    Still over a 100 too much for NZ by the looks. 132-6 after 30.

    Why do they now play garbage music when somebody scores a boundary

    This run rate decider needs to change as it's a bit of a nonsense. If Bangladesh bat first then Pakistan is out of it whatever happens.

    It turned out to be an easy win, credit to England winning both of the crunch games. It just goes to show how the wicket changed midway through England innings. It really is strange how the team batting first seems to have a big advantage.

    Makes it essential to win the toss .. quite few games seem to have been decided at the toss as the pitches are slowing throughout the day. I agree re the net run rate though .. both India and Nz have played us and concentrated on protecting it rather then chase the target set .. not in the spirit of the game.

    Agree, but what is the alternative? A head to head could be a poor team going through based on one game they played exceptionally well. At least net run rate is balance for a whole tournament. I think India did that on Sunday solely to stop Pakistan qualifying, who have also historically beaten them in the big games and would possibly pose more risk of beating them as they would be more up for it??

    I think I would sooner play them than India, in the group match we were still smarting from the Sri Lanka defeat, but now we have our mojo back so I fancy us to turn the Aussies over.

    I hope you're right but we could easily lose our mojo again...

    Pity about the weather in Manchester, Thursday at Edgbaston doesn't look too good either.

    If it's a washout across both days then the highest place from the group stage goes through to the final - so we need to at least get a completed game in for England to go through
