If this was Pakistan playing this badly everyone would be asking is it fixed? Truly dreadful bowling, fielding, positioning and use of reviews!

Let's hope a couple of the batsmen are at least awake

Jesus, we're going to lose to the Netherlands, AGAIN!!

A lot of pressure on our batsmen.

Sounds like we were diabolical in the field and bowling, unacceptable.

Just looked a very tired performance in the field, almost as if they didn't want to be there.

They need to sort that out, better teams than the Dutch will absolutely annihilate them.

Batting looks a bit better though. Helped by the Dutch bowling some absolute dross.

We could do with KP scoring a few and getting some confidence about opening.

BBC Test Match Special's Simon Mann   "England have been like a club third XI on a Sunday afternoon. Some of the spectators are laughing - goodness knows what India are making of this."

England looking good at the moment to get a win. 147-1 with 138 balls to go (target 146 runs). Should be an exciting end to the match.

A tired and disinterested England team? Seen that somewhere before in a world cup!

Sir Geoffrey's been pretty entertaining. A nice long ran about how the one-day game favours the batsman too much.

Good batting, bad fielding from both sides. Fortunately England were slightly better with the bat than Holland. However they will need to improve in the field alot to get anywhere in this compitition.

Well done in the end from the batsmen, but the fielding and bowling needs a massive massive improvement.
