[Don Karleone]

Great start

Will Woakes take a wicket in this World Cup? He’s a terrific bowler in England. Not so effective abroad.

Horror start from Woakes.

The key will be ensuring they don't get off to a flyer, we need that run rate to keep creeping up so they never get in a position to comfortably tick it off. It's a solid enough score to defend if we bowl well, and their batting lineup is certainly weaker without someone like Williamson who can just drop anchor and see a chase like this through.

Agreed, Woakes needs to just tie that end up & let Curran go to work

Horror start from Woakes.

Will be interesting to see how Wood bowls. The extra pace could be a negative on this pitch, he might have to take a fair bit off.

Bloody hell Woakes. 5 decent balls then that?

Willey always gets shafted in the England set up he is one of our best opening bowlers who can get the ball to move!

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Surprised that Topley wasn't picked. Is he fit?

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

Horror start from Wood.

This won’t take long.
