The wheels come off for England batting

In the first ODI, England chased down a record total of 360 to gain an early lead. It was a different story here with England losing their last six wickets for 35 runs chasing 290 for victory and falling short of the stipulated target.

England needed 62 runs off 61 balls at the end of the 40th over before Jason Holder decided to step in. A decent effort from Joe Root, Eoin Morgan, Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler had almost make a win for England a cake walk but Holder struck twice in two balls sending Jos Buttler and Tom Curran back to pavilion in two successive deliveries. Following that, Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid added 27 runs to the board but Sheldon Cottrell claimed his first five-for in ODIs to snatch the victory from the visitors.

We failed to nail it on the top: Eoin Morgan

“You really need to nail it on the top in international cricket. We failed to do that today,” said skipper Eoin Morgan expressing his disappointment with the lack of substantial partnerships in their innings.

we try to keep our best foot forward: Hetmyer

“We are taking one step at a time. We are a on a rise as a team and we look forward to putting a collective team effort which would help us win games in the future as well.”
