Fantastic result. I fancy us against anyone in the final.

I'd probably prefer The West Indies in the final. India's home support would give them a slight advantage. Get Gayle early and I'd be confident.

I agree Villafirst. India may also be nervous, so much pressure.
Thought I was at a kids party for the final, but not anymore!

Get Gayle a date for the night and job is done.

No that was not successful. We need Jodie Marsh to step forward and take one for England.

Agree and I think the same goes for Jason Roy.  Speaks volumes for the benefits of continuity of selection. 

As for the game, it was one if the best limited overs performances I have seen from an England side.

I never thought I'd see Jordan and Jodie Marsh mentioned in a thread about Cricket!

The running between the wickets by the Indian batsmen was brilliant today, turned so many singles into twos.

Glad the Windies won, as I think it gives us a better chance. They're a hell of a side though.

Excellent game, though I'd be spitting blood over those no-balls if I was supporting India.

Agree that I'd rather the Windies than India in the final.

Bowling Kohli for that final over was mental, it's like India have got wrapped up with him being the Messiah. He's a hell of a batsman if there's no movement in the air, but he's nothing more than a part time bowler.
