    Out now though. Difficult to know if it's a good or bad thing.

    They need a really good last 10 overs here. They're about 20 runs behind, and about one wicket behind, of where I'm sure they'd rather be. Getting 260 from here might be beyond them.

    Apparently Morgan has given the nod that Roy starts tomorrow.

    It's some sort of score, I guess. Probably about 40 to 50 light, but who knows. There's a little bit of turn there, so Mujeeb might pick up some early ones to create some pressure on Pakistan.

    I did say not to expect them to get above 230.

    NZ doing at Lords what we should have been doing.

    Aus lower order saved them when they were 5 down early vs WI. Carey has arguably been the best keeper with the bat in the competition.

    It happened to me years ago playing cricket at my school. A swarm came over the field and we just all lay down on the ground. The Head was umpiring another game on another pitch looked on rather bemused.

    Twice now that Afghanistan have been left to regret an incorrect umpire call (and regret their own use of a poor review).

    If Pakistan have any sense, they should realise that Rashid and Mujeeb can only bowl 6 of the last 11 overs. So that's 5 other overs which they can look to take down.

    This is where Pakistan will miss Hassan Ali. Like us without Plunkett, they have a longer tail without him.
