surely 19 dots out of 42-45 balls ain't bad?

Shame Ali got out. Was looking the shizz

 

[Zinzan]

I'd go to Munro before Williamson for an over.

He's out, but I suspect we'll be seeing a lot more of this kid in the short-forms.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ha, Morgan auditions for a test gig by essaying a beautiful leave.

 

[Burgey]

That is one hell of a catch. Brilliant. Wet ball and all.

 

[Woodster]

I know it's a far reach but if these two at there at the end then 200 is a very real possibility. Equally possible is a mid-order collapse and an under-par 150 scored.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Now comes the lollapse.

 

[King Pietersen]

Never fear. Ravi's here. 190 still on.
