Maiden over.

49 more of those to go and operation "Screw over the Kiwis for Some Reason" will be complete.

...Rauf appears to be on Team NZ however.

 

[Aidan11]

Two contrasting overs to begin.

 

[thierry henry]

wtf I love England now

 

[Athlai]

PPs reaction to the toss is a roller coaster

 

[Aidan11]

Now we're moving.

 

[King Kane]

Bairstow has finally managed to hit a couple of balls with his bat and score a couple of boundaries.

I think we might be safe.

 

[Owzat]

according to wiki kiwis have kwalified already, think they know that it is almost impossible to get Pakistan to the semis or maybe they did it the second England won the toss

still there are some will panic about the slimmest of possibilities.......

 

[Aidan11]

Shame Rauf is only allowed to bowl up to 10 overs.

Pak need to chase total in 3 overs .

They'd need to chasen 32 in like 8 balls already and the equation only gets worse from here

 

[silentstriker]

Not even the slimmest chance unfortunately.

 

[Athlai]

England gonna score 400 here

 

[Chin Music]

The last few overs bring me the analogy of the England 2006 football team. Stunk out the tournament and then won 5-0 v Greece in a meaningless friendly a couple of months later . Yes, I know this has ensuring CT qualification riding on it but very much after the Lord Mayor’s show feel.

 

[Aidan11]

Very sensible batting from England on the Powerplay.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

There's no stopping this England Juggernaut!!

Dawid Malan says 'hi'.

 

[GIMH]

Wake up and see play has started and it’s going okay
Come down, put kettle on
Can’t find remote so spend ten minutes looking for it before realising its right where it always is
put cricket on
Lose wicket

 

[Aidan11]

Root in now to slow the rate down.
