SA have lost two out of two now .

India up next.....

 

Good comeback by Pakistan after being blown away by the Windies on Friday. England will need a World Cup record runchase of 349 to win. If anyone can do it, England can.

Gulp.

 

Comes down to some good partnerships...and no runs out due to panicky decisions.

 

Senseless waste of a review by Roy, he was plumb, which Bairstow should have told him.

 

How many more times until Pakistan put a slip in?

 

Ssssshhhh!

 

Buttler doesn’t mind slips, he just bounces the ball off them!

 

50 for Jos off 34.

 

I see that we're a reasonable-ish distance behind DL.

Fortunately DL doesn't really appreciate that Jos Buttler exists.

 

No one is even to suggest England have any chance At this moment Fate has her feet up, filing her nails....so we have to be very quiet

 

Maybe a defeat is what we need AKA a kick up the arse ?

 

Nice collapse from Somerset.

 

Let's go with that.

 

Ton for Rooooooooooooooooooot.

 

Root gone. That might be the game.

 

Still got Moeen, Woakes, Archer and Rashid who can all bat. Game is right in the balance.

 

As I said before . A loss may just serve as a wake up call ...

 

Not sure they needed waking up, they are favourites for a very good reason. Whatever happens, our NRR won’t suffer too much after this game anyway!

 

We missed out on maximum batting points by just 6 runs!

 

Spinner seen off. Time to go, Moeen.
