Nerve jangling tension

Ah a good old fashion England bottle job

Great game. The hosts have been on the end of most defeats throughout the series, so fair play in the bowling at the death.

Christ, that was poor. Stokes, Morgan, Curran all crap dismissals. We wanted 5 from 5 at one point with Curran and Ali at the crease. Shouldn't have been hard.

How on earth has Joe Denley managed to make his way into the T20 side?? An absolute joke, I am not sure whether he really deserves to be in the test team but the T20 team?? Especially when you've got someone like Malan who scored a century in his last T20 game in November can't get in.

Shambles.

Eoin Morgan says lessons have to be learned from the 1 run defeat. The first is by him and the selectors for picking Denly who can build an innings but not throw his bat around instead of Malan who is the exact opposite and should have played.

Lots of odd decisions, including Denly being promoted over Stokes and Wood not being in when three were needed. Plus the fielding was awful.

Ben Stokes should have gone in with either Roy or Morgan not as late as he did. Wood should have gone in for a bash ahead of Curran to try to take the game away from them.
