India v Pakistan what a finish!

That was a fantastic finish, I think the nerves really got to the Pakistan players. Whilst Kohli was at the crease India were always in it and he seemed to be a calming presence at the death.

Struggling to see why South Africa weren't just awarded the win when they had already passed the number of runs they would have needed after the minimum five over requirement.

That could be costly when everyone else beats Zimbabwe as well.

Although unlikely, Zimbabwe could claim that they'd have taken a few wickets in the two unbowled overs. That would then push the DLS par score up at the 5 over mark.

It looks strange but i guess it followed procedure

I know we complain about Umpires taking players off too early, but they over compensated today.

That was ridiculous, especially from a top Umpire like Gough

That makes sense, thanks. Hadn't thought of that.

England have clawed it back against Ireland who went from 103-2 off 12 to 156-9 with 6 balls left. Our Villa boy Woakes went for 41 off 3 overs.

Ireland 157 all out

England in a whole lot of trouble here. 33-3 off 5.3.

[PaulWinch again]

They can’t get it off the square.

[PaulWinch again]

We’re stuffed here unless someone has a stellar innings which looks unlikely.

[Villan For Life]

The Aussie commentators on TMS are enjoying this performance at little too much for my tastes. What happened to impartiality?

[Villan For Life]

Going off for rain and we are behind on the Duckworth Lewis score. Moeen was just starting to motor too.

[PaulWinch again]

Going to lose on DLS because they did so poorly earlier.
