Yes very disappointed. I knew from the moment Wahab Riaz was picked he would get taken to the cleaners and then some.

Annoyed Aussie v New Zealand game was rained off.

Yep - weather could really upset the results. Australia not had a chance to show what they can do.

Was hoping for more from the India vs Pakistan game. So far - England, South Africa, India looking on form.

South Africa are quality, but will they choke when it comes to the crunch?

Think those days of past for SA. AB is probably the leading ODI cricketer right now. However in my view SA are a bowler light to win this one.

Can't look past India, but would love to see England vs India in an utter slogfest, where they hit 370+ off out buffet bowlers and then we have a proper dig to try and get them...

They should replace him with Bairstow. If Bairstow doesn't want to open then open with Moeen and slot Bairstow down the order.

Aye not a bad idea.

England around 20 or 30 short here. I think they need to get some early wickets to get ahead under d/l.

Conditions look tricky windy amd variable bounce.

Expect England to get home from here.

Ross Taylor is a big hitter so that is a great wicket.

Need nearly nine and over....

We should be fine.

Roy's highest score in his last 8 ODI innings is 20. Bairstow has to play from now on.....

Pakistan bowlers especially Hasan were great today. Considering they were 118-6, 219 isn't too bad... Pakistan batting is crap so South Africa are still very much in it.
