Wiping the floor with 'em. Overrated big shots Maxwell and Stoinis succumb to good bowling, as usual.
Stupendous.

Woakes & Jordan were sublime, not such a good day for Mills though

Is there anything better than seeing the Aussies getting absolutely slaughtered at the hands of England? I'm just going to watching replays of this game while the Ashes are on.

I'm trying to get excited about this competition and I am (mainly) following the results, but I seem to find an excuse to avoid watching any games. I'm not the biggest fan of T20 / Hundred, but I feel as though the almost back-to-back T20 Blast/Hundred/IPL etc. have made this seem just like another tournament. Unless England wins, I will struggle to remember anything about the competition in a year or so - and, that's not because I am getting senile. Are the T20 fans also finding it hard to engage fully or is it just me?
Now, where did I leave my damned keys?

I’ve watched all the England games, or had them on in the background, but they’ve been so one sided it’s all a bit boring. The half empty stadiums don’t help with the atmosphere either, it’s all a bit of a damp squib.

I agree the tournament has been a bit lacking but I think that's partially because most of the games involving the big teams have mostly been very one sided affairs, I've still watched pretty much every game though because I work from home and have a multiple monitor setup so I can easily watch and work at the same time. Same goes for the IPL, Hundred, home internationals etc. - if it's on I'll watch it, maybe less at the weekend unless it's a team I care about. You do have a point about it being just another tournament - it does feel a bit like the IPL, you're watching a lot of the the same players but across different teams.

I've only watched the England matches, and have been pleased by our complete domination - so far. I like T20 but I never watch the much-hyped IPL. I haven't watched any T20 since the Finals Day at Edgbaston, so I don't feel sated, and I'm looking forward to the rest of this tournament. I reckon NZ will be the team to beat - India might be suffering with post IPL fatigue?

It has been non stop cricket this year for the Indian players involved in the test matches as well - I think it was wise of Buttler, Bairstow and a few others to withdraw from the second half of the IPL. You know something's up when Liam Livingstone has taken more wickets in the tournament than the entire Indian team!

It’ll be interesting to see if England are quite so dominant if they lose the toss and bat first. 20 of the 28 games so far have been won by the team chasing.

Another master class from Buttler after a testing start. Was also expecting Morgan to get out after reaching 9 off 20 as he has done all too often recently but managed to see it through this time.

Another comfortable win. A shame Tymal has pulled up lame but he’s done well to last this long.
England 4 from 4 and a semi final place almost a certainty.

One of the toughest matches England has faced in recent times and they passed all the tests with flying colours. A great performance.
If England are to win the T20 tournament again, never has there been a better opportunity. A very impressive victory. And this without Stokes, Archer etc..
Who will replace Mills?
