Cook replaced by Morgan as ODI capt. Can see the headline now: 'Morgan axed after shock loss to Scotland'

At least we have a good 4 and a bit years to prepare for a World Cup

And that's the end of that. Tredders nearly gets Eng over the line but falls just 90 runs short. Think it's fair to say Eng were outplayed

Jayawardena is given a bowl. SL think they've won this already. Tredders has other ideas.

Tredders thinks he can do this on his own. Smashes a 4 and a 6. This is not over yet!
Jordan gets in a complete tangle first ball and is struck in front. Nearly done

Root trudges off for 80. Another good knock from the Yorkie. Shame no one else could bat with him. 192-8. 9.4 overs left

Root struck on the pad reverse sweeping and the finger goes up. Looks pretty stonewall but given the situation Root has reviewed.
Well they were hanging on by a thread but now Woakes is bowled for 34. 192-7. Root may as well swing from the hips now
Woakes looks pretty handy with the bat. That push him in front of Jordan/Gurney/Finn in the pecking order? 180-6 off 38

Required RR edging closer and closer to 10. Just delaying the inevitable now. 163-6 off 35.

Root in the runs again then. Along with our use of the DRS about the only positive to come out of this tour

50 for Root and the very next ball Buttler hits it straight down deep extra cover's throat. Almost as if they don't want to win. 126-6
100 up for England off 24.1. Long long way to go still
ROOOOOT to the rescue? Eng's future needs to do something special to save another embarrassing loss. We've seen Butler do it before (nearly)
The 3 red strikes means Morgan is on his way. His poor form continues and he goes for 4. 78-5. Just woeful

Morgan goes for the paddle sweep but raps him on the pads. Umpire says not out but SL review... looks ominous
