Surprised no Woakes when he seems a lot less likely to start for England next Friday than Moeen.

Yates and Hasan are back in tonight - for Woakes and Brookes. A spin heavy attack?!

Hoping that Hasan gives our pace bowling that much needed edge.

It’s Barnard who is in for one of them - Yates played the last match.

We won the toss and elected to bat.

Oh yes, silly me!

Moeen poor again. Terrible choice of shot. He seems to think that he can just whack everything into the stands with little respect for the pace, line or length of the delivery, or the bowler.

That is 4 failures with the bat now at a strike rate of around 100. Anyone else would expect to be dropped.

And now Davies out with a ridiculous shot

What the hell are these batsmen thinking?

It’s strange to think how dominant we seemed in the first four matches and now we are so abject.

You could write the above about Davies almost every time he bats!

You would think that Moeen & Maxwell have something to do with this.

Two of the most sought after T20 players on the planet and both have been completely abject

I am pretty lost for words tbh

5 down and 9 overs to go and Benjamin tries to sweep for 6 and gets caught, a few balls after Mousley tries a ridiculous shot in front of his stumps.

Something is not right with our mentality

And not only that, both of them to a bowler who already had two wickets. Whatever happened to seeing the best bowler off

Although in Mousley's defence, it was a shocker from the umpire. Missing leg by a long way

Yeah, I did think it looked a bad decision but the shot was a poor choice. Maybe we are owed a decision now.

Looked a good decision, pitched around middle and leg, from a left arm wrist spinner and turned to be hitting middle.

You can't blame the umpire for a bad decision by the batsman.

Hitting middle?! Are you watching the same game?! 😂

Surprised you haven’t mentioned the fact that Benjamin is now averaging 9.57 from 7 innings. I’m sure you would’ve done if it was Davies.

Not even hitting an extra leg stump.
