As the final balls of the innings dribbled away in a flurry of mistimed shots, England’s frustration bubbled over. Shamshuddin had a poor game overall, denying England a couple of plumb lbws during when they bowled, and coach Trevor Bayliss and assistant coach Paul Farbrace both confronted him as he left the field. Captain Eoin Morgan continued the broadside in his post-match press conference.

“I felt like it wasn’t handled particularly well by the ECB. I know I was the lightning rod for it, every person thought it was my decision. I felt I bore the brunt of that, unfairly in my personal opinion.

“I felt a little bit let down by the ECB by that one period, where they kind of let me out to dry a little bit."
