lovely shot for 2
India struggling for quick singles. Its a real weakness in their game
Not only worth another 5 or so runs in the first 10, it makes wickets less likely and loose balls more frequent!

When I’m watching Jofra Archer rattle batters with his pace, he wasn’t as fast as Tasmanian Riley Meredith when they played last season for the Hobart Hurricanes.
Archer often bowls in the high 140s, but Meredith goes over 150kph.
Archer probably bowls straighter, but I think Meredith bowled faster last season in the Shield than anyone in this WC.
Wood has bowled balls at 154 kph, but doesn’t even average 140kph.
Meredith was recorded at 154 kph in BBL.
I wonder whether Meredith could’ve been a better option than NCN or Richardson?

It is good seeing batters taking quick, well judged singles with good understanding with their partners.

Another oldball specialist who might be even better than cummins!

india quite conservative in their approach
they are chasing 337 not 250!
Still they have a lot of fire power

Its one thing Langer has really fixed and we've been a sporting chance even on difficult wickets in tests despite a weak batting side

I must admit I was beastly careless about LOC before this WC, but I’ve loved this event!
I really enjoy all international teams in the one place at the same time.

They used to be the most boring of the 3 formats now its the one place where you see all the skills of the game from test skills to t20 skills!

I never want to see either as VC or Captain again though. We’ve improved our ODI batting.

It will be shocking for English interest in the WC if they lose this game and miss out on the semis.

rohit plays a short wide one well for once. Just a single but that will help

India in a tricky spot
they need to keep the RRR under 9 before the 30th and they need to keep at least 7 wickets in hand
