14th June - 1st Semi-final - England v Pakistan

[Howe_zat]

Semi final LMS

1. Will the captain who wins the toss opt to bat first?

1. Yes

Pratters the only faller at question 1.

England the vastly superior team will annihilate Pakistan today (and Amir is not playing either, so Pak have close to no chance of victory)!

Pratters the only faller at question 1.

What did I ever do to you?

Amir out is a huge blow

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Looks close

 

[vic_orthdox]

Think it's not going to get enough of the stump here even if it pitches in-line.

 

[vogue]

Hell lads I've just sat down with my tea...don't need too much excitement at this time of the match..

 

[Spark]

God I can't wait for that rule to be changed.

 

[honestbharani]

sounds like a heart breaker of a review for Pak. All the more reason why umpire's calls should not cost teams their reviews.

 

[mackembhoy]

Roy would have been given out

 

[social]

Poor decision as it was never going to do anything other than smash into the stumps

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

lol rambo

 

[Woodster]

Well, Amir out is a big blow for Pakistan. All logic points to an England victory, form, conditions, etc, but as we've heard so frequently when talked about Pakistan they are an unpredictable side and even without Amir could get an roll and nip out a few quick wickets, but this England side keep coming and keep attacking.

Bairstow only just survives the second ball, so close! A worthwhile review from Pakistan, but umpires call saves Bairstow, pretty sure the way it was going for Jason Roy, Erasmus would've given that one had it been him!

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Wonder if Bairstow would have reviewed had he been given. So close that.

 

[Woodster]

Wonder if Bairstow would have reviewed had he been given. So close that.

Roy would for sure!

 

[WalkingWicket]

I reckon Hales might enjoy the slightly more circumspect play of Bairstow at the other end - knowing he doesn't have to not get out whilst Roy inevitably does.

 

[harsh.ag]

Junaid so unlucky

That review system can't change soon enough.

 

[Woodster]

Nice couple of flicked boundaries through the leg side should hopefully settle Bairstow down a touch.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Thats some swing if it misses

 

[mackembhoy]

What a class review

Thought it was plumb
