England V India Series 2018

Excellent century by Root though.

3rd ODI from Headlingley. England won the toss and decided to bowl.
Roy is injured so Vince has come into the team

India made 256 - 8 in their 50 overs.

England won the match by 8 wickets, and therefore won the series 2-1.
Root 100 no, Morgan 88 no.

After taking a spanking in the first match England came back to dominate the last 2 games.

Vince played OK. So England have a decent squad of 15 players

now for the Test series

On the ODI front we have a good squad , but the test squad is a different thing altogether a lot will come down to how better mentally prepared they are

First test at Edgbaston.

England team:
Alastair Cook, Keaton Jennings, Joe Root, Dawid Malan, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Adil Rashid, Stuart Broad, James Anderson.

England won the toss and are batting first.

Another day of test cricket, another England batting collapse.

In the last session of play 6 wickets fell within 90 minutes and England closed the day on 285/9 after being 216/3.

Ouch. The two Dawid Malan drops off Kohli could yet prove very costly .

The ECB must be regretting starting this match on a Wednesday, as it looks as though there won't be any weekend takings.

England have been comprehensively flattened in the morning session today and have made it to 86/6 at lunch, a lead of 99.

England manage 180 in the end, after being 87/7. Mainly thanks to 63 from Curran, who also took 4/74 yesterday.

India need 194 to win.
