Good to see Brad Hogg knows nothing about English cricket, he reckons Taylor is just a nudger. Morgan out, this is going very wrong very quick. Terrible batting.

It's a brute of a pitch. The bounce at the one end is far too variable. The balls that got Dhoni and Bell were maddening.

It might be, but our shot selection is atrocious and we're not going to make the final at this rate.

That was just another really poor shot by Bopara

I'd drop Bopara now, he's been useless in this series. Get Ballance in. Well we're not getting to the final now, a truly woeful batting display thus far.

Thus far this innings has been completely brainless and it's a follow on from our last four overs bowling.

"This might not be too bad a game to lose. My theory is this is not the best Waca wicket, certainly if you have to play on the same pitch again on Sunday. Would you fancy facing Mitchell Johnson on this?"
That's the spirit Dagnall, we shouldn't want to get to a final because it might be a bit scary playing Mitchell Johnson. Shocking statement.

Taylor and Buttler have done a fantastic job here, after some issues were highlighted with our opening and death bowling and a shambolic start to the reply.

There were some really stupid wickets lost from the likes of Root, Bopara and Morgan. The sensible batting by Taylor and Buttler showed a level of maturity that has been missing in our one day batting for a long time.
It got a little nervy at the end but we saw them through. A good win.

A relief of a win that. It's always good to build from a position of strength and there a number of questions that need to be addressed. The opening and death bowling needs to be a lot better. We can't afford to switch off and give away 20-30 runs for the last wicket. The top order need to engage their brains when batting, because that was shocking. If Bopara isn't going to bowl, I'm not sure he warrants a place in the side. Brilliant from Taylor and Buttler though.

Great start from England 3 early wickets but desperately need to get Smith 55-3 16 overs, great start from Jimmy getting Finch 3rd ball of innings,
currently 2-11 off 6, Woakes 0-29 from 4 but had misfortune to have to bowl to Smith virtually throughout his spell.
Broad getting 3rd wicket Bailey fending a ball to Taylor at short leg.....get Smith please!!!!
