Imam back on, which is a bit of a surprise, looks like he can barely hold his bat.

Very happy to see a century for Roy, he's had a great series, as has Bairstow.

Here comes the collapse. We’re already well into it, so let’s see if we can buck our trend for occasional shockers.

Odd as it may sound I'm ok with this, Morgan and Bairstow are massive gaps in our top order, this shows that we don't have the replacements for them.

Vince did ok without putting any pressure on Roy or Bairstow and denly has been really disappointing.

Yes, ideal preparation for the CWC.

Credit to Stokes, that's a brilliant innings. I reckon that means the only England top 6 batsman to not have a big score in this series is Root but he's got consistent 40ish scores which, whilst not match winning, are the steadying scores he's there to provide. We're in a really good place with the bat for the world cup.

So World Cup predictions then?

England are favourites due to home advantage but once you reach the semi finals then it’s anyone’s to win. My four semi finalists are England, Australia, India and New Zealand. If England don’t win then I think New Zealand will.

England look fantastic.

Absolutely no way we'll win it.

Will be one of Denly or Dawson for either Plunkett Willey or Curran. Harsh on whoever misses out.

Just to add Moeen is the current weak link so hope he gets his game back together quickly.

The almost mythical 500 from 50, any thoughts?

Certainly looks like they've decided to flex the muscles a bit and put an impossible target up. 400 plus looks likely.
