Great catch, Pakistan 40-2.

After a convincing win yesterday for New Zealand, today it's Bangladesh v India. Not the best start for Bangladesh, 13-2.

 

[summerisle]

Bangladesh made 228 all out, a recovery from 35-5. Not going to be nearly enough though, India 72-1 (12) overs.

 

[summerisle]

Comfortable win for India by 6 wickets. Tomorrow, is South Africa v Afghanistan.

The fifth bowler Livingstone /Root, no problems there then.

Duckett off to a very slow start. Wonder if that put a bit of pressure on salt to go for the big shot?

Hello darkness, my old friend.

4, 6 and then an outrageous catch.

 

[PITA]

I'd like to see New Zealand win this. They deserve some success.

This stump mic is irritating me

 

[JimmyJeffers]

340 needed at a min on this track with possible dew later. Don’t trust England to bowl with much control

I'd like to see New Zealand win this. They deserve some success.

They've got as good a chance as any.

I'd like England to win it.

 

[Ivo]

Second wicket gifted. Oh dear.

 

[PITA]

They've got as good a chance as any.

I'd like England to win it.

I'm sort of assuming that we won't. We haven't been great of late.
