Cracking innings from Neesham to get them close to 240 from 80/5, given them a chance if Boult and Co get it right with the new ball

Great chase from Pakistan considering how the pitch has played, not sure England will be looking forward to playing at Edgbaston against India on Sunday if it spins half as much as this one has. Babar fast becoming one of the best batters to watch when he gets in, cover drive to die for. Kiwis be kicking themselves they didnt pick Ish Sodhi for Matt Henry though.
Rumours from the England camp that Roy will play after a fitness test on the morning unless he gets worse in the meantime.

Pakistan thoroughly deserved that win and its simply heaped more pressure on England to win on Sunday. Not liking the look of how much the pitch turned and our spinners compared to the Indians

Babar Azam is pure class. Been so impressed with him everytime I've seen him bat. 2nd fastest to reach 3000 runs in ODis and proved yesterday he can do it under pressure. He's a proper talent.
Also, this is pretty cool:

I normally pass on cricket as we never played it as kids but I watched NZ v Pakistan yesterday from when Pakistan were batting at around 60 runs. Got quite into it following the run chase. Was rooting for Pakistan too, not sure why. My impression was those 2 batters (batsmen?) knew exactly how to manage their play to get past the NZ total, very controlled, attacking when they could and defending too, grabbing all the singles, nothing silly - quite impressive under the pressure of overs running out and their team needing a win on what they said was a tough wicket to bat on.
The 50 overs one day games are certainly a better format for us non cricketing types with just a general sporting interest.

The Windies getting the tight DRS calls today, for sure.
India will want it banned then!

I see Marcus Trescothick has finally decided to call time on his playing career at the end of the season, and every chance he goes out winning the county championship.
Very few cricketers I respect more than him, utter quality player and has managed an amazing career despite his well publicised issues. Classy on the field, even more classy off it and will be missed, albeit he will still be involved in the game.
Cheers for the memories Tresco (and sorry if Essex spoil the CC party)

Words don’t do that man enough justice imo
One of my hero’s for both what he did on the pitch and also even more importantly what he has done off it

Yep, not a fan of the word legend as it gets massively overused this day and age but definitely applies in this case

Actually wouldn’t mind a Sri Lanka win here to make the chase for the top 4 interesting (and hopefully scupper England’s chances)

So the betting meter says India will lose to Eng on Sunday to ensure Pak does not get into the semis... makes good television
Either way, I think India will rest/test a few things on Sunday. Drop Shankar for Pant ... Archer would be on fire .. can’t wait for Sunday

Not sure which betting meter? India still favs on pretty much every platform if only marginally, hear rumours like this far far too often
As for Shankar batting at 4, it has to end sooner rather than later. Actually think Karthik a better player but can see why they would pick Pant based on the rate a lot of the others are batting at. Be very very surprised if India rest any of their main players, expect the Bangladesh/SL games will be the time for that if any

Sounds like Archer is an injury doubt with a side strain too. Chance England go into this game with 2 or 3 carrying injuries which is never ideal

Shame to see videos appearing on social media of fighting outside before the Pakistan and Afghanistan match today
