Scared to look. Everytime Andy posts, a NZ wicket has gone.

Another run out. The outward representation of internal pressure.

Going to take something very dramatic to overturn the 1.2 runs gained over eight matches in a single game!

So I've just heard.

So NZ will get through in fourth.

Job done by the ENgland bowlers. So is that India v England and Australia v NZ, probably?

England v NZ final?

Looks as though England have finally stumbled across their best side. A side everyone else knew from the start

Quite comfortable in the end today, and it looks like India again at Birmingham a week tomorrow :box

To think this time last week, most of us seemed quite resigned to missing out :facepalm

They have re-opened the door that England slammed shut in Pakistan's face. A narrow loss for NZ would have kept the door closed, but surely Pakistan can see light through the crack.

It is in Aus' best interests (imo) for Bangas to do well, and for Aus to beat SA.

Tomorrow's game could hardly be more posthumous. Not even the wooden spoon is up for grabs.

Just read Pakistan need to win by 316 runs if they bat first.

I'm still not overly confident with Rashid - and more to the point Rashid doesn't look confident in himself.

I would imagine we would see the return of Mo in the next round or even a surprise apperance from Curran.
