Bloody hell. It would be sort of hilarious if we somehow manage to lose this

What was that by Overton
Squeaky bum time, it’s like watching Everton
That is a truly exceptional innings from Harry Brook, he simply he has to bat at 3, you cannot have your best player at 5 in T20. He's good enough to open, but like others I like the idea of Jacks there, think at this stage Buttler has to come down the order if not out of the team. Jacks has been great with late hitting and that might be a better place for buttler to find form and gives England a late hitter. Would also bring in Duckett, dont think Banton looks like an international cricketer, and once outside Sri Lanka there is less need for a so called spin specialist.
Semi's is probably a par score for England in this world cup, but they are dangerous from here. Also think England deserve credit for a change in tactic with Archer, front loading him gets the best out of Archer and if Woods not in the team he is pretty much the only new ball specialist so him bowling three takes pressure of the others in the pp and means Curran has more death overs which is his better skill.

Well done Jofra. Way more nervy than it should have been at the end though.
Into the semis we go

Never make it easy do they, but they keep on winning, which all that matters.
…I’m a big believer in growing into tournaments and from what I’ve seen England have reached the semi-final without playing very well.

Be interesting what team they pick for the New Zealand match.

I really am a jinx on sports teams...
Honest ... I heard England were playing and doing well. I had a look ... a wicket fell next ball. Later I had another look at the score ... a wicket fell. A third look ... a wicket fell. Currently we need 5 runs for 7 wickets down so I'm not looking again, is thought.
Looked moments later and the 8th went down. Threw my phone down in disgust. Deffo not looking again.
Did we win?

Would still play Buttler to try and get him to fire, rest Archer and definitely see how Duckett is playing

I'd put Wood in, he can be very effective at the start of the innings.

Udderly delicious
Could be a tactical selection depending what happens in Group 1.
Bit of Hobson’s choice though …. Do you top your group and play India or come second and play SA?
