The International Cricket Thread

Yes it seemed like Pakistan never really got going, they always seemed to lose a wicket before they could accelerate.

Well that's not a good start 0-1

Yep, that was a good bowling performance supported by some poor fielding and captaincy. Overall you've got to be happy with the target.

Losing Salt immediately wasn't a great start to the chase though, and it was a weird shot to play to the first ball of the innings.

Buttler is well out of nick at the moment.

I reckon Buttler will retire from internationals after this, he's been an incredible player for us but he's been on the way down for a couple of years now.

Should have been moved down the order and Duckett should have come in.  Bethell also struggling at the moment.  Need Brook to go really big here.

I've never seen anything quite like this Pakistan spinner Tariq. Some of his deliveries are surely borderline illegitimate.
