[Cricket] ICC CWC: England v Pakistan at Trent Bridge

[Ernest]

Not sure - think anything around 350 and this England batting lineup just shrug their shoulders and say ‘ok then, let’s crack on’. Don’t seem to be fazed by totals like that at all........

Be interesting to see them chase a decent target , 350 + will be a good watch

Indeed, I need to find a stream....

 

[Ernest]

Game swings England way now with that wicket

 

[Titanic]

Fourth catch for Woakes... this one off his own bowling... and it's the captain Sarfaraz for 55 from 44 balls

319-6 (47.2)

 

[Titanic]

Game swinging England's way now with 3 wickets and only 1 boundary in the last 12 balls...

7 down for 325... 13 balls left in the innings

 

[Titanic]

England will be chasing the highest winning total in World Cup history

337-7 with one to go.

Archer went for 79 from his 10 overs.

 

[Eeyore]

England will be chasing the highest winning total in World Cup history

337-7 with one to go.

Archer went for 79 from his 10 overs.

I suspect that record will be broken more than once in this tournament.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Going to be a long, hard slog, but I can see England doing this.

 

[Titanic]

Pakistan close on 348-8 (50 overs)

Records are made to be broken.

 

[jakarta]

30 odd runs given away in the field...

 

[dazzer6666]

I suspect that record will be broken more than once in this tournament.

Suspect it might broken in the next 2-3 hours.......

 

[Pavilionaire]

I fancy Pakistan will have settled for that total at the start but I'm sure they would have loved to get a couple more runs just to reach 350 for the psychological aspect. England still odds on to win with the bookies.

 

[spring hall convert]

England still odds on to win with the bookies.

Just saw this myself and was blown away. I'm not necessarily saying I disagree.

 

[Durlston]

I wouldn't feel comfortable betting on England at odds on with 349 to chase.

A couple of early wickets down and the pressure's really on.........

This could be decided in the first 10 overs, if 2-3 quick wickets go down we will implode. Or, if we can post 60 or so off the first 5 overs we could be well on the way.. Time will tell.

 

[McTavish]

30 odd runs given away in the field...

And the rest - Hafeez was dropped on 14 and scored 84

 

[Titanic]

Roy's a goner... reviewed but looked out to me in real time.

 

[Titanic]

yes it's OUT. Shadab's got him. Review wasted.

12-1 (2.1 overs)

 

[Sussex Nomad]

yes it's OUT. Shadab's got him. Review wasted.

12-1 (2.1 overs)

Ouch... that's not a good start for the chase. Bairstow should have told him to walk.

 

[Durlston]

Bookies now make Pakistan warm favourites.

I wish they'd make up their minds. Always better to have the runs on the board in a huge match like this.
