England are certainly getting lucky with the tosses. Got to make the most of winning it though.

Good start!

Wouldn’t personally have Robinson bowling his pies first up, mind you

Wood is sending down thunderbolts to the Aussies! He's reached 95mph!

 

[tomw24]

Make that 96!

The Netherlands need 278 against Scotland for a place in the World cup final.

Come on Scotland!

 

[StJabbo1]

Come on Scotland!

5.56 run rate is both gettable and defendable. Could be a close finish.

 

[st_brendy]

I'd back Scotland to qualify, given that Holland need to chase this within 44 to 45 overs. But Holland are nevertheless still very much in it.

The fixture list has worked out brilliantly to leave this as a straight shoot-out for the final WC place.

 

[st_brendy]

That was coming

 

[tomw24]

Bowled him!

 

[tomw24]

What a spell of fast bowling.

 

[Schad]

One more early one and the Australian order will be under a tremendous amount of pressure.

The nostalgia of sticking with Anderson for the first two tests looks a bit dodgy now...

Wood wasn't fit anyway.

Another drop from Bairstow. Tough chance, but a top keeper takes those.

If only we had a top keeper… oh…

 

[tomw24]

TBF, Bairstow has been a pretty big liability in this series so far.

 

[st_brendy]

He's back

It's not Smith, but it'll do.
