There is a brighter prospect weather-wise tomorrow at the Hampshire Bowl.
Any rain should have cleared by the time the toss is made.
Buttler could feature for England but Wood is a doubt.
I’m looking forward to this match so hopefully the rain stays away.
It's like an infirmary out there. First Roy, then Morgan and now Russell (yet again) crocked.
Duckworth Lewis strikes again,
Pakistan set the achievable target of 136 runs from 4 overs data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I’m still trying to work out how this Pakistan team beat England! data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
England were very complacent that day and it cost them. Pakistan are such a mediocre side this time around.
There’s a danger the top 4 could pull away now and make the rest of the group stage a damp squib.
Pakistan can beat anyone on their day. They can also lose to any side on any given day. They have no consistency. I predicted they would finish 6th before the start of the tournament. They have played all the big teams, so have easier matches coming up. I still think they will finished 6th.
Given the way they are playing none of their remaining games are ‘easy’. They’ll have to win all four just to have a sniff of getting to the semis.
Buttler got out. If he had stayed in one more over, England would have won that game, it's as simple as that but you can't win 'em all!
BANGLADESH v WEST INDIES
Should be a full game at Taunton. Just swapped Pandya for Shakib Al Hassan for fantasy team. This is one of those games that doesn't really grab you? I can't see myself spending all day indoors watching this one.
