Boult needs to bowl more yorkers, he hits them more often than not.
This!

Credit where it's due, this has been absolutely superb death bowling from Boult and Southee. Fast, full and straight. No length to get under, very little width to work with. As a batsmen there's fuck all you can do against that.

Really good win to get the season back on track. Sets up a cracker on Friday vs Aus - bring it on!

Has anyone seen Kieran Reid and Jos Buttler in the same room doing a post match interview ... ?

Pretty crucial win, with Oz already qualified for the finals. We also gained a bit of breathing space on England in terms of net run rate. At worst we'll finish level with England, so right now we've almost got three bites at the cherry as well as insurance against rain.
Really the batting that won that game - we got an above par score and then really needed all of those runs. For a long time England were looking likely.
A few cracks opened up under pressure - especially the fielding for a couple of overs, but also as Gunner pointed out - early on we were getting ahead of the count in most overs and then the English would hit a couple of late boundaries to peg things back.
Boult getting smacked for 20 off his 2nd over wasn't great viewing. Nor were those two dropped catches - but, the closing was very proficient once we got Malan.
