5.34pm Well, that was fun. Some hits and misses all down the order. Pooran was exceptional, and enough of his team-mates chipped in to get a total on the board. With the ball, Curran took the plaudits, but Rashid was outstanding once again, while Denly burgled some excellent overs with his legbreaks too. Jordan was left one over short of his quota, and this total will take some getting. Back shortly with Alan.
Pramod Kumar An: "The Reason Morgan choose to bowl out Curran is Jordan may be saving more runs by fielding than bowling." Good point well made. He is electric
Hugh: "Even if Archer impresses enough to feature at the World Cup, why would Plunkett be the one to make way? He's England's best seamer in T20Is. After Rashid, he's the most important man with the ball." I endorse this comment, while also worrying that time is creeping up on the old man. He made his debut in 2005!

Morgan and Curran have a conflab, with Jordan chipping in too
James: "Valid point that loyalty can be a good trait, but not blind loyalty and especially so if there are better options available." Well, there aren't yet... but Archer will be available come the World Cup and I've no doubt he will be in consideration
