[Tredman]

Should be doable, good start at least.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Run rate seems well under control just for now but many a slip.

I must comment about the time of day. It's nearly midnight in St Lucia and the game is only 75% done. The timings are no benefit to teh local community, and fuck all use to those wishing to watch the game in England.

Perfect timings to watch it in India. Strange that, eh, BCCI?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Quite a brisk knock from Bairstow.

 

[Squeak]

40 from 30 needed with 8 wickets in hand. Excellent from Bairstow. Just what England needed.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Salt going bananas and this is now going to be an absolute coast. A mere thirty off the over

 

[Squeak]

What an over from Salt.... 4, 6, 4, 6, 6, 4 ... 30 off the over.... just 10 needed from 24 now!
Looks like a tennis match.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Great chase. Easy win, and hopefully well on the way to a semi-final berth now.

 

[Squeak]

Superb from Salt and Bairstow to steer England to victory with ease in 17.3 overs.... 8 wicket victory with plenty to spare. Worth staying up!

 

[Tredman]

Well that was easy.

 

[Tony Towner]

Sadly Syd Lawrence has MND

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Shit. Poor bugger.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Won the toss vs SA and bowling first. Unchanged

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

QdK battering Jofra after a quiet start, he read everything he tried in that over.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Curran is such popgun crap, stealing a living.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Iffy third umpire work saving QdK, Wood was a bit lazy going for a catch in the deep but I am 99.99% certain that didn't hit the ground, then we get the stupidity of looking at angles where you know full well the image is foreshortened and it reprieves him.

Hendricks out for a rubbish 19 off 25, could have done with him staying in. Mo with the wicket

86/1 off 9.5 overs

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Superb catch by Buttler and QdK is gone now.

92/2 after 11.5 overs

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Lazy, lazy running and Klaasen run out (superb work by Buttler)

103/3 off 13.4 overs

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Markram gone to Rashid for 1

113/4 off 14.4 overs

 

[Johnny75]

There's nobody there.

Music in an empty stadium just sounds odd

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

10.30am start over there, it's not great (ICC gonna ICC)

Excellent catch by Brook gets rid of Miller in the final over. 155/5 with 5 balls to go
