That's a stunning catch. Ali walloped that. 130-2. Moeen out for 54

 

[Mellotron]

Good knock from Moeen. Some absolutely luxury shots in there.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Fair enough, a few considerably easier chances missed.

Good knock Mo.

LOL - it was yesterday. Retired after a Bazball-like 26*. Today I was mostly jogging past stripey-doored beach huts on the seafront

 

[Pevenseagull]

Half way to their total from 30 overs.
Their score came from 90 overs.


In other news ... The weather forecast for tomorrow has worsened since this morning

Just had a look at the ICC rankings. Any reason why England have played so many more matches than everyone else?

We invented the sport so starting playing long before everyone else.

Great century for Zak.
If it's up by the allotments and bypass VERY short boundaries.
