Yeah this game is done unless someone takes a hat trick

We are getting bantered here

Conway is just a run machine in all 3 formats hence why I picked him to be top scorer

We've never replaced Plunkett despite having 4 years to do so, and it's showing here.

Gutted to be missing the action. England need a few quick wickets here.

Surely missing Archer more here?

Yeah Archer is a huge miss but Plunkett was always the go to guy in overs 15-40.

We have injuries but our bowling is nothing special this time and why I can't see us winning it.

That batting isn’t as good either. The top six at the last world cup were a ridiculous ODI batting line up.

This venue is a chasing wicket especially day/night games. Pakistan scored 345 against NZ in a warm up on this ground and they chased it in 45 overs. Let's hope other grounds there isn't as much of a disparity with the toss.

Plus Buttler isn't as good a captain as Morgan.

As can be seen in this game given Curran should have been brought on 5-10 overs ago to try and get some momentum back.

Too late now.

Still, there’s time for us to grow into the tournament and hopefully get to the semis and compete.

Topley has to play next game. He is a wicket taker and with his height difficult to smack. Stokes if fit slots in too. Woakes style of bowling is not suited for India.

Woakes is class in England but always gets smashed about abroad.

To be honest I'm still not sure why we're picking Mo.

I suppose cause it's India but he was rightly dropped during the last WC and he hasn't done anything in this format since then.

His stats are crap.

This is awful.

We need to beat Pak & SA otherwise we won’t make the SFs.

Aus, Ind & NZ will make the SFs. One spot left between Eng, SA & Pak

That's way too early to judge. Last world cup NZ took 4th space by only winning 5 out of 9 games.

England won 6 out of 9 too. Next 2 games are Bangladesh and Afghanistan which will be 2 big wins.

Yeah there will be plenty of upsets to come, especially if the toss does make a big difference.

Proper slapping this

-2.149 NRR for England

Humiliated

Brutal.

Both of those teams are capable of beating England, especially in the sub-continant. Dont count your chickens..

I love England fans, fair play to those who stuck about.

Pak batting first
