Commentator: Nikhil Kalro
9.15pm A result that never looked in much doubt after England's opening stand. Yes, they did have their struggles against spin but there were a lot more positives than their spin worries. You'd want to bowl second to this England batting line-up and choke them, but with dew a plausibility, who knows? Chants of "Dhoni, Dhoni," ring around the Brabourne Stadium. A fantastic warm-up game for both sides, proper insights into both teams.
Sam Billings: A great run against a very strong side. Everyone chipped in today. Sign of things to come. We've come in with a fresh mind, a different group. Only a couple of guys from the Tests, a lot of fresh minds. The IPL massively helped me out, playing wristspin and spin generally. Once you get comfortable, you can express yourself.
Mark: "@Jonas, it did occur to me that if the selectors don't yet want to ask Joe Root to play in all 3 formats AND captain the Test side, they could just ask Jos Buttler to do the job for a year."
