    18-3 in the sixth over. Both Dilshan and Sangakkara are now out. Jayawardene comes in at five.

    India vs South Africa at MCG starts in 45 minutes.

    SL on the ropes here. Afghanistan are gonna regret letting so many chances slip.

    52-4 in the 13th over.

    SL won by 6 wickets with 10 ball to spare.

    Meanwhile, India are 156-2 off 32 overs with Dhawan 96* against S A.

    India now 227-2 off 40 overs. Dhawan 126* & Rhane 49*

    Philander is off the pitch injured and if the last few overs are anything to go by, there could be some absolute carnage in the last 10 overs.

    Not quite "carnage" but India's total is still a very respectable 307-7 albeit on a good track.

    Meaningful contributions:

    Dhawan 137 (146)
    Rahane 79 (60)
    Kohli 46 (60)

    West Indies ended up bowling Pakistan out for 160 so won by a rather comprehensive 150 runs.

    It looks highly unlikely that there will be any play in the Australia v Bangladesh game as it is still raining and will have to stop in the next 30 minutes or so for even a 20 over match to take place.

    Just wonder how that unexpected point for Bangladesh will effect final table !!

    Obviously happy with the Ballance of the team. We can't lose this, can we?

    You wouldn't think so but if there was ever a perfect time for a minnow side to play England, it's now!!

    No changes is a piss take.

    We will win (surely, right?) but that is no justification for keeping this team on against sterner opposition.

    We need to be pro-active ... not something in the nature of the ECB!

    You could say that, but remember we have been shell shocked by the best 2 sides in the tournament.
    I'm sure the team will retain a positive vibe for this one.

    I don't mind us sticking with this team. Keep the group together, get a win and build confidence and spirit after two tough games against both hosts / two favourites.

    If we somehow lose this one as well, then it's time to make changes.

    The Scots really have no shame when it comes to the outfits they wear.

    Staggering that the same team has been chosen throughout the tournament so far, absolute stubbornness from the management and captain to not give people like hales and tredwell a go when both deserve it.

    We all know once we come up against a decent team the batting and bowling will fold again, like always.

    Managed to only hit the 5th ball for a single against the grenade lobber. Single handedly trying to screw up our run rate.
    The geoff boycott of 50 overs cricket.
