Great day, I hold my hand up and admit to giving in an heading to bed not long after Ali went and thinking we'd probably end up with about 375-400
to add some thoughts
Root knew what he'd done, I don't think I've seen him that angry with himself before, I suspect there was some colourful language in the dressing room, silly shot when him and Cook looked like putting together a mammoth total.
The umpire that gave Malan out should be ashamed of himself, awful decision, as was the lack of a review, very disappointing wicket from that point of view.
Bairstow had a good start and had them lookig a little nervy but the shot that he got out with was truly awful.
Ali added some great impetus but he needs to work on scoring that quick 20 and then settling in and building towards a 50. The little blitz cameos he does are great in a lot of ways but if he could 'down gear' and settle in after 10-15 deliveries he could be a real match winner for us.
Bird for Starc is very possibly the worst injury replacement I've ever seen, he looks totally out of his depth, he's gone at 3.6 but from what I saw it could've been 5+ because he was bowling right in the slot for Cook.
