The required run rate is over 10 now. And still I'm nervous.

Give Woakes the MoM already.  

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

Quite comfortable in the end on paper.

In real life, tense as hell.

A good win.

Nice not out for Dhoni to nudge his average up . Can’t think of any other reason for that , and he’s done it before 

Anybody would think they were afraid of Pakistan....

I went to the Sri Lanka vs Windies today. It was a really entertaining game for a dead rubber. Sri Lanka looked dead certs for the vast majority but the sun and enjoyable Sri Lankan support made it great fun. And the Windies refused to roll over and hung on in there. The crowd got very nervous when Poornan and Allen were going strong, especially when Angelo Mathews came on to bowl the 3rd last over, though only for 30 seconds as he got rid of Poornan and in effect ended the game with his first ball. A really good day, as it always is at the cricket.

NZ are going to be thinking that 306 is well chaseable.

And then they are going to be thinking again! :kolobok_cool:

Two very dominant and very un-English comfortable wins against teams who just petered our with the bat from way out .  Two wins away now , which is exciting and nerve jangling . Looks like batting first is the way to go , scoreboard pressure and slowing pitches is proving a big factor
