Haha top stuff from our boys. Hope Patel gets Patel out - would be strange to see that on the scorecard.

This Yusuf Pathan is one of the most innocuous-looking specialist fingerspinners I've ever seen. Albeit this is a pitch offering nothing to bowlers of any kind.

If Pathan doesn't bowl again you'd have to say his was the worst performance in a single game in the context of his team-mates in ODI history.

0 out of 387-5 and so far 3 overs for 30 out of 105 for 5.

In fairness, Samit Patel's looking decent enough so far too. Not sure he'll be able to convert this into anything particularly substantial, but good luck to him if he can.

I think I need bed. 3-and-a-bit hours' sleep doesn't agree with me.

20-Twenty performances do not guarantee ODI success and ODI success doesn't assure the same in Test matches. Yousuf Pathan is one of many cricketers around the world who are living proofs of this and yet majority of the fans do not seem to consider this.

I wouldn't call him a "specialist fingerspinner" - he's picked as a batting allrounder.

KP and Patel are doing alright here. Are we witnessing one of the greatest ODI partnerships of all time? :ph34r:

Good effort from KP he can't do it all by himself though :(

Shocking stuff. Thank God there are 6 matches for us to turn this round :ph34r:

Shocker of a game from Ravi, he got a rocket in the field from KP and then he sells the captain down the river. I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t see him in the next game.

England have been manshamed.

Just showed the highlights on Fox Sports News, some insane hitting from Yuvraj, especially down the ground. So awesome when he gets going.

Oh and Bhajji's send off was :laugh:
