Bairstow and Roy gorraway wi a few early on but we could be in fo a big 'un.

Only teks a second to gerra wicket.

Very good start by Bairstow and Roy , can't grumble at that and making the Indian attack look pretty ordinary .

As SB wisely says it only takes a wicket and it can change everything .

So far so good .

[Hodger1957]

Great start if a bit lucky on occasions.
I t gives the likes of Buttler, Morgan & Stokes a bit of freedom to push home the advantage.
I still don't trust our bowlers to bowl full enough. Too much short stuff for me.

[animallittle3]

Well done Mr Bairstow , a fine ton and counting .

Nar then lad that's how tha answers critics , with thi bat not social media .

[Hodger1957]

Who'd have thought we could find a way to mess up after such a start.
Wickets starting to fall and run rate dropping.
Stokes has been one of the few to stand up these last few games.
We need him again now because India are capable of chasing big totals.

Deffo getting bogged down Hodger now , Morgan with another poor shot and pays the price , got him worked out now good n proper .

Bumrah's shown how you bowl today.
Given nothing all day.
I'd have taken that before the start but they're a dangerous batting side.
I think they've pulled a fast one bringing the sub fielder on.
Brilliant catch to dismiss Roy. Well known to be one of the best fielders around.
Their batsman fit enough to open even though he's only fielded for 10 overs.

Adda tekken 337 at start,

70-30 England fo me, especially if we get that bugger Kholi art early.

I'd have taken that at 10.30am this morning too SB .

Decent total that against a high quality side , Stokes was superb in the last third of the innings .

To be honest I was glad when Root got out , not at it today despite his 44 , only two boundaries mind .

Could be tight this , @ss twitching , get that bleedah Kholi out asap , he's the man who could take this away from us , not scored a ton yet at this world cup !!!!!

Feckin hell Root , this ain't the day to be dropping dolly's like that .
