    England win the Twenty20 to make at 6-0 whitewash against the Aussies.

    Bring on India.

    Too true stroller, is the only twenty20 match against the Aussies? if so I bet they are glad there going home!

    Another England v India Twenty20 this evening. Couldn't they have scheduled these for days when there were no World Cup games?

    India 7-1 after two overs.

    36-3 after 7, India need a couple of big, quick scoring innings.

    It is a bit daft playing tonight. Brazil - Belgium could be the most attractive game of the World Cup so far.

    Norman Tebbit isn't going to be happy about all the India supporters at the game. I heard a caller on a radio show on Thursday talking about being at Old Trafford for the first game, which coincided with England v Colombia. They put the football on the big screen as soon as the cricket finished, just in time for everyone to see Colombia's equaliser. By the end, though, the India supporters were joining the England supporters in singing Football's Coming Home.

    Good finish - 12 needed off the last over.

    Twenty20 decider against India this afternoon, with Stokes back in, replacing Joe Root. This strengthens England, I think. Root really isn't suited by T20 cricket.

    Yep agree with that stroller, it’s not his natural game & has looked out of sorts, maybe 50 over but not 20.

    Great start by our openers but then fell away a bit. Fantastic catch just now by Chris Jordan.

    Yeah, it looked we might get 220-230 but kept losing wickets. Could be another close finish, but India are favourites at the moment.

    I can't see us winning this from this position. Was just about to say we need a good over here fro Willey and the Rohit smacks it for six four and now a six.

    Just watched the highlights of the first ODI.
    Good grief, England were poor.
    What a hammering!

    Another mystery spinner that no one can read. Still, they'll get a lot of practice this summer.

    England get 322 in the second one-dayer. Probably not enough.
