    Lot of experience at the crease now, seem to be doing the job nicely. Surely a positive that they are getting a decent game they will, bar a miracle, win comfortably enough.

    Still plenty of wickets in hand so to up the rate if required

    West Indies put up a big score, but why is Marlon Samuels still in the team?

    Good over. 12 from it to get the RR back up.

    146/2 after 30. Wouldn't worry about the run rate. Wickets in hand critical at this point.

    This games points and NRR score won't carry through to the super six so doesn't matter how much we win by, just that we get the win.

    95 runs the 3rd wicket partnership between Porterfield and Joyce. 171/2 now and cruising it would seem. Just 65 runs to win.

    Afghanistan have lost 3 wickets in a over to slide to 163/4 to 169/7. They need just 28 runs though to win.

    Afghanistan lost another wicket, looking like they might lose that match now.

    Back after lunch (mine - it was delicious). 201/4 after 41.3 we should do it comfortably unless we lose another two wickets in consecutive overs las with Joyce and NOB. Thought it would be a lot easier though when PNG wickets were falling early.

    If Afghanistan lose this they are effectively gone. Even if they get through as the third team, they will go in to the Super sixes with 0 points.

    24 Runs required from last 7 overs. It would take a spectacular collapse to lose now. It would be nice get at least one 6 and kill it quickly. Ura got 6 maximums and Vanua got another in their innings.
