Looks like Wood and Archer will be phased in to replace Anderson and Broad (which is nice). Horrible way for Williamson to get out, but them's the breaks. Odd decision not to review on the first wicket. England unlikely to lose from here, so Semi-Finals here we come.

That’s a fine win. Really was quite worried that we wouldn’t manage to win both games but have done it in style.

Semi-final at Edgbaston next Thursday v Australia or India. Woo.

I think the key to this World Cup is me not watching...

(At least the second innings)

I like to think I did my bit to help us qualify.

I turned on the radio this morning after some meetings and the first thing I heard was Bairstow's wicket.

We did it!

Never in doubt.

Looking forward to getting rinsed by Australia in the semis.

I think all scenarios will point to playing India; regardless I'm glad we're at Edgbaston rather than Old Trafford

Probably playing India as Australia are playing South Africa in their final game and I can't see them losing that, so they will finish top. If so, they will play New Zealand and England play India.

JJ is the man. At Headingly with my old man

#rep for @jj72 ^

Great stuff. You got to see Gayle's last ever world cup innings! Not a very impressive one unfortunately. Beautiful day for it though

Was a really close game but Gayle has been bowling very economically and has just taken 2 wickets in this over (1lbw, 1 run out)

Wondering how Afghanistan will inevitably chuck the possible win away today, sounds like it's the beginning now ^.

Najibullah has run himself out. He was coming back for a second but didn't slide the bat

ffs.

Cricket has given me WORM fever on Strava

I'm just about ahead of the run rate

Pakistan won the toss and are batting, they need to beat Bangladesh by about 310 or so runs.

This should be an interesting game (for the first few overs at least).

Sky will show the final on FTA if England get there. How about that eh?

If England beat India, my Indian mate will give me his final tickets. How about that, eh?

dream run for the aussoes (if they can get past the kiwis)

Tall order for the Pak bowling attack.
Lacklustre Pak batting performance means they need to bowl out Bangladesh for 8* or fewer!

Edited: TMS now saying '7'.

Seems like Australia want to play us at Edgbaston, fair play

Sounds like Khawaja damaged and Stoinis looking creaky too?
