CWC- England v Pakistan

[Foley]

Mmm not going quite to plan.
Pakistan 235 for 3 with 12 overs remaining.
England have fielded and bowled nowhere near as well as they did v South Africa.
This could be a good game and Pakistan looking to get well over 300 on a really good batting pitch.

 

[Sarge]

Having a windscreen replacement (damn stone chip cracked in 4 directions) so cant keep an eye n ear on todays wc england match until windscreen done ....looks as if pakistan have recovered a bit of form ....and eng have lost a bit ...so far?

 

[Gary Baldi]

Indifferent from England today. Roy dropped an easy chance and the bowling has either been good or bad - like the fielding. The wicket looks good and PAK only have 4 bowlers, relying on 2 part time spinners. All to play for here.

 

[Sarge]

Windscreen replaced ....30 min for it to be ok to drive....then i can catch up with the cricket

 

[Gary Baldi]

England look like they need to calm down. Has got a little frenetic in the past few overs.

 

[Foley]

England are going to bat far better than they have fielded.
Well over 300 with4 overs left.
4 overthrow in the last over was very poor.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

That looked like a bit of a horror show really. Poor bowling, bad catching and worse fielding. Up to the batsmen to try and put it right, but a huge wake-up call (especially given Pakistan's performance the other say).

 

[unification]

Sub par by England’s standards. I hope they don’t take their bowling and fielding performance into their batting although I fear it may be nagging at each of them.

This is going to be a decent test of them.

 

[Foley]

Roy out early to leg spinner and ridiculous review lost.
Good challenge for England today.

 

[Sarge]

60-2 ....Bairstow gone ..... need to start batting properly!

 

[Marked Ox]

Not looking good.

 

[Foley]

Scoring looks fairly easy but Pakistan are bowling some excellent deliveries and with good fielding we would be in deep trouble.

 

[Northstandboy]

Had to laugh at the boy doing the floss

 

[Sarge]

Morgan gone ....103-3 now ....hmmmmm

 

[Foley]

Stokes out.
England in deep trouble. Need a Buttler century or we could heavily lose this

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Surprisingly poor so far in all departments of the game.

Or Root

 

[Sarge]

Rrr over 8 for the remaining 19 overs

 

[Foley]

Or Root

Probably both.
Still need 150.
Since Buttler has come in we are regularly getting 10 an over.
Dint think that the run rate is an issuevwhilat these 2 are in

 

[makv]

Rooooooooooooot

 

[makv]

Rooooooooooooot

Jinx [emoji23]

 

[Foley]

Terrific game.
Buttler is still the key.
Will be close

 

[Sarge]

C mon England!!!

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Looks like it could be the best finish so far (if we don't lose too many more wickets!)

 

[makv]

No way we’re doing this

 

[ZeroTheHero]

No, the match has gone - these two are having trouble getting the ball off the square!

 

[Foley]

No it is the good Pakistan that turned up but England have been poor (Root and Buttler excepted)
Moeen cant come good at last,?

 

[Sarge]

Oh dear ! ..... relying on moeen to deliver &he hasnt for a while (with the bat)

 

[Sarge]

Oh dear ! ..... relying on moeen to deliver &he hasnt for a while (with the bat)

Dont rely on moeen with a bat ! 320-7 2 overs to go

 

[makv]

Not sure Mooen should be on before Woakes
