I'm not sure about that mate, BBC are saying they come back tomorrow.

"The BBC are reporting that the game will resume tomorrow. With respect to Auntie, we can confirm that the game will not be concluded tomorrow. It's either tonight or we have an Irish win."

EDIT: Play due to start in 12 minutes

Sky have already stated the rules, and they are showing it live, I presume they would know.

Immaterial now, they're coming back on in 10 mins

I hope Pakistan do go out on the DL method. It makes up for the ridiculous decision in the 1992 groups.

England had bowled them out for less than 100 and were denied the chance to bat. Result - Draw.

The draw put Pakistan through and they went on to win, beating England in the Final

I've never got over that

If they do come out, Ireland need to be a bit more aggressive in their approach, here's hoping though!

The Rain did help England in the Semi Finals Though

if Bangladesh beat bermuda they are through

[Red Chilli]

Ireland have lost 3 overs and they've taken 5 runs off the target

Not necessarily mate.
Could end up with 3 teams on 4 points

Rain day was only if no result happened today, min of 20 over per side, or 20 overs batted by side batting second - which has happened, therefore rain day does not come into effect, DL does, Ireland were ahead on DL method, it looks like they won't return, Ireland will win!

Confirmed now

[lfc4ever]

So close, and yet so far, I'm on edge rooting for them, imagine Pakistan & India going out in the early rounds, they will be given hell by their media & public.

Ireland require another 30 runs with 6 wickets and 15.0 overs remaining



COME ON IRELAND

[Shaggy]

This is fantastic stuff from Ireland.

Surely Pakistan are as good as out if (when) they lose this?
