England been gifted 3 wickets here but not looked like getting Gayle out and gifted far too many runs (and wides). Definite lack of proper bowlers in this side sadly

Dreadful bowling.

This is going well. Chris Gayle incredibly difficult to stop when he gets going!

far too easy for Gayle, hugely impressive ton nonetheless

People are saying 182 is a decent total but Mohammad Hafeez and Gayle have shown the importance of one of the top 3 making big runs. Too many of England's batsmen got okay scores but one of the top 3 needs to pass 50. England needed to post 200. So whilst the bowling wasnt great i also dont agree that the batsmen should get off without any criticism. Wickets are king in T20 and always having batsmen come in and start again stunts a team's progress. Much easier tom bat around a player who is well set.

was definitely a feeling that they left the charge too late with the bat for me, so many wickets in hand but didnt launch until the last 2 or 3. running between the wickets was also dire, several times they didnt take 2 when shouldve and 2 WI throws at stumps missed which wouldve been out if direct hits
if they insist on picking Willey Id like to see him open and be told to go hard from ball one and not stop. No real loss if he goes earlier cheap but could give the inns much needed momentum rather than being wasted down at 10
that said, the bowling at times was horrible
Terrible performance. Only an average score and no idea in the bowling department. Can't see it getting any better against South Africa on Friday

Pleased Afghanistan gave a good account of themselves today. Some properly lusty hitting during their innings too!

really fancied they may cause an upset today against what is really quite a poor SL side
Has to be good for their progress. Great to see these sides moving on

One of the Cricinfo guys has written a book called Cricket in the Outposts which is about countries like Afghanistan and Ireland and their attempts to progress. Have had my eye on a copy for a while as it looks like it could be a cracking read.

Looking like a close finish in the NZ-AUS game. Aussies need 43 off of 29 balls with 5 wickets remaining.
C'mon the Kiwis!

Love to see the Aussies choking!
Got a feeling the Kiwi bowlers will see it through

hard to call it choking on yet another hideously slow pitch. theyre very dependant on a few with the bat, Marsh looks like bailing them out now though
