What are we thinking today then?
It's a tricky one as Pakistan have this knack of being utterly brilliant & can beat anyone, then other teams they resemble a village team.
They have a good bowling attack but our bowlers have been exceptional this tournament so I fancy us to bowl then out for around 250.
Bairstow in for Roy too.

139/3 after 31 overs. It's still 4.5 an over with wickets in hand.
It's ok so far, doubling that score would be nice definitely. |  |

Is it a bit of a minefield though? Not watching it so genuinely don't know if it is or not. If it's the same strip they struggled to get 230 odd against SL I suspect this game is not up yet. England are a much better bowling/fielding outfit than SL, after all. At 250 I suspect we'd stand a very good chance |  | | |

I'd take 220 at the moment. | |

I'm hoping you'll call the win for Pakistan mid-afternoon and spark a spectacular collapse.
220 is probably the minimum to want to defend, I can't see we'll get there at the moment. | |

I'll give it a go. I'm not sure my curse works like that though! | |

Yep, 7 overs to get 40 runs. | |

| Cricket: England vs Pakistan on 13:35 - Jun 14 with 3729 views | The_Romford_Blue |
38 balls left and we are 181-7
You've got to think 230 is the minimum to target from there |  |

Shame Woakes is injured, might have helped in this situation.
England probably need to bat out at 3 an over from here. It's not ideal but too late for much else. [Post edited 14 Jun 2017 13:50]

Who the hell ordered/ prepared this surface? Sounds like Pak have bowled well but our batting strength sounds completely nullified. | |

It looks to me as though it's not a batting pitch at all
In fact, bowling length doesn't look the way forward for bowlers either.
Full length bowling on this pitch would be my approach | |

Pitches are prepared by the ICC, not home groundsmen. | |

Maybe we can up the scoring now Stokes is out....
England will need to bowl well and take their chances; hard Sri Lanka done that they would have won on Monday.
I've not seen much of it but Pakistan have been very good so far. | |

Yeah. But a showcase semi final and a pitch producing a turgid first innings score seems a strange one. | |

I've a theory.... India don't want to play us in the final. | |

211 ALL OUT, not great, like has been said, we need to take our chances now it is our turn to bowl! |  |

211 then. Very disappointing but it is something to defend as this won't be high-scoring pitch - at one point it didn't even look like that. | |

I'd consider having Wood one end and Rashid the other with the new ball. Nothing to lose here and pace off the ball seems to have been the way. [Post edited 14 Jun 2017 14:09]
