But similarly, lose and we're out. Had WI sufficiently damaged SA's NRR today, then we might have still been able to squeeze through with a defeat tomorrow. But not now.

SA-SL could yet be a totally meaningless game, or a de facto QF game.

I do think we will beat Sri Lanka though. They're not a great side since Sangakkara and Jayawardene retired.
 
Damm, lost the toss and batting first.

Effectively a QF game for us, and effectively a last 16 game for SL.
 
Although it's stopping us from potentially getting off to a flyer, the benefit to us of SL bowling all this spin now, is that they won't have as much spin to bog us down with in the middle overs - unless a part-timer like Dilshin gets 3 or 4 overs.
 
Should be aiming for 170 from here. And yes Bumble/Nick, I'd be promoting Buttler to come in next.
 
Right, Herath is done now. Five overs, seven wickets (all of whom can bat!), left. Got to go.
