Drinks break with 17 overs left ... Matthews got his half century ...144-4

 

[Foley]

It's been a good recovery from Sri Lanka.
193 for 5 in 39.
India's fielding had been very poor.it would be good to see them hit a bit of poor form before the Semi Finals!

 

[Sarge]

7 overs left .... 215-5

 

[Foley]

Mathews 100.
They could get 270+ which would make it interesting although you assume India should get that.

Begs the question - again - as to how we failed to chase down 232 against that Sri Lankan attack.

Still, probably made no difference in the end.......
