Silly me didn't read the post properly however - Don’t forget the pom's game Vs. Ireland in Ireland on Friday night our time. Looking forward to this one and all the ODI’s coming up

England win the first one.

Pakistan 6/173

England 3/175

4 balls to spare

 

[Bazal]

England batting ok, 3/253 after 39 with Morgan and Buttler starting to look dangerous.

 

[Bazal]

3/373 in the end.

Jos Buttler is amazing. 110* off 55 balls. He went from 50 to 100 in 18 balls....Pakistan kept putting it in the slot and he kept hitting it 873 miles

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Pakistan gave it a shake, 7/361 in their chase to only lose by 12. Fakar with 138 off 106 balls.

If these pitches are the norm bowlers are going to be fodder at this world cup.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Big scores continue.

Pakistan 9/358

Were beaten by England 4/359 who chased it down with 31 balls to spare in a team with no Buttler.

 

[TheParraboy]

Best way to beat poms send them in first by the looks

Their batting is insane, even without Butler they could bat down to number 10 yesterday, with Plunkett at 11 who averages almost 20 at almost 100 S/R

Its their world cup to win...or lose

 

[Bazal]

So there's chat on social media that, because the centre pitches are being prepared for the WC, the pitch for the ODI tonight at Trent Bridge will be on the very edge of the square. And one of the boundaries will be around 40m

Oh dear

 

[Bazal]

Booo!

They are in roughly the centre. So the boundary is 50m not 40

 

[Bazal]

Izamam Ul Huq Junior retired hurt

Copped the full heat of Mark Wood right on the point of the elbow. Down for ages, I'd be shocked if he plays any further part. Nasty blow

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Pakistan 7/340.
Babar Azam 115
England 7/341
Jason Roy 114 off 89 balls, Stokes 71*

England wobbled losing 4/15 @ one stage before Stokes got them home.

 

[TheParraboy]

purple stumps look weirdish

 

[TheParraboy]

Game 5
poms 2/147
20 overs

You could almost think this was a T20 match..

400 on the cards

 

[Bazal]

Game 5
poms 2/147
20 overs

You could almost think this was a T20 match..

400 on the cards

Mate they were going at almost 10s after 9-10 overs or so. Carnage.

The spinners have slowed them down a bit but Pakistan will feel like keeping them under 400 is a massive comeback

 

[TheParraboy]

Both Morgan and Root 50s

2/191
25 overs

 

[Bazal]

Morgan goes, but Pakistan are getting well and truly roasted here...3/222 with 3 balls to go in the 30th. Buttler in to the crease. This could be anything

 

[Bazal]

Lol another failure to get to 100 for Ellen...

 

[TheParraboy]

poms collapse

lucky they bat down to no 12

6/272
38.3 overs

Enter the great Woakes to bring the total to over 450

 

[Bazal]

Not sure what the point of the review was or who called for it, but Moeen was dead.
