Never in doubt and we will win the final
We are the best team, only England can beat England... if we play decent then they'll have to play exceptional to beat us,  the numbers are in our favour, we'll beat them

Weather forecast doesnt look good...

We are the best team but that doesn't mean we will win the final. A bit of luck here and there and the weather could play a part. I was pleased Butler won the toss against India. Nothing is a given but England can chase down any target potentially with a fair wind so what was a good score for India? To be fair, I think the same applies the other way round if India were batting second.

Looks like Malan and Wood both going to be unfit. Wood is a miss although Jordan is decent enough.

Twitter seems to think that they will both be fit. Footage around of wood bowling in the nets and Malan taking a fitness test and batting. 

Although if the weather forecast is to be believed selection may be based on how well they can swim.

Lovely place. 
Enjoy

cmon the boys - unchanged side from the semi. 

cantersaddick

Wood hasn't made it. Would have considered Mills for that pace but Jordan played well on the last game.

Imagine if we had Archer or Topley available.

Good toss to win as well. If it’s rain affected

Absolutely no excuse for a no ball.
Followed by a wide. 
Come on Stokes you are better than that

Did the final in 1992 start with 2 no balls too? 

billysboots

A bit of swing but the radar is off early - nerves ?

suzisausage

Catch by stokes. 45-2 after 7.1

Pakistan putting pressure on us with their running. Getting a fair few twos. Need to break this little partnership 

billysboots

Big ground the MCG lots of spaces to cover for the fielding side 

cafcfan1990

Lovely by Adil, he’s got much better throughout the tournament 

MrOneLung

Good over for Pakistan against Livingstone followed by big wicket for Rashid.
