Good win to be fair really!

[RichC]

excellent bowling figures from Tredwell, 4-44 from 10 overs.

I'm not the world's biggest fan of the shorter forms but I love beating India in India in any form

Same. Can take or leave ODI's generally but this is a very big win.

Cook is such a slow cricketer. I can see the pace being picked up now.

Edit: Why has there never been loads of 'Slow Cooker' based puns in the papers or on this thread. Dissapointing.

He's not slow though

Has a strike rate in the 90's.

I don't really watch much 50 over stuff. He has always just stuck me as a slower run maker. Looking it up its 79. So actually in the 70s

In the last match he scored 75 off 83 balls which is a strike rate of 90.4 and is typical of his one day batting in recent years since taking over the captaincy.

I should have learned by now not to doubt Bell. Stick a criticism/obstacle in front of him and he'll overcome it and prove you wrong.

Great start today.

India won the toss and decided to bat. Currently 83-3

[Alex]

India 285-6 and we are 13-1 in reply so far. 3 overs gone.

Think this'll be close again.

Kp starting to step up a little now

32 runs from 25

58 for 1 - 10 overs

[PTP]

cook gone - 62-2

Root (who?) in, got 4 from his first 5 balls.

[PTP]

KP gone for 42 - 73-3

England in a bit of bother now - and the drinks 'boat' has just drove on

yes, boat! - brilliant an old style boat with sprite on the side and wheels has just been driven on the pitch with refreshments

[PTP]

**** - morgan gone for a duck

England ****ed now

[Pedenj]

All over here now.

Got to say Root shows no signs of being new to the International scene.

[PTP]

yeah not a bad start - but with cook, kp and morgan all out this is game over
