Huge target but this is absolute carnage from England and Ben Stokes.

[Stonesrick]

England have hammered India today. Let’s hope the V’s invited all their friends around to watch the match and are really angry with the result. So much so they decide to take it out on an Englishman, preferably one who originates from the North East 🤞🙏

I’m not holding my breath though 😒

[matt83]

👏 decent chase that. 7 overs left chasing 337

[oldjamfan1]

Come on now, despite the brilliance of the openers and Stokes, who wasn’t slightly concerned when Buttler got out?

Great chase that. Nice to see Liam Livingstone finally get a do as well.

And to drop 2. Another bad day for him.

Stokes was outstanding. 

And no I am not concerned about Buttler. Everyone as an off day

I didnt. But when you put everything into context I think Buttler has enough credit in the bank. At least we have live cricket despite the virus

[Mattyblue]

Buttler is flying in Tests and T20s, but has scored 14 runs in 5 games in ODIs (average 2.8), nothing particularly to worry about two years before the World Cup and he’ll probably smash a 50 ball hundred tomorrow now, but interesting all the same.

You did. I wasn’t commenting on Buttler per se but on the distinct possibility of another England collapse having lost 3 wickets in no time.

Saw the highlights and when Buttler went couldn’t help but think “here. we. go”

[Riversider28]

Looking forward to the ODI decider tomorrow in Venkyville. Looks like Billings will return, so I assume Malan or Livingstone will step down. I would like Livy to get the nod, not just because of the Lancashire connection, but I think he is a more aggressive batsman. This is what is required during the middle to end of the innings as the Indian team have shown in the previous two matches.

My apologise. 

I wasn't worry about not winning the game cos of our team and faith in them

[jim mk2]

England made a hash of it at 223-7 but it's not impossible from here at a little over a run a ball

Just need to play sensibly with proper cricket shots. No need to take risks

[jim mk2]

England finish just 8 short thanks a brilliant effort by Sam Curran. Another series loss though

[oldjamfan1]

Despite England losing again it was a terrific series. Should be a good summer of cricket between these two again.

England vs India summer series will be exciting and interesting how both play. 

Something to look forward

India’s current crop of seamers means they’ve probably now got the best bowling attack they’ve ever had.

As they showed down under, they are going to be a real challenge for England.

Their batsmen might struggle against swing though. They usually do.

Indeed. I would expect a few low scoring test matches.

[Mattyblue]

Well yeah, the day nighter in Adelaide that saw a fair bit of swing saw them skittled for 36!

[oldjamfan1]

Three early wickets for Lancs on the first morning of the County Championship season. Good start after Sussex opted to bat first.

[only2garners]

Probably the weirdest reason for a fixture to be moved for this game. It was originally scheduled to be at Hove but they have an infestation of daddy longlegs on the outfield!
