Great stuff, the kind of series you could only wish for.

Ever so slightly disappointed to see the Ashes going back to Aus, I felt the first 2 games were there for the taking for England, but then Aus fans would probs say the same about the last 2 games for them, so I guess fairs fair.

Absolutely love what Broad did in his final test. Love it.

Great effort to square the series after going 2 down.

today was very impressive considering the state of our attack.

Anderson four tests and five wickets. It's a shame he is going to make England drop him permanently.

whilst the return didnt really reflect his bowling, he should think of retiring. This test especially was disappointing.

Just want to take a moment to appreciate this catch, which is special enough in its own right, but is made glorious by the player having composure enough to immediately go nonchalant, like she takes catches like that every day and so no need to celebrate. Top work.

Dunkleys earlier was even better, but not as eye catching

It was quite the day of cricket and it was an honour to be there. van der Merwe’s c&b was also ridiculous and as for Harry Brooks’ assist for a catch on/over the boundary:

The man was unbelievable today.

Ours is looking somewhat ropey

If some numb nuts hadn’t run out the guy on 80 off 56 it could have been very ropey indeed.

Looks like we could be hounded out of this one.

poor from us, but pleased for Afghanistan

Yeah, well done Afghanistan. Thats 2 very poor efforts out of 3 in this WC. Could do with finding some good form soon.

Our bowling imo is too poor to get much further (Curran and Woakes esp), and the batting has been collapsing too often. Apart from that

underdogs week...Netherlands beat SA

SA-Eng shaping up to be another 1-sided contest..

That was dreadful with bat and ball.

They look utterly shot.

Buttler's captaincy decisions have been questionable- batting second has worked on different surfaces before, but this is different gravy, Then again, we don't have a good enough attack- Rashid's aura has gone, Curran has lost the plot and Woakes is just a very average overseas bowler. The batting is too inconsistent- suspect Root needs a rest, and he is the glue; YJB has decided its time for his habitual bad form run

Eng now lie 10th. in a table of 10 teams so the only way is up.
Failing that, it will be the status quo.
