Cricket: England vs Pakistan 08:36 - Jun 14 with 12806 views | Reuser_is_God | 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. | |

Cricket: England vs Pakistan on 09:03 - Jun 14 with 7608 views | Radlett_blue | Roy simply had to go. 68 runs in his last 9 ODI innings? He was also batting as if he'd lost confidence & shot selection had gone haywire. Bairstow has been in great form & this change has to be a positive. | |

Cricket: England vs Pakistan on 09:05 - Jun 14 with 7604 views | Samuelowen88 | We should smash it. However i'm expecting it to come down to the last over. A bowler to smash a 6 for the win. | |

Cricket: England vs Pakistan on 09:33 - Jun 14 with 7564 views | WD19 | Depends on the pitch. If it is a road we will annihilate them. If it is 2-paced and a bit slow then it could be a bit more squeaky. Prediction: England by 96 runs or 4 wickets. | | | |

People worry about splitting a settled pair of openers, but with a player (especially one whose only contribution is with the bat) that far out of nick, replacing him can only be a positive. Especially with someone as good and as ferociously in form as Bairstow. | |

Cricket: England vs Pakistan on 10:07 - Jun 14 with 7523 views | The_Romford_Blue | A very interesting one as both sides are capable of beating anyone on their day but also are capable of being beaten by anyone. You'd expect us to win but you wouldn't put your life on it. | |

Cricket: England vs Pakistan on 10:17 - Jun 14 with 7508 views | King_of_Portman_Rd | The Bairstow 'love in' has been a little cringeworthy at times and wouldn't be surprised to see him depart for a low score, his experience opening the batting is limited to county cricket and his figures are bolstered by one impressive knock against a poor attack. He is an incredible Middle order batsmen in incredibly good nick. Roy is an incredible Opening batsmen in incredibly bad nick It looks like a fairly obvious decision but I expect Roy will be back soon and absolutely spank teams around for years to come. My only question is where is Sam Billings? Would have been a decent option to open as well. [Post edited 14 Jun 2017 10:17]

Surprised they didn't fancy a bat first, seems an odd decision when you consider that England could well go an get an impressive score on a wicket that has (generally) been more of a batting pitch in the 1st innings, with a few wobbles and variations later in the 2nd. | | | |
Cricket: England vs Pakistan on 11:11 - Jun 14 with 7432 views | King_of_Portman_Rd | Yorkshire fans must be struggling not to combust right now, Bairstow and Root at the crease together probably has them fit to burst | | | |

They did. Also sounds like it may not be a pitch where you'd expect a 300+ total. | |

Whew i'm not imagining things. And yes sounds like 260/70 is a very defendable target. | |

Yeah, I was going to say that this is going to be more of an old school ODI innings where you keep wickets in hand & go big late on. We need to get through this spell from Hasan Ali too, bowling superbly. [Post edited 14 Jun 2017 12:06]

It will be another raving bunson of a pitch this time at the Oval. Reason for all the empty seats is that Indian fans brought all the tickets for both semi-finals not knowing which ones they will need. | | | |

If you're going to get a low-ish score, it's Pakistan you want to do it against. Root gone. Sounds a bit attritional. | |
