Shouldn't have had to dug in though. Another disappointing display and as I said before you never know which side will turn up. No consistency in their level of performance

Anyone see that shot by Steve Smith earlier? Virtually off the pitch on the offside and still flayed it over the leg side boundary! Would have been interesting if Wahab had bowled at the stumps though.
Meanwhile, the Windies have SA in real trouble at 98/6 in the 17th.

hideous bowling, so often you see bowlers follow the batsman should actually go the other way slightly, umps rarely wide when batter moves so much
Saffers been awful but 130+ could be defendable if they get Gayle early, yet another awful Nagpur deck

Took off from Heathrow when it was 9 degrees, got off at Mumbai mid morning at 30 degrees c. Was speaking to a friend 're the empty seats and his view was that it is baking in the afternoon, so not many people venture out to the stadiums. Nagpur had a few afternoon games and temp is late 30s if not early 40s. Night games faring better. Trying to wranggle a ticket for the first Semi in Mumbai next week..

Great last two overs from the Windies to concede just 8 runs. An SA defeat would be a great result for England.

lol, seen many an afternoon game with full houses and will again in the IPL next month, complete red herring as to why the grounds are half empty for most games!

Indeed. Although Andre Fletcher did rather well deputising for Gayle the other day.

Windies win so England have the semi spot in their own hands now.
Hope the England v SA side comes out to play tomorrow and not the one that batted against Afghanistan. I think it'll be a nail biter

Really enjoying this tournament. Teams playing every 2/3 days, some good contests and the beeb showing 5 minute highlight packages. Fair play to em.

Eng have a good chanct to qualify if they pull their finger out. India on the other hand has a tough one against Aus - do or die for both of them so will be gripping to watch. I might have switch my loyalty from India to Eng.
Still expecting a NZ v WI final and hopefully a NZ win... Very well balanced side despite losing Mcculum

There's always something likeable about the Kiwis which makes you want to see them do well.
Maybe its how they manage to compete despite having such a small population or that they are refreshing and different without the brash arrogance and constant provocation of their neighbours across the Tasman Sea.

Some knock this by Buttler. It's given the bowlers a great target to bowl at but lets hope they keep their side of the deal and strangle any chance of a Sri Lankan win with some very tight deliveries in the opening spell

Nice finish from Stokes. A reasonable total. Can't help but feel that Morgan was a liability and should have sent Stokes and Ali in before himself.
