Root and Bairstow quacked again. England didn't finish their allotted overs and set India 260 to win.

England lost by 5 wickets with 47 balls left.
Ben Stokes retires from white ball cricket to focus of Eng Test captaincy
England are supposed to be playing an ODI against SA after losing the first one the other night.
Start delayed so I suppose the heatwave is over.
Eng with an under par score given their start but....Eng get SA 6 for 4 in four overs and one of the most amazing keeper run outs i've seen by Buttler. Hope for him he's got his monkey off his back. Best start for Eng ever in ODIs.
I was worried that the radio silence meant England had lost… fortunately not. This time.
^Their new white-ball Coach is off to a good start and no, he's not a Kiwi.

Harriet really thinks he's a hardcore sportsman. He even stopped by the NHL hockey thread to shit on me. Yes Harriet, I know way more about hockey than you.
My efforts staying up watching the England Laydees and Arsenal playing in sunny Florida have taken their toll, and I dozed off with five overs left in England's innings.
I think I'll fire up the catchup and watch the jaapies being put to the sword.
I'm sure Stokes won't be concerned about their sudden massive improvement since he left.

Bairstow back in T20 with a 90 off 53 and a century stand with Ali who smashed 52 off 18 reaching 234- helped by some bad drops
Richard Gleeson, 34. on debut last game for 3 for 15 - you are never too old. Until 2016 he was paid on a game by game basis for his club. Interviewed last game he said he still can't believe he's got the nod of Eng in T20.
Topley this year on fire bowling, will he get an IPL call up but for me buy Gleeson he's fast c90 MPH and loads of variation - bowls full yorkers. Gleeson worked in a fishing tackle shop trying to still play semi prof cricket at 27.
Gleeson first over 91 MPH
bowling too short, go back to yorkers

England need 192 to win the T20 decider and series against the jaapies.
Super catch from Livingstone from the last ball.
