Very big game for both teams! You would expect England to make changes as they haven’t performed yet

Stokes and Willey will probably come in. Possibly Moeen Ali aswell depending on the pitch.

If this was a boxing match, the ref would probably stop it. Englands bowlers totally unable to put the ball in the right areas. It will need a miracle for England to get 400, especially one batsman light.

SA pulvarisiing England's attack, last ten overs going for nearly 14 an over!

England 24-3 chasing 400 - this must be one of the feeblest title defences ever..

68-6 now. Embarrassing. Why on earth did Buttler elect to bowl/field first in 35 degree heat and high humidity. The team looks like a bunch of asthmatic pensioners. Their net run rate after this thrashing is going to be hilarious.

Good question, I can’t even attempt an answer to it.

Afghanistan win big against Pakistan.

England now bottom - 10th out of 10.

Re: Unofficial Cricket World Cup Thread

England over 30s making a Sri Lanka attack that has gone around the park against everyone else look like world beaters - Bairstow and Malan out for inconsequential run a ball twenties and thirties which this team are specialising in lately andRoot run out in daft fashion, Buttler lucky to get to eight before he gave it away and nowLivingstone LBW playing across the line.

Truly shocking stuff.

Re: Unofficial Cricket World Cup Thread

Stokes extremely lucky there, reverse sweep and a reversed decision after ultra edge picked up the slightest of nicks.

Stokes needs to hang around and hold the innings together not go fashioning Twenty20 shots.
