Fantastic knock from Moeen. Third fastest ODI century by an Englishman. He and Bopara looked different class to the rest of the English batsman.

The game did nothing to alleviate my concerns about our bowling attack. 17 wides is unacceptable. Stokes was poor in line and length. Gurney not much better and really don't think he is good enough to be in the squad.

whaddabout the batting attack and your concern : Hales vs. Moeen 

I'd still like to see Hales in the team. In my perfect world, Hales and Moeen would open and Cooky would be sent to back Neverland. Morgan really needs to find some form, too.

Dilshan was fined 25% of his match fee for excessive appealing in the first ODI. Thisara Perera was docked 20% for directing aggressive words at Joe Root following his departure.
