Ah, the classic Pakistan shitfest. Excited to see Archer bowl some short stuff at them on Monday

They're being totally dismantled. Not going to be a long afternoon batting for WI

I was gonna the last thing you want to do at Trent Bridge is face England and Chris Gayle, luckily for them they get to do both in 72 hours. Ah.

It's going to be a shit week for them.

6 from Wahab though... the comeback is on!!

Lol - 17 off that over...

The comeback is off.

All out for 105.

Partisan crowd is giving it their all at the moment. Not sure it will be enough...

Let's hope Australia's pedestrian batting, resulting in a sub-2 NRR
against an acknowledged minnow, costs them later in the tournament.

it’s all just boring mismatches

You. Know. Nothing.

tbf it was a mismatch - SA didn't deserve to be on the same field as Bangladesh.

Scheduling does look odd. By the time India play their first match (against SA) it'll be SA's third match.

I guess it's just a quirk of having a game every day and giving each team enough time off between games to travel, rest and train.

Saffers being bullied here

Classic JP Duminy

Nice one Bangladesh.

Wood & Moeen: 6 overs for 20 runs!

the power of Nelson. 111/222
Twice now in this tournament

Pakistan 270/42 overs.
England could be chasing 350.
(Assuming no adverse weather and Engs typical blitz start we might win with 5 or 6 overs to spare).

Highest run chase in WC history needed...

I guess if anyone can do it, it's this lot.

With the changes to the balls, the Powerplays and the associated fielding restrictions,
and,
the inventive batting techniques,
I'm not certain there is any continuity between ODI World Cups.
Eng to win with overs to spare.

Good batting from Pakistan. Some sloppy fielding from England though.

Sitting in the park in West Bridgford, listening to the crowd noises while kids are playing in the playground. The cheers from Pakistan fans were properly loud!

schoolboy fielding. they are lucky to not be chasing 390/400.

come on pakistan.

!!!

We're not going to get anywhere near their total today...

Yup. Net run rate will be garbage too.

Well that's the end of that chase...

Noooooo

Oh.
