138-1 from 20 overs
Root in imperious form at the moment (lets hope commentators curse doesn’t kick in)
Windies bowling looking very ordinary.
75 runs needed from 30 overs.
160-1 from 25 overs
Gayle been in bowling trying to slow the run rate down, Winides just reviewed an LBW given not out, the ball clearly hit Woakes outside the line so a wasted review.
186-1, 29 overs
“Root now the leading run-scorer in this WC. Who would have thought that? Speaking of chaos theory, how about some order? West Indies rocked Pakistan, Pakistan pauper(ed) England, and England scissored West Indies.”
No sixes in the England innings yet, Root needs 11 runs for his second ton in this World Cup, only one England player has scored 2 tons in a world cup before…
199-2, Woakes gone not getting quite enough on a pull shot
Stokes in
Now 200-2 32 overs gone, 13 run required, Root on 98 and I’m going home…
We won by 8 wickets. Root 100 no.
Easy.

I didn’t realise that India lead Pakistan 9-0 in World Cup games and, apparently, each one has been a comprehensive Indian victory!!
Comedy fielding moment, Rahul tries to steal a second, Rohit sends him back, both are down the non-strikers end.
Pakistani fielder throws the ball to the the non-strikers end when he should have thrown to the keeper.
Result, no run out.
Mercurial Pakistan at it again…
are 53-0 after 10 overs
