What a game, unbelievable game, can't believe I had to miss the last hour!

We need to learn from today, Bopara must start.

A tie then- but we will take more heart from the result than India I'd think

mmmmmmmm 50/50 really as when Bell and Strauss were together we should have won but I never thought we would get near 330+

Great weekend so far. Wins for Villa and England yesterday, brilliant game of cricket, now just need Arsenal to round it off for me.

Well that breaths life into the World Cup and 50 over cricket absolutely incredible. Although like I said Collingwood is nowhere near good enough to be number 5 and Anderson has been atrocious so far. Strauss magnificent, and Bell. And well done to the lads in the lower order who got us the tie. Bresnan's bowling as well was brilliant.

Superb match. Some excellent cricket from the likes of Tendulkar & Strauss, Zaheer & Bresnan.

Does that class as a successful run chase? Have we now got 3 of the top four highest chases in WC history now?

Great game, great finish... it didn't look possible with 5 overs to go.

Err...good question!
We definitely hold the record for the highest total in a tied game if that helps.

Brilliant game. Hopefully that will kick-start the tournament... it's been a bit of a damp squib till now.
