Stoinis gone for a blob! 5 down. Not sure we will ever get a better chance of making the final than this
Maxwell is the real real dangerman who can score at 10 an over. Get him cheaply and we are really in business. He stays for 15 overs and they will still get a big score.
Smith is key. Maxwell has the ability though....just not the confidence at present. Hope today isn't when he rediscovers it.
We know we will be 15 for 2 after 6 overs (Roy 0, Bairstow 3) but we should now be able to overcome that. 223 all out just now. Seems to be a bit of pace in the wicket for their quickies but can't ask for much more (or less ?) than to chase 224 for the win.
Very much a reachable target, but it won't be easy. Yesterday India probably thought it was in the bag before they started their innings
Certainly won't have many better chances. As good as the Australian bowlers can be, if we lose from here with the batsmen we have, it will be very poor IMO.
Ours to lose. Important we get a good start and if we can see off Starc without losing a wicket then we will have a heck of a chance but I bet we don't make it easy for ourselves
A very gettable total and in theory we should be able to get it, however we are talking about England, therefore I am very nervous
I'm loving this. I'm not sure I'm even that bothered about winning the final, it's just lovely to smash the Aussies
Oz certainly don’t seem as aggressive in the field since their awkward episode in SA. Bodes well for the Ashes.
