As a result of that Sri Lanka essentially need to win one game and they're through now.

They should confirm their semi final place relatively comfortably on Thursday

[PaulWinch again]

We really need to beat Sri Lanka, although I somehow doubt that. But either way we need them to win their game against NZ.

You just know England will be the only team that struggles against Netherlands/Bangladesh.

[PaulWinch again]

But of course.

[PaulWinch again]

A must win for England today after the D/L shambles on Saturday. It's going to be incredibly tough, but we can't sit in we need to impose ourselves on the game.

[PaulWinch again]

South Africa massively struggling against the Netherlands, they'll need Steyn to dig them out again.

[cdbearsfan]

Great fightback from Holland. Need a decent start with the bat after the awful performance Sri Lanka.

Quiz question, no Googling: what's the capital of Sri Lanka?

[PaulWinch again]

It's Colombo isn't it?

[cdbearsfan]

Not technically. That's what I always thought but apparently the official capital is Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte.

Rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?

[PaulWinch again]

You learn something everyday!

[cdbearsfan]

Hmmm... you never know. Come on Netherlands!

[paul_e]

Can I just say how funny I'd find it if Myburgh keeps going and gets them a win here.  Come on Netherlands!

[PaulWinch again]

If this continues it throws open the group.

[taylorsworkrate]

They just need to be sensible now.

Cannot believe there isn't a review system in an international tournament.
