Stokes out at fine leg.

Covered End

336-7

Stokes 79

Blimey that was close on the front foot.

Callumcafc

Dot ball. Only two runs from the over with one ball left.

Bumrah way too good.

Laddick01

Bumrah is just ridiculous. 

Callumcafc

Single off the last ball.

England 337-7 from 50 overs

India need 338 to win.

Covered End

337-7   50

338 to win

Superb last over to only go for 3 runs.

Sachin Tendulkar said that 315 was par today.  And India have never successfully chased anything beyond 290 in a World Cup match.  

Our batsmen have set up a win.  Let's hope our bowlers can convert it.

Lincsaddick

will be a VERY close thing .. I fancy ENGLAND to win it

MrOneLung

Had a nibble at 3/1 in play betting on India to win. 

Chris_from_Sidcup

Bairstow and Stokes outstanding. Roy superb and Root stuck around when we most needed him.

Shame Buttler couldn't see out the last 3 overs as i think if he'd faced the 9 balls that Woakes/Plunkett did then we'd have about 20-25 more runs.

Still got to be happy with that, i'm sure 337 is more than a lot of people thought we'd get.

Well played Ben Stokes

Now, Archer and Wood - give them some real chin music. Lets knock their heads off.

330 I think is still possible

You pessimistic person !

Is Rahul allowed to bat or does he have to wait a certain amount of time as he was off the field for most of our innings?

North Lower Neil

Get Kohli out early and this should be reasonably comfortable.

Should be.

He can open. 

Callumcafc

Maiden over from Woakes to start.

Defined by the third umpire as an "external injury".  (Definition: their twelfth man is a far better fielder than he is). 

Callumcafc

Can't believe Root's dropped that.

Covered End

Root drops Rohit off Archer.

Laddick01

Root’s had a couple of easy drops now hasn’t he.

carly burn

Shocking from Root there.

Lincsaddick

take the shades off Root .. catches win matches

Callumcafc

Get in Woakes! Rahul c&b for a duck.

8-1 from 2.3 overs

Covered End

Rahul c & b Woakes 0

8-1

Lincsaddick

Woakes shows how to do it

Callumcafc

Out comes Kohli...

The_President

break this partnership early and we are in.
