Right Ravi keep up the pressure.

[PaulWinch again]

Australia are going after Bopara now.

[PaulWinch again]

I think we might need a wicket here, can't let it drift.

[eastie]

I think we will win comfortably from here.

[PaulWinch again]

Root gets Hughes, fine bowling.

[PGW]

Batting power play jinx strikes again!!!

[PaulWinch again]

We have bowled brilliantly as a unit.

[PGW]

I think we will win comfortably from here.

At 134 - 5 i would hope so.....i have an urgent need of some Thatchers 'apple juice'. Can i leave TV screen now?

[PaulWinch again]

Another wicket, brilliant bowling display. We do need to address the batting and be more flexible, but the bowlers have been excellent.

[eastie]

Never in doubt !

I reckon we are watching the two weakest teams in the competition here, neither capable of hitting 300 runs, and England relying on the bowlers to heavily

[Colhint]

Can't agree with that. I think England have the best bowling unit

[eastie]

I think England will reach the semis at least - i expect to beat New Zealand and Sri Lanka and win the group.

[PaulWinch again]

I think it might not be as easy a pitch as we thought, but the batting still needs to have more intensity. The bowlers - brilliant.

[PGW]

Thatchers Gold has won the day i'm off to pub at 175 - 8 no way back...great bowling performance and as the game has turned out a great performance by Englands top of the order, setting a pace that Australia could never cope with due to our superior attack!!!!
