Interesting to see the Aussies wearing a kit that wouldn’t look out of place on our guys at FCR next season!

Aussie normally wear a more gold than yellow shirt like our shirts in 03/04 and the green is much darker. Am I being picky?

Certainly Aussie kits are meant to be ‘green and gold’ but looks more canary yellow from that pic. All the kits seem to be tinges of retro this year, following our lead 😉

I see Mark Wood has gone off injured, which is a real worry.

On the up side, though, Paul Collingwood has come on as sub fielder! 😂😂😂

You can replace anyone because of injury at any point in the tournament, but the injured player can't then return later in the tournament. So it is like a permanent replacement.

Ok - so Willey (will feel a bit messed about with but) will presumably come back in.  As a Kent supporter I’m annoyed my side has no one in, but happy for Denly to get some form for the Ashes playing for his County

From the photos I have seen it is definitely more City colours than Australian. Good on em.

Excellent performance and what a catch by Stokes as well.

Felt like we could have scored a few more runs but the depth in our batting order is incredible.

How the hell do you get injured standing around in a field and not moving?

Joffra Archer, a decent knock in the few balls he faced, then followed up with some excellent bowling

a voice shouted through the commentary window as England were all out " is that enough"

quite easily enough

It’s Jofra! 

The unexpected beneficiary of England changing the residency rules!

By-the-by, I have a retro shirt that shows the bird on the club badge sitting on a twig.  When did that become a football (as is the current vogue)?

1973 I believe.  As a result of an EDP competition.  Always on a twig before.

Hadnt really sparked to life yet, sadly - you don’t necessarily want scores of 400+ each game but nor do we want matches over almost before they’ve started!

Had my work planned, radio fully charged and thought I'd get a good days cricket and it was all over by 2pm. (Technically by lunch, just had to get through the formalities)

I thought England had blown this with a lacklustre morning in the field, but they are batting well enough now to make for an exciting finish.

Buttler is out

England need 38 off 3 overs, with 4 wickets in hand...probably not going to get over the line, this time

Just getting some traction and then 2 gone. Valiant effort from England but too much needed.
