    Pakistan's 2 wins were chasing down 236 today, and 219 vs SA (which they won through D/L)

    If England get 300+, then I really can't see Pakistan having the hitters to score at 6 an over

    We will beat Pakistan by an innings.

    Now here's a bizarre situation. The Times reports that there will be thousands of empty seats for England's semi - even though it is a sell out!

    This is due to Indian supporters buying tickets for both semis and it is estimated that this accounts for 38% of the tickets sold for Cardiff.

    CAn they not sell them on at face value?

    They can and there is an exchange scheme but it is run by the ICC and not the ground.

    There were also about 3,000 empty seats at Cardiff for England v New Zealand even though that was a sell out too though the Glamorgan executive are putting that down to the bad weather!

    Imagine what the final is going to be like. Like the last Champions Trophy final here, the vast majority were Indian.

    My dad was Italian - my mother English. He came over here to live when he married her in 1963. He bought advance tickets in 1966 to follow Italy all the way to the final. History tells us they got beaten 2-0 by North Korea! He didn't sell them though but cheered on England to victory at Wembley. Maybe a few Indians will cheer on England!

    Roy surely sealed his fate with the manner of his wicket against Australia, the way he didn't seem to know what to do, and then reviewed without consulting Hales

    He needs a break out of the England team

    Is India lose their semi, I imagine there will be chaos at the ticket centre

    It's not helped by their ticketing system not allowing printing at home

    Then again, they would probably prefer to face Pakistan and beat them in the final!

    Questions have been raised about the poor crowds at Cardiff in comparison to Edgbaston and the Oval. I thought the attendance yesterday was very disappointing

    but they have pretty much been sold.
    They cannot stop them from not turning up once sold

    Pakistan won the toss & England bat first.

    Bairstow in for Roy & Amir out injured for Pakistan with a back spasm.

    Surely England have to win ?

    Very fortunate, he should have been given out by Erasmus.

    If that had been Roy, it probably would have been given!

    Bairstow dropped, it wasn't easy mind.

    Surely he's a good bet for a 100, with this luck ?

    52-1 10 overs.

    A bit harsh to call that a drop

    Agreed - the pace and height meant that nobody was catching that!
