Wheels have come off a bit 191/5 from 35 overs...... lots of soft wickets given away........
 
Even softer one from Ali ! Awful shots from out of form and short of confidence players. As always seems the case, everything relies on Stokes ! Got to try and get near 300 but can't see it happening, this World Cup can't finish quickly enough for us.

Ben Stokes puts the wheels back on...... finally gone in final over for 108...... Netherlands set 340 to win.
 
Brilliant from Stokes and Woakes to get us up to 339 ! A cracking batting wicket on a smallish ground but you'd hope that would be enough. Of all players, Stokes deserves to be playing at the business end of a World Cup, shame the rest of the squad haven't turned up !
 
Root drops O'Dowd in 1st over off Woakes ! Buttler should really have been going for that. Alot of swing there for Woakes
 
Comprehensive win by 160 runs, up to 7th in table. All down to last game v Pakistan to qualify for the ICC Champions Trophy !
 
Semi final against South Africa is better than I would've thought when this started months ago. Not convinced we are consistent enough - particularly our middle order - but now it's a bit of a lottery and if you've bought a ticket I suppose you're a chance. Come on you Aussies...
