Always great to get the toughest game out of the way in the group stages first up. Easier ones to follow now although Scotland looks decent

It will also mean that Aus could lose to Scotland (in their final game) and both those 2 would go through.

It seems that out and out pace is not the answer on these pitches, the England attack in the opening game was all wrong. Hope to see Topley and Curran for Wood and Jordan against Aus.

I suspect you’ll see one of them but not both. My money would be Topley for Wood for this game.

Mate I’m currently chowing down on an omelette while sitting on the balcony at an all inclusive resort in Cabo San Lucas. I wouldn’t have known the game was on if it wasn’t for Cozza’s insta updates from Barbados

As expected, the good guys dominating early this morning. England's WC victories in any format (and sport) looking very much like the flukes they were.

I love how the Australia vs Scotland game is likely to determine England's fate. Australia don't even have to lose it, just win while not damaging Scotlands NRR so it remains above England's

Imagine, Scotland make 120 and Australia make 100 in 10 overs, then take 9 overs to score last 21 to win. This would piss England off for years 😀

Aus did the same thing in the 1999 WC against the West Indies to prevent NZ (I think) from qualifying

It would probably lead to the re-structuring of all future ICC tournaments as well.

Can't see it though. With Scotland only just beating Namibia, you'd think England will go big against one of the two weaker sides and give their NRR a big boost. I suspect Scotland will need to beat Aus to qualify, but you never know.....

What would be the point of 'helping' Scotland through. It's just giving some other teams and easier ride in super 8.
