Great character

We almost forget the pressure they were under

Bairstow 100 the difference here


Wood lad!

such a good start, only 100 from the last 20 overs but new Zealand innings has put that into perspective.
Opening partnership makes such a difference to this England team, dare say that if hales was in for vince we'd be 1st/2nd in the table,

Great to see Rashid get a wicket.

Great work from Buttler throughout with the gloves.

Excellent bowling, especially Wood and Archer.

Bairstow again superb with the bat.

Haway England!!!

It’s a shame they fluffed it a bit as should be playing NZ in semis

India at Edgbaston is fine for me. We haven't lost at Edgbaston this whole four year cycle. No bother.

Australia at Lords, though... I can't even begin.

Good for Woods confidence. 3 wickets and an excellent economy rate.

Lad bowled well.

All four of the frontline seamers are bowling well now. Think the argument now is whether you bring Moeen in for Rashid. Rashid doesn't look right at all to me.

Yeah good points

I kind of meant India might knock out oz

Lords aye, aussies 2nd home, the fuckers!

Players have a week off, have a few beers tonight they’ve earned it
 
Wish Nasser would fuck off mind.

Woakes and Archer superb with the new ball with a wicket apiece....but Wood only ‘did well at the end’
 
Pakistan are better than NZ like

This is a great format imo. Should keep this for the future. I read that it was used back in 1992 and not since

Bairstow gets man of the match for his ton, second in a row and quite pleasing to see when you got him @10/1 ew four places as top scorer

Sharma top score on 544 but bairstow is in 7th on 464

As I just said, question is now which spinner to pick, rather than the balance of the attack. All four seamers are bowling well. I think there's an argument for bringing Ali in for Rashid - he has better figures and Rashid looks well short of fitness for me, he's about 8-10mph down on the speed gun. But unless it's ragging square, it's four seamers from here on in.

We need more teams in it. There are test playing countries missing from a world cup! It's not right. You need a Bermuda or Holland or a Kenya to give a bit of light relief.
