Good effort from England's bowlers after only getting 145 batting first.
One foot in the semis now. |

Atherton "don't think we've seen the winner here";
Nasser "England will take a lot of confidence out of this win"; I think I know who I agree with !  |

Atherton TC !
Sri Lanka batted like complete novices today, they had looked good up until now. England weren't much better, Salt apart. The weather forecast was awry - yesterday they said there would be not much hope of play so England got a bit lucky there. One win from the next two games should be enough for the semis. |

On current form I wouldn't fancy England to beat either SA or WI in the semis; that said it only takes one decent partnership in a T20 game to win a match so all's not lost. 7/1 a fair price to effectively win three games.

Hoping we send them packing this afternoon.

Good move from Brook to come in at 3 after Salt out first ball. He his playing well. 40 off 30. Long innings needed from him.
Butler gone for just 2 he needs to find some form. |

Brook for 40 off 20 balls so far.

I was going to post that WI had been the most impressive team in the competition so far

I had to smile when, with NZ needing just 17 from 48 balls with 9 wickets left, the captain of SA had a long chat with his bowler, as if they were going to come up with some magical plan that would win them the game.
What happened next? Four, Six, Six and Four! Game over! |

A seemingly narrow defeat for England today although in truth it was more comfortable than that for India.
Hats off to Bethell and also Jacks for giving us hope but you can't bowl as badly as England did and expect to get away with it. Archer going for 61 in 4 overs  Mind you the Indians bowled a fair few pies as well. The NZ openers will take advantage if they repeat that in the final. Whatever happened to yorkers ? You can't hit them for six too often ! Modern day bowlers are either incapable of producing them or more likely under orders to bowl in the manner they do. They used to be the delivery of choice for quicks when under pressure at the end of an innings. |

Spot on Dixie. A game Poms should have won and Brooke should be ashamed of himself for dropping that dolly. Truly shocking fielding. Bethel knock was tremendous.
Point about yorkers is so correct but almost seems like they cant bowl them anymore. So many half trackers and leg side deliveries made it so easy for India to score. Bumrah incredible again. |

By:
yup spot on also re your comments dixie. why bowlers cant bowl yorkers these days is beyond me
 hoping that NZ can win today  |

And as if by magic Jasprit Bumrah provides a text book example of how effective yorkers can be, maybe he reads these hallowed pages
It beggars the question - what exactly are our one day bowling coaches getting paid for ? And other teams coaches of course. If we can see it, why can't they ? India very worthy winners, just a shame NZ didn't really turn up today - putting the Indians in after winning the toss was surprising and maybe not the wisest move given how good the hosts are with the bat. |
