    13.4 overs was all it took

    Pakistan were absolutely atrocious with the bat, then Gayle and Pooran pretty much dismantled the attack.

    I don't know if WI will have an easier match.

    60/6.

    Just as well the ICC reduced the size of the WC to prevent one-sided mismatches

    136 all out. Despite the captain opener becoming only the second person ever in a WC match to carry his bat

    SL all out for 136, gas isn't it. You'd have to think that as regards todays match and yesterdays, that we would have put in as good a shift as Pakistan or Sri Lanka. Saw the highlights last night - lot of fast short bowling, nicks and edges, misjudged shots. I suppose it makes a change from wickets where the batsmen can slaughter away but will the teams learn to cope and adapt.

    A good wicket and match has a balance between bat and bowling. Is that there do you think? Is there too much advantage to the quick bowlers or is it just a matter of the batsmen changing their mindsets and strokes? Even when WI knocked off the runs, there were lots of dubious shots.

    Looks that way alright but 'criminal' not to adapt and use up the 50 overs.

    Bit early to write off AFG? That Rahmat Shah is a stylish batter. If he can keep the head, have partners and play the overs - they might make a decent score.

    New Zealand complete victory in 16.1 overs.

    I'd expect a few low scores early on in the tournament with some fresh green pitches, especially with early morning starts, giving the bowling side a huge advantage.

    Seems to be a lot of short pacy bodyline type bouncer bowling so far in this tournament. A good few batsmen caught off balls rising steeply into them. Will the umpires come down on it I wonder? Any views?

    Another wee twist, that was a great partnership, pity it ended. Can Afg get 200+ - be great if they can and then make the Aussies work.

    Well that has slipped steadily away from AFG. They gave a reasonable account of themselves, don't think we would have done any better and quite possibly worse.

    Still be interested to see if anything comes of the arguably excessive use of bouncers directed at batsmen heads by the winning teams so far. Seems to be a clear tactic; short, fast and rearing off the pitch. Maybe one of those an over is reasonable but there seems to have been several overs where 2 or even 3 were fired in. Was it Amla yesterday who took one straight in the face guard and went off to check for concussion. And regular wickets being taken from them.

    See that SA have won the toss this morning and unsurprisingly have opted to bowl. Expect the Bangladeshians to be ducking & weaving, in between trying to hook..

    Bangladesh going brilliantly, look likely to set their highest ever ODI total, previous best was 329-6 against Pakistan.

    Cracking effort by the Bangladeshi lads, that. 51 off their last 4 overs. The Proteas will do well to chase that total down.

    At least we got a bit of a contest today.

    Impressive enough from Bangladesh.

    Not sure how many wins you will need to make the semi finals... 6 I'd think, maybe 5 at a real push. Either way SA have little room to left to manoeuvre. I think Australia, India, NZ and WI would expect to beat them.

    True but I doubt they'll care much as long as people are cheering them on :)

    See England are bowling first and again likely looking to bounce them out. Let's hope the Pakistanis can deal with it like Bangladesh. How much will the umpires allow.

    Anywhere else on this site and you would in all likelihood get a card for using that term. Please do not do so again

    In separate news, England have a savage batting line up, and a pretty good bowling attack. However it may be their fielding that makes the difference in this tournament. After a stunning Stokes catch, Woakes just took another spectacular catch in the outfield - Pakistan now 119-2 after 21

    Well done!

    Always nice to see Roy being jinxed, he's such an ugly batsman to watch, unless he's in absolutely top nick, which occurs rarely enough. So saying, he'll probably bludgeon his way to an ugly 70 from 40 balls today!

    (PS I know you were referring to his poor fielding rather than to his batting.)

    Good effort by Pakistan :) They might be slightly disappointed they couldn't put up a few more in the last 10 but still the pressure will now be on the English bats, can they take it or will they crumble at home? Funny how things reversed a bit today and it was spin that took the first 3 wickets, but sure there was 200 up by then.

    Any good reason (or even a bad reason) why lots of teams (SAF, ENG, PAK) will have played 2 games before India have even started?

    With 10 teams the obvious structure would be blocks of 5 games with everyone playing once in each block.

    TV, sponsors, festivals back in India??? That's where the money is, AFAIK. So likely some financial reason :)

    96/3 now - this is going to get interesting! Either Eng will stage a solid innings (up reasonably with run rate) or they'll implode :)

    Stokes gone now, run rate creeping up. Once Buttler or Root goes, that's surely game up?

    It's to do with IPL scheduling apparently.

    334 England score and loose the game. Pakistan score 348.. That’s nuts ! 682 runs scored in a days cricket, 100 overs...great stuff. Mad thing is if Root and Butler had meaningful help in the upper order they are probably winning this.
