Excellent timing Nando!

Another for Woakes.

Could do with rolling the tail up for net run rate purposes.

With not having a clue how NRR works I’m pretty sure that win will help, pretty it’s averaged over the 9 games because NZ went down even though they’ve won both.

We're back into positive territory now (above Bangladesh for a start), basically rubbed out the damage from last Thursday.

Record World Cup chase for Pakistan.

Sri Lanka have conceded 773 in two games.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but the pitch India are playing Rashid Khan on today doesn't appear to be turning square

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Total coincidence without doubt. Honest.

 

[Sniffer]

Mixed feelings about todays game. I always want the Aussies to lose, but if it came to it, I think I'd sooner be playing them in a knockout game than the South Africans.
I'll still have to hope for an Aussie defeat and the Saffers to lose each game afterwards.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Carey and Green dropped, almost as if picking players in a 15 man squad who have been in absolutely stinking form for months is a stupid idea.

 

[Tony Towner]

At the moment I look at as what's the best pathway for England to qualify, there's only 6 teams who can realistically make the semis, so having one of those 0 from 2 would be the best for that

 

[Sniffer]

If I was an Aussie I'd have wanted Bavuma to stay in.

 

[Sniffer]

Only listening to the TMS commentary but unless the pitch is a bit difficult, and its not really been mentioned, I think that the Aussies will be happy chasing this total. If the dew comes down then the chase shouldn't be too difficult.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

27/2 after 7. Aus are pretty rubbish tbh

 

[Sniffer]

Aussie commentators suggesting that they have reviewed the wrong ball.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

65/5.

Hopefully they lose on Monday to Sri Lanka and have a proper 90s England of a tournament.

 

[Sniffer]

I think that the Aussies will be happy chasing this total. If the dew comes down then the chase shouldn't be too difficult.

Ageing well!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

70/6.

SA do look a decent outfit but this such a mess from Aus, probably not going to make 400 across their first two games in a tournament where it's been raining centuries.

 

[Sniffer]

Glove not on the bat handle when it hits the glove?
