Hales not out thank god
ICC Champions Trophy 2017
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Fine margins.
@Raees gets his first ODI wicket.
Needed that wicket!
Good start by England.

I was so confused. Even start by both sides.. I really don't like Roy or Hales. Something about them just tells me they'll flop when the heat is on in a world cup. Glad Jonny is in.
Seems to be a good wicket, not much going on, surprised Pakistan chose to bat first.
Wouldn't be a Pakistan game without a dropped catch.
If it is England V India, should England bring back Roy in the 3 ODI in India he scored 73, 85 & 65
Not watching so no idea how he's batting today but he's surely got to be picked as the in-form player. He must've made more runs today than Roy did in the 3 games?
Thing is in tournament cricket, when the pressure is on.. I'd back someone like Bairstow over him anyday as the guy has a top notch mentality. He's a world class cricketer.
Had a shaky start, but has settled down. I would have liked Roy given the rest of the tournament when you have a player with a SR of over 100 to me you need to ride the rough with the smooth
Another drop? Come on
Bairstow on his 4th life now
Bairstow you jammy fecker.Ffs 
He's out now anyway.
Bairstow with the same mistake he made vs SA, going ok then throwing his wicket away when no need
Even start right now, England need root to stay in.
Brainless. No need to push it there.
They just need to make 270+.. no need for them to go uber-aggressive here in the middle overs.
Key partnership for England, need to set it up for Stokes, Buttler & Alli to fire
Ponting and Pollock in the commentary box
Haven't seen much of England bowling this tournament, how have they been with the ball? I know their batting has been great.
Much better than expected tbh. Rashid's been dangerous and taken wickets in the middle overs, Wood has a knack of getting good players out and Ball and Plunkett have been a threat.
We seem to have done a decent job slowing the RR down for now.
England probably looking to rebuild for now & smash us in the final 10 overs (I remember Sky stat saying they score close to 100 in the final 10 overs in recent times). Anything over 250 should be enough imo.

I really wish Morgan could score quicker at the start of his innings.
He normally makes it up if he stays in, but it creates pressure on everyone.

Who is that twat that keeps shouting everytime someone is about to bowl? Fielder shouting encouragement or spectator?
Got away with one there! Hate reverse sweeps.
Yes Shadab!
What's up with Root's back? He's had that injury for a long time now.
Starting to hope now.
Just when it looks like England are going to get ahead, we're taking wickets
England in big time trouble vs pakistan!!
Can they even post 250?

Need to get these 2 out early. If they get set, it could get explosive.
Another one!!
This has been shit house from England.
One down.
210 at this rate!
Oh damn, England in trouble.
