Stumps for me again Heather!

I mean…I was wondering if it was set or yet to be announced…

I presume they’d prefer to play second and have more time to know who they’re playing.

England 3-33.
The stupid fat bastard is still there, so that’s another win for India.
England are proper, proper farked now.

Oh England. Root makes a golden duck and then Stokes makes a duck off 10 balls. The shot Stokes played was an absolute shocker.

They must be sitting in the sheds thinking…we probably, probably should have seen off Bumrah and Shami, huh…

If England lose this match they could drop down to…oh…never mind…

The Champions Trophy feels like a relic of the past. I’m actually surprised it hasn’t been axed yet.

It is however the one “global” tournament that South Africa has won in men’s cricket lmao!

Another moral victory for England.

I stuck around for a bit longer, long enough to see Root go for a golden duck. At that stage l knew England were in trouble, but l didn’t know how much. I thought if Stokes could come in and make a quick fire 50, it would swing the game back England’s way, but it wasn’t to be. India winning was not a surprise, but the margin was. Poms are playing without any heart, l mean their bats aren’t.

Same goes for NZ.

Fun fact: NZ sit only behind Australia for the team with the most ODI WC wins. Amazing that they’ve never been able to win it.

Yep, yet another subpar rank crumbling turner last night allowed those renown spinners Bumrah 3/32 and Shami 4/22 to run through England.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Mott is axed as soon as the tournament is finished. Something has clearly gone wrong in the camp- none of the players look like they care one bit

Picking an unchanged side when you have just been hammered is terrible.

He may be a great women’s coach, but apart from the T20 WC last year, he has done nothing of note in the men’s game

There is nothing more certain than India choking in the semis; you can put the house on it. It’s India’s tournament to lose now.
