T20 World Cup

Good total for the bowlers to bowl at - crisp striking from Buttler and a couple of big hits from Morgan and Stokes. Smart bowling would hopefully see them home
 
Rashid slapped for a couple which has helped Sri Lanka - this could get closer than it should have

But that's a wicket England needed

Poor bowling from Ali - every ball in the slot

21 from the over
 
This is great from Stokes
Brilliant final over from him ( still laugh when someone dismissed him as a top cricketer )

Really great excitement - enjoyable game

Into the semis :whoo: ( no doubt our next defeat will already be predicted )

Phew! Bit too close there!

Great result nevertheless. For everything that England are / are not, have done / havent done they are in the last 4. And its game on from there.

Think just need to sort out the spinners - everything else today was pretty solid - good start and then accelerated when needed and the seamers did well - 42 from two different overs of spin shows the issue
 
The 4 overs of spin has made a game of it.

England's pacers: 16-0-96-7
England's spinners: 4-0-63-0

Just said the same thing in response to your other post

Where as Sri Lanka spin was clearly cleverer - they fire the ball into the pads where as Ali is floating them in and with it not turning much it's just food and drink for any batsman
