**Official** Pakistan in England 2019

Indian batting is not equipped to score or chase down the kind of scores that we are seeing here. This World Cup could really be Pakistan's mauka.

I recall India chasing 320 in 40 overs versus West Indies last year. They have the greatest chaser in their ranks.

From cricinfo -"Pakistan is the first team in ODI history to score 340 or more in three consecutive innings."

England likely to be the second. No other team{s} have shown this consistency. Most of them rely on hail Mary innings from one or two guys to get their.

These chases aren't supposed to be this easy FFS.

England are ridiculous.

I was about to type 'If Vince doesn't score a ton for England here I don't think he ever will.'

So yeah.

Another flash start for England. You'd think that the mini-collapse the other day would remind people not to count their chickens on England's batting, but here the Beeb are anyway talking about whether it'll be 350 or 450. They've played eight overs, lol. And you just know these blowhards will be out here moaning about the approach when the batting does go pete tong once a season.

I think that the sub-plot for Vince was that a major innings or two in the 50 overs games would have put him in the frame for a top 3 place in the test team. Rightly or wrongly, but we're not exactly over-burdened with alternatives. Instead, it's another start. Shame, as clearly the lad can play.

Yeah I think that's spot on.

Hope to get some proper cake from Root and Morgan here before the icing resumes.

Yeah that's pretty much exactly what I wanted.

Maybe it was a bit more sugary than what I had in mind, but still cake. Sticky toffee pudding, perhaps.

I'm hungry.
