Jacob Bethel with his maiden ton.

Was a good knock too - he looks every inch a test batter (apart from the frosted tips, perhaps).

How was Pope keeping him out of the side???

As happened when we played the Windies the other day, I switched on to watch a bit of our batting, and we start haemorrhaging wickets. Against Italy of all people!!

At least you’re still in the tournament!

Aussies confirmed out in the T20 WC.

Aussies confirmed out in the T20 WC.

Seems a suitable way for the Aussies to bow out - what a ridiculously underwhelming campaign that was. Seemed unprepared for spinning pitches, the team selection looked unbalanced and included injured players

Smacked of arrogance really

England stumbling into the Semis without convincing anyone, I'd back Buttler to click very soon - SA and NZ are the worries as they both seem complete

Yeah it's been a weird tournament for England so far - as you say Buttler will come good

Well, that's it, I refuse to watch us bat. England 2 for 2 after I decided to tune in for the run chase. I've jinxed them!

Might have to watch the highlights today, New Zealand battered SA, including a 33 ball 100 from one of their upper order :O

It was epic! What a privilege to be able to watch that innings live. One of the most destructive innings I’ve ever seen without tons of risks being taken

Going to need something similar from one of the Brits today, India are posting a pretty big total!

[Sus]

Yep! What a costly drop from Brook, that changed the game

This is some knock from Bethell, whatever happens now

Crazy game, difference was Bumrah in the last 5 overs, nailed it - Some batting that from both teams TBH - Shame their had to be a loser there. I think maybe time up on Jos B which would be such a sham, carried England for years but could not get going this time - Felt for him
