Made bloody hard going of that chase! Wouldn't have been half so bad if so many players hadn't got out to daft wafts of the bat against harmless balls; I get that Duckett never leaves, but that doesn't mean the rest of them have to play silly buggers. But a good showing from Brook at a crucial stage (should have stuck around and finished the job too, but I suppose all's well that ends well), that might be the best I've seen Woakes play with the bat, and Woody has to be first name on the team sheet for Old Trafford.

Hope that gives us some momentum and puts the cat among the budgerigars in the away dressing room. They may be world champions, but they were only two up because we self-destructed in close matches at Edgbaston and Lord's, and 3-2 remains do-able if we get (and keep) our act together.
