Should get home from here, but a couple of quick wickets would make it really nervy. 

Woakes putting the upper order to shame.

Hes just playing Cricket shots & playing each ball on its merit, it'll never catch on.

They deserved that, but it always feels an anti-climax when England don't make a c**t of it from a winning position

Thought they were going to f**k it up again.

Ignoring the shite catching and wicket-keeping, they could easily be 3-0 up in this series if it wasn't for brainless bowling/batting.

Ultimately England will be delighted with the win, but they have played some dismal stuff in this match. They had loads of time to chase down 251, it should never have come down to Wood and Woakes to get them over the line.

Feel sorry for Woakes, he is an excellent cricketer who is unfortunate to have had the bulk of his career alongside Anderson and Broad, with Stokes making the all rounder role his own in the latter part.

Delighted for Woakes and Wood.  Two genuinely good all round cricketers and decent guys who have both had a raw deal over the years, especially Woakes.

Now time to get Foakes in and play some proper cricket instead of the abomination that is Bazball.

There is a series available for the winning if they have the brains to play the way they should.  Nothing wrong with attacking cricket but you have to take cognisance of the match situation, the opponents bowlers and the pitch conditions.
