Further chants referencing the First and Second World Wars were heard on national television, leading several Twitter users to denounce the songs....

The top order Indian batsmen are, barring Chateshwar Pujara, naturally attacking players. As much as the top class bowing of the English seamers, it is the hesitation shown by these batsmen to score singles when they can, that resulted in them being dominated by the English bowlers at Lord’s. The team management, with the limited resources on hand, now have their task cut out to try and win the next match at Trent Bridge....

Eoin Morgan’s side have made a purposeful start to the tournament on home soil and demonstrated why they top the ICC ODI rankings in Friday’s eight-wicket thrashing of West Indies.
