you watching live Crucial? Wondering how many times the pommy commentators have said "England will back themselves to chase down a big score" ... I'm guessing it'll be 25-50 by now?
All very well saying England can score 360 on this pitch but that doesn't totally account for the fact that England's prime strike bowler got 0 wickets for 79 off 10

Which may add weight to the argument that they will easily get there. Totally benign pitch.
Scoreboard pressure is real though chasing 349

This is from an article on Cricinfo…
England's problems were not limited to the fielding, either. With Adil Rashid proving expensive (he went for 43 from five overs), Eoin Morgan only felt able to allow him five overs. Partially as a result, their over-rate suffered to the extent that there were more than three overs remaining by the time England would have been expected to complete their overs. In all, Pakistan's innings over-ran by 19 minutes.
It's only a few games since Morgan served a one-match suspension for repeated over-rate violations. While there is an amnesty on such issues for global events like this, the possibility that Morgan could be censured again here is very real. While that may only amount to a fine, it will remain on his record and be taken into account should England over-run again. Coming at this stage of the tournament, it is also a real concern. England do not want to be without their captain for the latter stages of the competition.That doesn't match what the CWC Playing Conditions say.
Over Rate offences during CWC2019 will be penalised in accordance with the ICC Code of Conduct subject to the following: - All Captains shall start CWC2019 with no ‘Minor’ and/or ‘Serious’ Over Rate offences against their names. - A Captain will need to commit 2 ‘Minor’ Over Rate offences during CWC2019 to be suspended from a CWC2019 match, or one ‘Serious’ Over Rate offence during CWC2019 to be suspended from 2 CWC2019 matches
ICC Code for 'Serious' - 2.22.2 where the actual over rate in.....any One Day International Match, Twenty20 International Match or any other International Match of fifty (50) or twenty (20) overs per side, is more than two overs short of the Minimum Over Rate, such an offence shall be considered a “Serious Over Rate Offence”.

This is going to be a great contest. RR good for England but they are 2 down inside 15 overs.
Like England, I think Pakistan will struggle with their 5th (or 6th) bowler.
