[Ahmed216]

It’s a great batting pitch still it’s going to be tough for England

 

[emranabbas]

This should be a walk in the park for England

 

[7sins]

First 3-4 overs is the key England should attack as pak did yesterday

 

[Savak]

Let's see if this hyped England batting line up can actually adopt their bazball approach in a run chase in a WC Semi Final

 

[jattafridi]

Need 53/0 in pp

 

[emranabbas]

Indian bowling is average

 

[Aman]

England will go hard in the PP.

 

[CricVet]

Eng should not have any problems winning if they are careful against spin. On such a small ground, they will have many opportunities to score max

 

[Mainul]

At least India can fight now. England has to bat very well to win.

I think India is favourite here.

 

[jattafridi]

Can they handle semifinal pressure

 

[emranabbas]

Will be around 60/0 by the end of PP

 

[Devadwal]

Qeasy win for England .55/0 in PP

 

[alone1213]

Lol bhuvneshwar trundler got scared.

 

[rhony]

Haha. That's not a wide

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

444 by Buttler

 

[alone1213]

LOL keeper standing up to bhuvneshwar hahaha.

 

[Ab Fan]

Lol Bhuvi became a spinner even before bowling one ball.

 

[jattafridi]

Arshadeep is so good

 

[alone1213]

Let's go England.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Lol Bhuvi became a spinner even before bowling one ball.

Yeah

 

[90MPH]

Bhuvi needs to keep bowling Inswing to Buttler.

Outswing is only feeding him.

 

[CricVet]

Looking easy now...probably until the spinners get introduced

 

[topspin]

This is like chasing 280-300 in an ODI.

Certain doable with England's batting line up but that's a tough chase in a semi.

Chris Jordan should never play for England. He's a liability.

 

[alone1213]

Camera work is horrible in this match.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Eng 9/0

 

[Aman]

Excellent start so far.

If these two get going, they could end the game in the PP like Pakistan did last night.

 

[Geil]

The only strong team that India have beaten in this WC was pak, which Ind won due to their batting

Indian bowlers failed against RSA, although they did not have much runs to play with in that match

They looked weak against Ban, which is not at the level of PAK & RSA

Cant say till now Ind bowlin have been their strength

A very big test for INd bowlers today, their current form shows they are not capable of winning this

But anything can happen in SF

 

[rhony]

Too wide from BK. Good shots from Butler

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

India are favorites for me. Chasing in a semi final is not easy. Butler is susceptible to pressure and he is vital.

 

[emranabbas]

Need 2 more boundaries this over

 

[Aman]

India only won that due to Pakistan bottling it.

 

[topspin]

Defensive lines from BK. Strange way to start proceedings.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

13/0 after 1 over

 

[alone1213]

13 off first over. Let's go.

 

[rhony]

Jaffa indeed!!

 

[Aman]

Buttler is class.

 

[MP2011]

What a poor over

 

[jattafridi]

Wicket is coming

 

[90MPH]

Good start for England. Long way to go though.

 

[Aman]

Hales is going to go hard as well.

Not going to get easier.

 

[Ab Fan]

Bhuvi always flops in ICC tournaments. He is another guy who is rated very highly in this format only due to T20 bilaterals performance but has nothing to show in World tournament.

 

[rhony]

Good shots all three. Too wide and then on the legs. Too ambitious to swing it away from leg stump

 

[topspin]

Buttler played that first over tremendously but that was awful bowling from BK.

 

[alone1213]

Arshdeep guy is only good for one over only if it swings.

 

[Aman]

That was a poor over from BK.

That said Buttler hit the gaps really well.

 

[daytrader]

Good start for England. Hoping they don't spoil the party to come

 

[emranabbas]

At this rate England will be 80/0 after powerplay

 

[7sins]

need to attack arshdeep here

 

[90MPH]

Hales is going to go hard as well.

Not going to get easier.

Hales is vulnerable early on though - tries to hit the ball too hard and can be his undoing. But if he gets going then hard to reign him in.

 

[Aman]

Good shots all three. Too wide and then on the legs. Too ambitious to swing it away from leg stump

This is following the same script as last night minus the strong finish.

Just need the dropped catches.

 

[rhony]

Bhuvi always flops in ICC tournaments. He is another guy who is rated very highly in this format only due to T20 bilaterals performance but has nothing to show in World tournament.

Could be his last tournament now that India has another swinger in Arsh. Bumrah in and BK out. Need a pacer instead of Shami. Maybe Umran Malik

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Buttler 16*(7)

 

[Aman]

Outfield is lightening fast.

 

[7sins]

outfield is so fast

 

[90MPH]

Indias spinners are going to decide this match.

Don’t think their seamers have enough quality.

 

[CricVet]

Ind needs to bring spinners early to make it competitive

 

[Aman]

Rohit needs to bring on the spinners to try turn this.

Kane made the mistake of not bringing on Santner early when Pakistan got off to a good start in the PP.

 

[rhony]

This is following the same script as last night minus the strong finish.

Just need the dropped catches.

That pitch was right up Pak's alley when they batted yesterday. Have to see how the PP goes here

 

[Aman]

Buttler missed out there.

 

[rhony]

LOL!! Kohli's warning shot

 

[Gullycricket]

Kohli starting drama

 

[7sins]

decent start by eng

 

[rhony]

Decent start by the English.

 

[Spitfire]

England's got this. Boys are bringing it home.

 

[90MPH]

Better over by Bhuvi but you need to take wickets.

Wasted the first over when it was swinging.

Arshdeep should have bowled it.

 

[Geil]

This match going to show everyone Rohit"s captaincy

crunch pressure match, will his decision be success or fail

 

[Ahmed216]

India needs wickets. Can’t contain its a great batting pitch and fast outfield

 

[Champ_Pal]

England did not look confident so far. But still scoring at 10.5rpo.

 

[CricVet]

Hales just unfroze his arms. He is warming up for big shot

 

[Robert]

Buttler has gone off like a rocket.

 

[CricVet]

And he did

 

[rhony]

Slower ball seems to be gripping a bit. Need more of those

 

[jattafridi]

After 10 overs score should be Eng 83/2

 

[90MPH]

What a 6 by Hales.

Not a bad ball by Bhuvi - just a great hit.

If he gets going then India are not winning.

 

[Aman]

This game quickly getting away from India.

Bring spinners on early or risk losing the game in the PPs.

 

[7sins]

what a shot by hales wow

 

[Gullycricket]

England did not look confident so far. But still scoring at 10.5rpo.

Oh really they don't look confident

 

[rhony]

Lovely shot that!! Wrong length from BK.

 

[hamzie]

i dont know how we will beat england in the final
happy for shared trophy now
