England vs The Terries semi final

Easy win for England imo.....perhaps a double with afganistan later?

Would rather be chasing but Amir missing out is a big blow

[Tony C]

Interesting one...Pakistan are much better batting first and then applying max pressure later...whenever they chase they always look mentally vulnerable to me..like a couple quick wickets and that's it..not a Windies style collapse but you can get to them.

Yep. One thing for certain - if Roy had played he wouldn't have got away with that LBW shout. Lucky Bairstow

This is pretty serious. Someone needs to bail us out with a bit of magic and then we need to bowl very well indeed.

Would take 230 in a heartbeat. Early wickets then and we might stand a chance

[Tony C]

230 might be tough with just 3 wkts left :(

We are going to have to bowl incredibly well to defend this. Tough ask.

or they have to bat incredibly stupidly

[Tony C]

If you're going to lose then do it all guns blazing...Pakistan still have to bat on this wicket so England will just have throw everything at them...it's not impossible.

Even if Pakistan cruise to let's say 100 for 1...a few quick wickets will have a big effect and just get them over thinking the situation.

We've got ourselves into a little bit of a pickle here, haven't we?

Latest odds at the interval...

England 2/1
Pakistan 4/9

So people aren't all that confident about Pakistan here
