Buttler has been completely underwhelming all tournament, well overhyped.

Looks like the pressure is getting to us again. Lucky not to be run out there.

Nearly just a stupid run out.  FFS England, sort it out.

He's not over-hyped, just struggling for form.

There was absolutely no need for us to put ourselves in this situation. Poor shots when we were dominant and now we look scared again.

Morgan should have given way to Ben Stokes with ok 16 overs to go. Am I being harsh by calling him selfish? Given that Stokes is in blinding form? Also, hyper critical but Bairstow often gets out just after getting a ton. Go bigger young man!!

The 'problem' with Stokes is that he takes a while to get in, when you already have 30-35 overs done and 200+ on the board I can see the sense in bringing Morgan (who gets going quickly and can be destructive) in ahead of Stokes, even though Stokes has been excellent. What's really odd here is that Stokes is in great form and on his home ground and yet he's really struggling to get the ball away.

Hopefully Morgan will tee off from here though, we really should've been looking at 350.

10 overs left.  Need Stokes to start smacking it about a bit.

Need to hope that Roy and Bairstow made the pitch look easier than it is.

I doubt it though. Far more likely that we've just bottled it again.

55 for 4 from 13 overs. Incredibly bad.

Seeing how Woakes has gone there I think the pitch is playing a big part here, that one lost a lot more pace in the bounce than you'd expect which is why he was through the shot early.

I suspect the first 15-20 overs of their innings is the key here now, if we can keep them under control and take a few wickets the surface and a softer ball makes it harder to bat on.

I’m hoping the last 20 overs are down to the pitch/older ball. If it isn’t it’s a dreadful effort.
