Finished on 210/2.......brutal hitting by India....... Hope Afghanistan give them a run for their money so that their net run rate doesn't improve too much.........
India win by 66 runs.......probably not as many as they were hoping for....... could be detrimental to their Net Run Rate
It's irrelevant as Pakistan have qualified and New Zealand have only lost once. If New Zealand don't lose again then India can't qualify ! Good
It's almost nailed on to be England v New Zealand and Pakistan v Australia Semi's. South Africa could shake up the apple cart but hopefully we'll dismantle them on Saturday and finish them off
India have kept their slim chance of qualifying alive by bowling Scotland out for 85. They need to knock these off in double-quick time to get their net run rate up and then hope that Afghanistan beat NZ. I'd be happier with England facing NZ in the semi than India.
SA on their way to a very big score against England. Currently 169-2 with 9 balls left. England haven't bowled well and some of their ground fielding has been village green stuff. Good to get a game in like this now if you're England.
Very poor display bowling and in the field from England, almost like their minds are already on tge Semi's. Wood very rusty but clueless at times too. Gonna take some savage batting to chase this down
Ffs that's Roy out the rest of the tournament, huge blow. Bollox. Ali in now and would think either him or Bairstow will move up to partner Buttler. Buttler continues his imperious form
Bairstow? England on target to get 87 to ensure they're in the semis. 131 will guarantee top spot and eliminate SA. Buttler gone. 59-1 (effectively for 2).
The bowling let us down today but concentrate on the Semi's now. Roy gonna be a massive loss and need to decide who will come in as a batter to replace him. Bairstow or Ali up the order to open in his place. Wood booked far too shirt and looked rusty so decision to be made on the bowling front too. 2 games to win to be World Champions in both white ball formats ! Come on
