true, but they may gain Mahrez so that solves all the problems

Pakistan hold out for the win! Sarfraz and Amir do fantastically well to bring the victory home and the captain sends his team in to the semi-finals.

another one of those run-outs where the batsman hits it down the ground, bowler gets a hand to it, hits the wicket and the non-striker doesn't have his bat on the ground. Unfortunate as the bat was mere centimetres from the ground

could be a very interesting end to this game now. Sri Lanka managed to get to 236. Pakistan were cruising with Azhar Ali and Fakhar Zaman. They're now 131-5 after 25 overs. Probably still win but making it hard for themselves. At this stage you'd still want more than 6 wickets in hand. Pakistan's strongest batsmen (on paper) have all been out now.

collapsing after the break. I wonder what was in Amir's drink

England playing SA in July after this tournament finishes. 3 T20s before the tests get going. T20 squad announced today:

it's the most reliable out there. constantly calls things and gets them right.

£40m

to be fair I was worried about this when Amla and De Kock were ticking away nicely and you had those spare wickets in hand.

Thought our bowlers kept it quite tight to be fair and didn't give much away. Amla and De Kock started off well but we never let your other players who could trouble any team - ABDV, Du Plessis, Miller - settle in. Even if it wasn't brilliant, I'd say it was better than adequate.

someone on another forum was trying to tell me that Sri Lanka beating us and Pakistan beating South Africa wasn't a shock

is and always will be a legend of a man

wow, what a dick move

what happened? Just turned on while it's half-time in football and Ocon was complaining on the radio?

agree with this but England are the stronger side at the moment. As for today's game, gotta agree with @IgnisExcubitor. We were brilliant when bowling and well disciplined, especially after getting the 2 openers out. Never really let anyone else settle and took advantage of unusually poor discipline by SA. Of all the games to be played, I never thought our game against SA would be the easiest!

thanks. missed out on one when I was younger

the most reliable source on Twitter for transfer news (genuinely).

this is absolutely terrible. bring back Sunderland

went to a wedding reception last night and wasn't drinking. Got back at 12am. Had to get up at 2am to drop the missus off at the airport. Lacking sleep after staying up til 4 to watch the election stuff . Suffering now!

well done Sri Lanka. Batted well and paced the innings out as I'd expect India to do in that situation. We lost the game in the middle overs of our innings. Lost Kohli for a duck which was terrible and runs slowed right down after an extremely strong start by Sharma and Dhawan again. Our bowlers were shit . At times, excellent fielding with the 2 run-outs. Other times, very poor. It's basically a quarter final in our group now - all teams on 2 points. We play South Africa on Sunday. Pakistan play Sri Lanka on Monday. Winners go through.

Pakistan win by 19 runs via D/L method. Quick start paid off. Despite going 22 balls without a run, they paced it up and got the required runs. 3 teams on 2 points currently. We win tomorrow against Sri Lanka and we're through. Then it's up to the rest of the group to decide their fate!

no rain due tomorrow. just very grey and cloudy thank fuck

Terrible shot from Fakhar to get out there. Could have left that as he looked like he was going to do, then shaded his bat towards it. Poor as he was hitting some fine boundaries against Parnell.
