Bugger. Tight finish though!

Pitch is a bit up and down. Shami already sent one down at 139 that didn't get up

Bairstow has been practicing his French cut.

England off to an excellent start. 6+ rpo and no wickets lost after 15.

India are seriously under the pump now. England have found a belter and they are feeding on it.

145 after 20 overs is fucking insane.

I blame the hi vis shirts

mariner4life

155 actually. Jesus this is incredible. With the batting to come 400 is on

Gem of a catch finally brings a breakthrough

NTA

Fark nice catch

NTA

Pulled them back in now a bit.

Sustained run rate like that is hard. Better to try for 6 then accelerate I reckon

NTA

Eoin Morgan will get nothing but short balls the rest of this CWC

I think it's fair to say he's been worked out

NTA

@canefan like Steve Waugh: he will have to put away childish things if he wants to complete himself as a batsman

Same as Maxwell. Sometimes it isn't helpful to be able to play all the shots. Mark Richardson averaged 40+ and only had about 3 shots

NTA

Root tries a silly shot when it would have been a half volley drive for 4.

NTA

Won't make 350 now by the looks.

NTA

Two of the recent wickets would have been called Wide if they'd been left alone

NTA

About 30 less than they probably wanted.

India won't be threatened by that.

@NTA They really didn't need to slog. The platform was set, they just had to keep accumulating. An imposing total (apparently it will be the highest ever successful run chase in CWC history?) but the Indians are loaded with batting

India well behind on the worm.
