Buttler and Hales going, 'Why didn't everybody just bat like Hardik?'
The real battle starts after one or both get out, of course.

after/if This has big 'England spun out for 120' energy. Can we bring in Joe Root as a concussion substitute? Feels like his kind of game... Fear not, we have Jos Root to do just this.

It will, vs. Pakistan.

Certainly Shaheen, Naseem, Haris and Shadab are much scarier bowlers than the Indian attack.
On the other hand, SKY, Kohli, Pandya and Pant are much better than Mohammed Haris, Iftikhar, Shan Masood and Mohammed Nawaz.
Should be a cracking game.

Rohit's post match interview was pretty poor, listening back. Blaming the bowlers when he's scored 27 off 28 and both Indian openers have had miserable tournaments. Doesn't sound like a happy camp.

Plenty of grip in the pitch, Curran and Rashid bowling well as per.

Ah heck, I missed the good innings for England and tuned in just as Hales got bowled.

Would’ve been so beautiful had that run-out attempt hit Stokes’ bat and gone for 4

Aw fuck, feel for Pakistan here. Losing Afridi, one of the best three(?) bowlers in the world, and watching the replacement part timer's over go for 13 in a low-scoring thriller... Heartbreaking.

Yeah Shaheen's injury was really tough timing, that game was going to the last ball I think until he pulled up. Brilliant from England's bowlers, especially Scurran and Rashid and my word Ben Stokes, what an absolute clutch player. For those who follow football, he reminds me of Didier Drogba - not the absolute top tier stats overall, but absolutely nobody better on the big occasion.
