    Frank Duckworth of Duckworth Lewis fame has died.
    R.I.P <rose>
    He was 84, but after adjustments for a rain delay was 67.

    The Leicestershire no 8 scored 243 off 127 balls (including said destruction of Robinson). 21 sixes!! They narrowly lost chasing a massive target.
    Incredible

    South Africa V Afghanistan, pitch ruined the game , you would have more consistency if bowling on a sheet of corrugated tin

    Disappointing - especially for a S-F.
    The organisers have some explaining to do - scheduled the tournament when they should have known there was likely to be rain around, many games played on substandard pitches (particularly the drop-in pitch in New York) and teams and fans shunted around a large geographical area, making it difficult to plan ahead.

    Difficult to plan ahead, unless you are India who apparently always knew they were going to play in Guyana if they got to the semi final (I am advised, need to confirm by other sources).

    And in commemoration to Frank Duckworth, the amended Duckworth-Lewis method is being applied to the current India/England game. Basically if the game doesn't complete then India win.

    He’s often a liability

    Rashid pulls it back by conceding only 3 next over and bowls Rohit

    Wickets now but England facing 160+ on a track that's now stopping and turning sideways!

    It will be a miracle if they pull this off.

    It will be tough on this pitch. 170 looks likely now

    Kuldeep, Axar and Jadeja will be hard to score off.
    And there’s Bumrah!
    Oh dear
    The bookies have India 4/11, England 21/10 - they’re not usually wrong

    Why did Buttler do that first ball from Axar Patel?

    Unless Brook can do a de Villiers impression (which he has done on the odd occasion, to be fair), England are out
