Stokes playing well now, but he really shouldn't be there to score these runs.

I missed the silliness from Stokes having watched most of the game but he's certainly decided to go after Kuldeep, I like batsmen giving a spinner a going over like this, force the captain to change his plans or bat them out of the game. As things stand England should win this from here, a run a ball 100 with a 120+ partnership at the crease should be simple.

This is brutal now, Stokes has taken full advantage of the reprieve he got.

Stokes was unlucky to glove one on 99, then the quick wickets of Bairstow and Buttler. Should still win comfortably.
That was an incredible knock from Stokes.

Stokes went 39 from 38 to 99 from 52 - that's just insane.
On the wickets:
Stokes was unlucky, as the commentator said he played it like someone on 99 rather than how he'd been playing for the 20-30 minutes up to that.
Bairstow gets loads of credit for a great knock but it was a strange shot to play with a new batsman at the other end.
Buttler was just a brilliant delivery to someone on his 3rd ball, can't really fault him for getting done by that.
Livingstone is looking good so far, glad he's had a chance for some time in the middle, even if it took a bit of a collapse to happen.

We haven't performed as we might've liked consistently enough, but I think it's been a great tour. Lots of drama and entertainment.

That was an extraordinary example of 50 over batting.

No we should rest our best players in the Ashes to make sure they're fit for our next triangular series with Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. 🙄

India off to a good start 57/0. Topley wayward bowling. Any reason why Woakes has been ignored for 6 months ? Aside from having to isolate for a short period he was the Professional Cricketer's Association player of the Summer last year. I wonder if the powers that be will let him start for the Bears?

Close game in the end, looked like the dropped catches were going to cost India dear and Curran batted well.
