England still have a decent NRR advantage,

In what fantasy world does the MCG have a roof?

Probably means the Docklands Stadium, but the point still stands.

NRR not massively boosted in the end. Weather could still play a part but ultimately we just need to beat NZ regardless now. Their run rate is worth an extra point at the moment, so a huge win to drag them back into the equation would be nice but they should be fine from their current position.

England have the advantage of knowing what we need against Sri Lanka if we do beat NZ. We play Saturday after the Aussies play Afghanistan. The Aussies would have preferred to bowl first then obliterate the target, but it doesn't always work out that way. I still think England will get through from here, but I don't think we'll win it. South Africa are looking very good on the other side of the draw. I wouldn't be surprised to see a SA v India final.

Buttler stays in for the 20 overs we will get 200+

 

[Don Karleone]

Got away with one there

 

[waspish]

We got plenty of batters coming in as long as Buttler stays in be fine there is only 7 overs left
