Cummins says that he would have batted anyway. Stoinis and Green in for Maxwell and Marsh.
But don't you want to do the opposite of what the opposition want ?
This WC has been a farce on terms of English cricket. Can't set a target. Can't chase one. Been all out for under 175. Haven't posted a decent score. NRR the worst of all 10 teams.
The sooner this shambles is over the better. We will be knocked out by another team winning than by our own efforts today. Best teams in this competition are SA, India & NZ. Expect Oz to get the 4th berth.
I'm going back to bed. No need to see Willey, Wood et al get carted all over the place.
Woakes, having been battered by Warner, gets his man - caught by Willey. With those two back in the hutch and no Maxwell or Marsh that is four big hitters out of the way.

Wouldn't be completely surprised to see SA get the runs though. I have MZ as favourites still obviously but if De Kok can get another big century who knows.
NZ got.a big score v Australia and lost.
They're playing Pakistan though, not SA. It will be a walk in the park for NZ.

Oops!! Shows how awake and paying attention I am!!
Which player currently has the best batting average and the best economy rate in the England squad in this World Cup? The one that hasn't a Central Contract.
Cummins beaten for pace and splices a short one from Wood to Malan at midwicket. With Zampa now coming in, we won't have a better chance of bowling the Aussies out for under 260
At last Zampa is out. He gets done by a slower ball from Woakes and is caught by a running Buttler. To be fair to Zampa he rode his luck and ended up with a very important 29 off 19
