Wasim: How does your most inexperienced bowler end up bowling the last over?

*1 ball later*

Wasim: Hasan has been the pick of the bowlers today

Just realised this game was on when BBC Breaking News app told me they've hit the highest score in ODI history :lol:

We're not winning this.

6 of England's 10 highest all-time ODI scores have come post-2015. Really remarkable how they've turned it around in ODIs since Bayliss took over. Much more entertaining to watch also.

Actually started before he took over. He wasn't in charge for the series against New Zealand where we set half these totals.

This ODI series (and countless others before) really shows what a gulf in class there is between Pakistan and top teams in the limited overs format.

Fantastic performance from England though. I was expecting them to hammer 350 at least once if they batted first in this series but 444 is just something else.

Why do Pakistan have so many plodders? Just one Ian bell pissed me the feck off, I can't imagine trying to back this team.

We are dreadful. The ODI side needs a massive kick up the ass. The tactics do not suit the modern game.

England need 248 to win, Good late batting from Imad Wasim. He should bat higher up as England have no clue how to get him out

I've faced someone that's 6'6 (Paul Walter played couple games for Essex this season) and that's pretty daunting. Imagine 7 foot fecking 1!
