Because we're typical England fans and we want more! That's our third highest ODI score in World Cups, it's a great knock and whilst it may have ended up light considering where we were, it's enough to win us this game.

Now limit them to 250 from their 50 overs and we're back to a positive NRR - just!

We don’t just need to win the game, we need to win it by as big a margin as possible. We were beaten so badly by NZ that after the first round of matches we had the worst NRR in the tournament. Given it is likely to be 4 out if 6 of India, NZ, Australia, South Africa, Pakistan and England that qualify, then it’s likely that NRR will be a key factor in qualification. Yes it’s a good score but it needed to be very good, and a very good team would have got a better score from our position (in my opinion of course)

We can't worry about NRR now, it's game 2! Plenty of time to worry about that. NZ qualified ahead of Pakistan on NRR at the last WC but theirs was positive and Pakistan's wasn't. You are guessing there will be a scenario where it's very tight, but it might not turn out that way. If we win our games we'll have enough points not to worry about it.

Only 4 teams had a positive NRR at the last WC, and ours was 1.152 which was the best.

It's early days, we'll probably be near enough back to 0 after this game and then can go and work on it.
