  • Just seen the crowd at the India-Pakistan game today will be 132,000.

    Fucking hell that'll be quiet then.
    The contrast in the noise between the start and finish if Pakistan win would be interesting.
  • Considering all the reports were of a record full house attendance, it looks like there are thousands of empty seats. Not sure how that's happened as they probably could've sold twice the tickets for this.

    Think that they are probably struggling to get in from what has been said so it will be interesting to see how many spare seats there are in an hour or so

    Williamson retires on 78* (107).  Just hope for his sake that this is just precautionary. 
    Williamson has fractured his thumb. The guy is unbelievably unlucky - how many times does a player do that going for a run and you get hit on the thumb without added the protection!

    Saw some stat before tournament started about number of one day tons for each team in the tournament. 

    Was something like 

    England squad 50
    Kohli 46
    Rest of India squad 42
    Pakistan 38

    etc

    Swiftly followed by Iftikhar in the same over for 4 (3). The wheels are coming off for Pakistan

    And now Rizwan bowled by Bumrah for 49 (69)

    From 155-2 off 29.3 to 168-6 off 34 overs. Yet another Pakistan innings where wickets fall in clusters

    To be fair, they were only 4 down when you posted that. Pakistan are the most difficult to predict because, had Rizwan and Babar stayed together, they might have got 350 plus but they will do very well to get 230 now

    Make that 187-8

    We could do with India now knocking off their target in double quick time. We beat Pakistan and they lose to someone else and they are almost certainly out if that were to happen

    This is shocking. Absolutely brainless cricket with 10 overs still to go

    155-2 to 187-9

    192 all out. 8 wickets lost for 37 runs.
  • Embarrassing collapse there. Looked like they might be on for 300 at one point, then don't even get to 200.

    Stadium has already started the party.
  • You can rely on Pakistan to be consistently inconsistent.

    How many players make batting look as easy as Shubman Gill?

    I suppose we want India to smash them now to push down their NRR
