Respect due to Pakistan. Tough run chase, and Babar/Haris have stood up and nailed it down for them. I didn't think they had it in 'em.
You suspect that they'll get to 11 points now - Bangladesh is no easy win (Afghanistan should be.....although you never know with Pakistan) but they're batting and bowling well, and have now worked out their best XI.
So England have to win both of theirs, in all probability, to reach the semis. Starting off against India, on a turning wicket, facing the best spin tandem (Chahal/Kuldeep) in world cricket. Uh oh!
New Zealand aren't certain of their semi-final spot either with two tough games to come.....
I guess it's all good for the tournament!
