Samit Patel is grossly out of shape and he is rubbish.

But can he play right back?

Patel is getting bigger! I thought he was in because he'd lost weight. He must have installed one of those circus mirrors in the dressing room.

We'll be chasing 170+ at this rate.

Great comeback by England, 104-1 just after half way to 165 all out before the end of the 20th

Very absorbing game but Bopara is all over the shop. 106 for 3, but he won't last much longer. We really need Morgan to hang around.

Morgan played excellently. The others have to finish this off.

These two aren't England's quickest batsmen! 20 needed from 18 balls.

That's that. Well played Morgan, Bopara and Dernbach.

Well played, Bopara?! He looked shaky throughout, didn't get his first boundary (of 2) until he was on 17, had loads of time to look at the pitch, get acclimatised and got 31 off 36. Positively Trottesque.

Great game though, very tense. Well played!

Dernbach bowls possibly the best slower ball then anyone at the moment, he's a great player to have in the one day stuff.

Still was part of that Morgan partnership and was there at the end.
