Jordan gets beaten up in IPL but looks good in international 

He actually improved a lot last year. Even had a decent last IPL but again lost form this year. Happens. Very good cricketer. Can bat, bowl and field well.

Harshal is a better hitter than Axar. The TM is hell bent on making something out of Axar. He will leak plenty of runs today also. A huge misfit.

And Chahal will be smashed here and Bhuvi also 

Both are likely to do well with a total to defend.  Let's see.

In IPL, pitches generally dont have much bounce. Here, you can get away with short deliveries especially against SC teams.

Why is malnourished axar sent ahead of DK?

[zen]

Just started following this game - Axar over DK?

[Sgattick10]

I remember Pak making 210-220 nd Eng chasing them down easily

Power hitter Axar double taps a ball for 4 with a huge hoick  

[daryl1985]

Axar needs to retire out.

[Sgattick10]

Abbe Hardik hit 

[adi B]

England want to chase big ,don't they ? Maybe test themselves 

[raki05]

Pandya really got tired....unable to hit this halwa bowler.

[sandeep]

89 mph for jordan?  If accurate that's handy.  

[adi B]

Good riddance, now time for DK to set loose

I am assuming you have never seen Chris Jordan who has been on the international circuit for nearly 10 years bowl before?

DK is held back to bat in the last 4 and 5 - because he's way better against pace than spin.  Harshal should have been sent ahead of Axar though....

[Need4Speed]

the pitch looks fast..only if we had Umran..wud hv been interesting

And also pak has a superior bowling attack in t20s

A bit too late but this Axar experiment has to stop, costing us at least 10 runs per innings.
