Nothing astonishes me about this game other than Morgan got a century.
I did not see that coming. It's like the eclipse of the sun, if you miss it, you wait a few years for the next one.

My hats the thing he now keeps his place.

Billings I constantly hear is the best English player of spin cannot get in the side when spinners bowl 50% of the overs etc

Hope in the last game Billings and Bairstow are given a game.

Seamers are all carbon copies of each other, no variation all mid 80's up and down.

Easy pickings.

We lack a toe crushing 90mph like Mitchell Starc, shame Tymal Mills injury problems mean he can only bowl 4 overs a day otherwise he'd be ideal.

Big issue is no spinner with control no way on this planet should a spinner only bowl 6 of 50 overs in India.

Fast bowlers rarely do well in India. The seamers we have are perfectly suited at home and other areas where swing conditions are dominant.

India are a quality side at home. They rarely lose. We don't have spin bowlers and their bowlers look equally uncomfortable in U.K. Conditions.

But that's no excuse that if you can get a seamer that can do alright in India conditions can be a potential match winner.

No game plan for the seamers.

Excellent at times but I had my heart in my mouth right up to the final ball

Hooray! At bloody last.

Even then I thought Woakes was going to bugger it up. He's usually very good bowling at the death, but those first two balls..... I thought we'd blown it.

Followed it up though with 4 excellent deliveries after.

Great finish in the end, stokes on fire again. We really needed that confidence booster before the T20s

Don't teams that have already won a series tend to take their foot of the gas in the final game?

First ever time in a 3 match series that both teams have scored over 1000 runs each, India scoring 1053 to Englands 1037. Its also the first time Kohli has experienced defeat as captain. All in all we are a side in transition, the level of improvement shown ( in the ODI arena in particular) has been excellent, Hopefully we can continue to improve in all formats.

Indian umpires at an England vs India T20 game? Sounds fishy to me.

Couple of mistakes but one each way so didn't seem to be dodgy. Think they need to bring in reviews in T20.

I really do think we should say we are all ill for the next India tour.

This is a humongous collapse of biblical proportions.

Err... make that 8 wickets for 8 runs.

8 wickets in just 19 deliveries.

All out, all over, time to come home with our tail between our legs.

Can imagine at Heathrow airport arrivals.

Someone hanging around the terminal: 'Ooh, is that someone famous?'

Stewardess: 'No, it's the England cricket team.'

That's got to be some sort of record even in the mayhem of T20.

Sure they said it was the second worst ever, that of losing 8 wickets like that.

Worst was New Zealand in 1945.

Mixed feelings on this one. I think we were moving in the right direction (tour of India aside on all fronts) and I cannot see a logical replacement. Root is the obvious choice but he is probably the most talented batsman we have and I wouldn't want him to take his focus from that.

Yeah, agree. Think it could be to the detriment of his game.
