Bob Willis described England's 31-run win over India that keeps their Cricket World Cup hopes alive as "perfection".
England posted 337-7 from their 50 overs after winning the toss and batting first, with Jonny Bairstow (111) scoring a maiden World Cup ton and Jason Roy (66 off 57) helping get the team off to a flier. They then restricted India to 306-5 in reply, to earn a crucial win.
Joining Charles Colvile and Bob on the latest World Cup Debate, Brendon McCullum says Roy "should 100 per cent be picked for Test cricket" for England later this summer. McCullum also hailed India's Jasprit Bumrah as "the best bowler in the world across all three formats".
