CWC 19 England v Afghanistan

[Gary Baldi]

Utterly Savage from Morgan. Just brutal, deflating hitting

 

[Foley]

Carnage.
Unbelievable innings from Morgan.
Looks like 370 plus.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

323 and still five overs left. My 350 is going to be a woeful underestimation.

 

[Sarge]

batting masterclass from Morgan! ...4 overs left .... 340-2

 

[Gary Baldi]

To think some England fans were complaining that England were batting too slow and wouldn't make a challenging total.

Root out.

 

[Sarge]

Morgan has equalled the current odi record for number of sixes hit (15)

new odi record for number of sixes hit on the cards?

 

[Gary Baldi]

Out for 148. What. An. Innings.

Take a bow Eoin Morgan

 

[Sarge]

Root gone for 88 ... Buttler the new batsman

Morgan on strike .....and gone for 148 ... after setting a new odi record for number of sixes in an innings (17)

 

[Foley]

17 sixes and just 4 fours.
Extraordinary innings.

 

[makv]

Stunning

 

[ZeroTheHero]

You get Root and Morgan out - and Buttler and Stokes turn up. Doesn't seem fair!

lets see what they can do , with 18 balls to go

 

[Sarge]

Blimey! Buttler gone for 2!

362 -5

400 unlikely now ...i suppose?

 

[Sarge]

Stokes gone for 2!

378-6 .... 5 balls to face

 

[Sarge]

another odi record in this match ...probably unwelcome - Khan equalled the worst ever odi bowling figures

Khan 0- 110 in 9 overs
maybe his teammates will call him Khan't?

 

[Foley]

Moeen is doing a Morgan.
30 in 8 balls

 

[Foley]

397.
Wow

 

[Sarge]

400 unlikely now ...i suppose?

^ close that was.... 397

30 of 8 balls for Ali

 

[makv]

Root/Morgan stand - 189. Root - 43 [emoji50]

 

[Leysboy]

Great exhibition of brutal batting from Eoin Morgan, a brilliant innings. Ultra aggressive, and not often you see Joe Root play second fiddle.

A partnership of 189, and also shows how good Bangladesh were yesterday, because I believe Shakib AL Hasan and Litton Das also had 189 partnership yesterday.

Afghanistan will get nowhere near that score, and will be lucky to get 150. You have to be brutal against the lesser sides, because RR plays a part in the final standings if level on points.
