England win very easily. Much better performance today by the whole team.

Yep.  Apart from maybe Plunkett and Wood, we were at pretty much full strength today and it was a comfortable win.

Watched a bit of the South Africa v Australia test earlier.  Could not believe how few people were there at Durban seeing as it is a big test series.

Great bowling from Woakes again, England win on the last ball in a very tight game.

Watched a bit of it last night and it looked a difficult batting track.  Good work to defend a low total though and now 2-1 up in the series.

Decent start for us here.  Dunedin in the sun looks a fantastic place to watch cricket.

This is the value of Roy at the top, if he gets 40-50 he does it so quickly that we're always ahead of the game.  Bairstow has slotted in up there superbly as well which means we really put on the pressure in the powerplay.  This is definitely our best format right now as well, think we're 2nd in the rankings but I'd back us against anyone in ODIs other than in very specific sub-continent conditions.

Terrible review, was fairly clearly outside leg and looked far too high.

Great catch that, but shouldn't take away from the fact that this has been a superb start.  Need Root to settle in and let Bairstow carry on smashing it about now.

I reckon that 6 from Bairstow might've landed in Australia, it was fucking huge.

On course for a big score. Looks like we'll need 370 here. Good pitch and a tiny ground

Hmmmm, all getting a bit braindead now. A score that should have been 400 is looking more like 350 now
