Anyway, I read today that England became only the 2nd side to win the T20 WC twice, after the Windies, and the 1st to be ODI and T20 world champions at the same time.

I didn't think Sky covered it well. They barely seemed to care. On the coverage, it was all a bit of an anti-climax. It was briefly on Sky Sport's News, then they talked about World Cup football selection - as if it matters.

I've never watched Sky, but I assume that's heavy on the ad breaks too. Come to that, I've never watched a T20 match before; I'm clearly just a glory-hunter, but you knew that from my football allegiance

I know it's a very flat pitch but this is quite an incredible batting display by England. It really is. And we still have Stokes and Livingstone to join the party.

After Stokes’ generous declaration I suspect England may have to contemplate defeat after posting 650+ runs in their first innings before lunch on the second day! This wicket did not deserve a game of this magnitude. Whatever the result Stokes should be applauded. Some of his tactics and field placings are off the scale. If test cricket needed a saviour he is it. Disagree on that. Test cricket isn't saved by treating it in that fashion, unless you think that losing matches overseas increases attendences.....well, it will for them. On that pitch that declaration was reckless, even if we win that's still the case.
