    281-6, 45.1 overs
    Marsh [23(20)] caught at long off trying to score off Finn. Caught by Root.

    Horrible rest of the over.

    299-6, 46 overs.

    Terrible over from Finn...we won't chase this score down. Bowl fuller FFS!

    Yeah the bowlers (and general fielding) have let us down big time. It's sad, I just don't think any of them have the ability at this moment in time to make things happen when the pitch isn't assisting us.

    We'll have to bat out of our skins to chase the 335-340 total.

    350 on the cards.
  • boogicaboogica
    350 anyone would think they av been out there for 2 days
  • supaclivesupaclive
    Finn carries on bowling it short...4! Fuller...single. They are professional cricketers...England's finest allegedly...
  • CallumcafcCallumcafc
    Good catch Broad at third man as Haddin [31(14)] skies Finn up in the air.

    342-7, 49.4 overs.
  • CallumcafcCallumcafc
    Even better catch next ball from Joe Root at long off to take Maxwell's [66(40)] wicket.

    342-8, 49.5 overs.
  • boogicaboogica
    Some catch from root to get maxwell

    Finn gets a hat-trick to finish the innings. Johnson [0(1)] swats him straight to Anderson at mid off. Most importantly though, that was three dot balls to finish.

    342-9, 50 overs.

    England need 343 runs to win.

    Great end with Finn getting the hat trick and root with that catch. shame before that we had the tactical know how of a village green side.
  • CallumcafcCallumcafc
    We need a century and a two or three quick fifties lower down the order to have a chance of chasing it down...

    Not saying it's wrong to leave Bopara out but having no one to throw the ball to when things aren't going to plan (part timer Root went for 11 in the only over he bowled) does make us vulnerable.

    Was thinking that. The lack of a genuine all rounder in our team is a big factor.

    343 from 300 req. big old ask.

    Highest successful run chase at MCG is 297.
    No-one has ever scored over 300 against Australia in a World Cup game.
    342 is the most runs England have ever conceded in a World Cup game.

    I'd have to say our chances are slim to none.
  • dickplumbdickplumb
    I think we will be bowled out for under two hundred, Johnson with a five for and Starc with three wickets.

    Still cursing the fact that Finch was dropped on 0 in the first over...... he made us pay for that one.

    I'll say they're none to fuck all
  • CallumcafcCallumcafc
    I'm still clinging onto the 0.01% chance just so I don't think getting up to watch was completely pointless.
  • CallumcafcCallumcafc
    0-0, 1 over.

    Australia get their first maiden. Something England didn't manage in their whole 50.
