Mental bowling despite knowing Indian batters strengths.

That dropped catch is proving costly.

As someone commented in a game I played in last summer - dropped catches are like wines - some drops are far more expensive than others and some are nearly priceless (we dropped some on 11 in the 3rd over who went on to score 200).  Brook's drop looks to be very costly indeed

Hardik gives off the impression of being an utter tosser.

A big total to chase, and for once Buttler has to perform with the bat.

4 of the top 5 highest T20 scores has been at this tournament. Only question is will  this be 2nd, 3rd or 4th.

Need a bit of a miracle. Will either go close or be out of it 30 for 4 before you know it, IMO.

I expect the former. Buttler 0.

Reckon India will bowl as wide as legally possible.

Like England should have.

What’s our biggest margin of defeat in a T20?

I think we can call this. Not quite as gun barrel straight with them bowling.
