Against SL we need c.110 off 20 overs with 7 wickets left, so we've had an end collapse as well as a beginning collapse, but we haven't had a proper, old skool, English collapsofück yet.

Stokes scored 80s in both games. {And that bodes well for the Ashes, I accept.}

If you had a choice, would you bat first or chase? I just wonder if we're more likely to collapse while chasing or if this would be offset by the fact that our bowlers could restrict the Kiwis and reduce scoreboard pressure.
Without wishing to put the mockers on us, we do have one hell of a batting line up at our disposal.
