If we can stop a run bonanza in the last 4 then this has been a good bowling effort.

I worry about Bresnan at the end.

Not good from Broad here, I worry for us against the spin.

It is not really spinning though is it. Outfield starting to dew up. We should be fine as long as they dont go bonkers at the end.

It's not so much the spin, it's clearing the ropes and pace on the ball. Bresnan recovered that over well, but he doesn't really warrant a place in the side at the moment in my opinion.

This last over is going to be a disaster, terrible bowling and fielding.

Although great effort from Buttler and Hales to get rid of Dhoni.

All depends on our start with the bat. Rain around means we need to start well.

looks about 20 too many and for me we have to play 2 spinners in every game also Finn and Broad should bowl the final overs

Giving away wides and no balls is really poor, top level bowlers should be avoiding that.

Kieswetter needs to work out ways to rotate the strike.

I don't like this opening pair, I really don't think much of Hales.

I do think Kies is a good player though, he just needs to sort out some slightly more delicate shots.

Morgan gone and he looked all over the place to be honest, very poor.

Well this is absolutely horrendous and idiotic batting, spin what a surprise.
