Could've bad news form the Kiwis as they have England n dire need of a win followed by the Aussies so they could conceivably end up behind Aussies, India , England and Pakistan who have two soft games to finish.
 
Just a thought,did India let us win?
First 10 overs for about 30 runs!!
Last 6 overs not interested in taking any risks and finished only 31 runs short with 5 wkts left.
Very strange

Michael Vaughan suggested we could well meet them again in the semis
(if results go our way and we beat NZ first! <yikes> ).
Maybe India would prefer that to facing Aus or NZ?
 
So are we now praying for rain for Wednesday? No result vs New Zealand is probably the easiest passage into the semi-finals available to us.
 
England now need three wins to win. If they turn up and if they pick the right side there is no reason why they can't achieve this.

Tough call on selection tomorrow as Durham is supposed to be spin friendly but if Moeem comes in who do you drop? Woakes has been great and a useful bat Plunkett did really well when he came in and Wood and Jofra could blow the top order away.

Personally I'd stick with the same XI but I wouldn't be shocked to see Moeem in for one of the quicks
