Bairstow dropped on 27
England 52-1 off 10 overs
Cardiff showing its full glory as an International venue.
Hope the ECB got their backhanders in untraceable cash.
To be fair, just read that it is actually sold out and has been for ages
Just that large swathes of the tickets were bought by Indian Fans, travel agents and touts…
Yeah, mostly by Indian fans. There was an offer for them to sell them back, I think in exchange for the other semi, but it looks like it wasn’t taken up much.
EDIT: Bairstow’s gone
England 81-2 off 17 overs
Bairstow gets 43 which is 24 less than Roy did in 7 innings
That’s the ton up for England
Root and Morgan at the crease 21 and a bit overs gone

So are you saying that the Indians expected to come second in their group? That’s not quite what I’d expect from them.
The Pakistani’s have been bowling well again 25 overs gone and only one extra
Morgan reviewing a Caught behind for himself
Thats one theory and will no doubt explain the shit pitch then.
Not out and on we go.
It was clearly off of his elbow and not his glove.
Root out caught behind 46 (56)
128-3
Apparently he is suffering with a minor back injury!!
I thought Maggie got rid of the miners to stop them getting injured?
136-3 off of 30 overs.
We need to start accelerating but not in the Sri Lankan style.
Give Stokes 2 more overs then I feel a few big boundary’s coming on.
I don’t think we will have any batsmen left to do the accelerating at this rate.
Pakistan bowling very well on a quite ordinary track.
Moeen out 11 (12)
Superb catch in the deep from a thick top edge when attempting a sweep.
England will be lucky to make 250 here.
162-6
Moeen gone for 11
Stokes is on his own to get as many runs as possible.
England 162-6 with 11 overs left
