Yeah mine is the same. Issue with the scorecard. They’ve taken that away now and the picture is fine, just don’t know the score now!

Nawaz and Shadab are going to get Pakistan to a decent total.

Still hoping for a washout for the Eng-Ned game.

I always love to tune in to games played at Dharamsala with the beautiful backdrop of the Himalayas. Bangladesh vs Afghanistan are playing there at 4pm today.

A bit of an earlier start which is good. Probably because they didn’t have to worry as much about it being too hot during the day compared to many other parts of India!

It was a little harsh.

My best mate who has never been to India and I have chatted often about seeing an India v Aus game there. Epic views.

Another rubbish attendance. Really does feel like ODI cricket is on life support.

Not sure about that. I think this is all on the hosts not turning up for the neutral games. Look at how well the neutral games were attended in 2019 and 2015

Bit disappointing from Afghanistan. Thought they’d progressed more than that

Bangladesh 2/27 after 6.4 overs.

This could be an interesting little chase.

And a sitter (well by gully/point region standards) goes down. Should have been 3 down!

South Africa with the highest ever World Cup total of 429 vs Sri Lanka

Hundreds to de ■■■■, van den Dussen and Markram- who set the new record for the fastest World Cup hundred by bringing up his ton off 49 balls.

Eight sixes from 42 balls to Mendis was fair going, too.

WI 4/30 off 16

Big wicket of S. Taylor taken by D. Brown for 12.

WI all out 83.

Finished with some outstanding Healy glovework.

Big wicket was Hayley Matthews injury. Incredible how reliant they are on one player.

Lawry won’t be happy with that Litchfield dismissal…

Absolute cracker of a catch, though.
