When In Rome

Agreed but I think generally the sides are quite evenly matched. But the hard flat pitches, especially at the WACA, you really can't have the likes of Woakes throwing down half flat-trackers. I feel Moeen could still be useful out there but the batting needs serious contemplation.

The windies are going to take some pinning down at this rate !!!

When In Rome

I'm watching it. This is far more likely to keep me awake than watching Spurs v Swansea.

Gayle went very softly !!!

Moeen Ali just scored the 2nd quickest ODI hundred for England. Hit 50 off 2 overs!

Lovin that !!!

When In Rome

Just tuned in. England gone bonkers in Bristol! Captain Morgan out first ball, Moeen scored second-fastest ODI 50 and Root passes 10,000 international runs. From 217/6 they amassed 369-9 (50 overs).

I don't know how much longer Morgan can keep his place, does being Captain make him immune from being dropped, it's been years since he was consistently good.

How lazy is Chris Gayle !!!!

Fastest ever 'second fifty' (12 balls) in history.
