Looking like the rain could put England out of the chance of cricketing glory .No time to replay so India go through if no play .Forecast is heavy rain .Farce Extra day allocated for one semi but not the other 🤷♂️ It's mad that this can happen still in today's modern age when all permutations have been done before many times, don't they do a lesson learnt after cricket tournaments ?

I can’t fathom cricket out as much as I love it This sort of stuff turns people away from it rather than embracing it

By eck that's a hammering dished out by the Saffers.
Lots of complaints bout the pitch from what I read.
Still, a good tournament for Afghanistan.

One of the problems with world cricket is that it is completely dominated by India and whatever the BCCI wants, they get. You can see that by the way the ICC revenue is distributed with nearly 40% going to India. The other 11 Test playing nations get 50% to share between them and the smaller nations get 10% to share. In this tournament, India have had the advantage of knowing in advance where all their matches would be played regardless of results, and they have had all day games to suit their TV schedules.

Two hours until play is due to start and half of the outfield is currently under water.
I hope South Africa batter them in the final.

Well it looks as though we are going to actually get some play. Personally on a slow low turning wicket like this I would prefer to bat first but Buttler always wants to bat second so hopefully we can restrict India to a manageable score.

England have gained a slight psychological advantage now. They have nothing to lose because if it rained all day they were out, so any match is good, and they've won the toss, and they are under less pressure. I fancy us more now...c'mon lads!

Looks a tricky pitch, wouldn’t want to be chasing anything above 160.

Honours even so far I'd say... Yep, this is the partnership that could well decide the match. If these two stick around for a while they can take India towards 180 which would be a tall order for us on this pitch. If we can get them quickly after the restart there’s nothing to fear from the rest of their order.

The fuck is going on here? Get the game going FFS Yeah this is the part of cricket that's really annoying. Is the ground really going to dry that much in another 15 minutes? I'll bet as soon as they get out there again it will start raining.

I think India are batting us out of the game which is exactly why I wanted us to bat first.

Curran needs to bowl length he's not fast enough to bowl short

Big wicket, Rohit wouldn’t have hit that if his bat was 12 inches wide

These last 3 overs from Jordan and Archer will cost us the match.

172 to win which is about 15-20 more than I feel comfortable with. On that surface I just don't understand why Moeen didn't bowl at all.
