Maybe. That cameo today was fine though. With wickets in hand as long as the likes of Buttler and Woakes are well north of a run a ball from the off it doesn't matter if they don't last.

Not any more. Bumrah is bowling 2 of the last 3..
They can score off Shami.. not easy against Bumrah
Yeah should have come in instead of Morgan .
Yes and I forgot that Bumrah had two overs left
Yea today he done what was needed. But if he gets 15ish overs he can easily hit 100 of 60 odd balls but he rarely gets that length of time at the crease
Agreed, he’s a great player when he’s pumped up and he hasn’t had a chance so far.
Personally very pleased with this effort.
Lost our way for 5 overs but largely very good.

5-fer..

Wicket machine Shami, it really helps when you have an unhittable bumrah at the other end.
Guy just cant stop taking wickets.
Well done Shami
Does Shami not bowl slower balls
This is a fecking beauty of an innings from Stokes.
I called for him to come in at 3 after the start the openers put on.
I think bairstow lost it a bit because root wasn't getting boundries.
Stokes winning the game for England
Despite his 5-fer, some poor poor bowling by Shami. Giving everything to Stokes in his zone.
He doesn't have the intelligence of Bumrah or Bhuvi. Or the accuracy. Why not bowl wider?

Is this Stokes or Flintoff?
The worst five for in the history of world cricket? Awful, awful bowler. England happy to give him wickets as long as he keeps bowling.
Apart from when he's going to the boundary
I agree though, he's done well on the whole. My worry from an England perspective is that our quicks will probably go for all the runs without taking the key wickets Shami's managed.
Pretty much this. If we fall short by 20-30 runs, it's because of Shami to Stokes.
It’s the trade off you get being a wicket taking bowler.
Far from an awful bowler. He is very good..The worst five for in the history of world cricket? Awful, awful bowler. England happy to give him wickets as long as he keeps bowling.
that said, not having the best game. Never a death bowler either..
I thought liverpool fans were only dumb while talking about football, didn't realise they are dumb about everything.The worst five for in the history of world cricket? Awful, awful bowler. England happy to give him wickets as long as he keeps bowling.
Such poor balls giving 20-30 extra runs from Shami.

Its flat as feck this wicket and he kept us in the game @ 3-23 after 7.
Bumrah is absolutely unreal.
That's a no ball?
335 is not too bad at all.
Bumrah is exceptional at the death. Starc and Bumrah are the best in the world.
Take a bow Jasprit. Great bowling.
Why play that shot? Too much risk, why not keep playing as you have
think I read that weird article somewhere too. A little orange is good. Too much looks odd.Brilliant innings from Stokes.
Absolute gem

Shami owes Bumrah a few quid for some of his wickets. Great death bowling
England’s Bumrah has come on.
Bumrah's a cheat .
.Bumrah is phenomenal. He must be playing on a different pitch from Shami judging by the replies to me above.
Cracking innings from Stokes. He brought this innings back to life.
