Eng to stuff the Aussies, after their defeat against SA they’ll be feeling nervous
Now to keep refreshing the icc ticket site to pick up an Indian supporters ticket for the final
Looking at the C4 schedule there is no cricket highlights tonight, presumably because of the postponement, but SURELY TO GOD they have to show today's game don't they?!

My TV guide says 11pm, after generation porn
Ah ok thanks Radio Times site has 24hrs in A&E on then
Toss lost, England are batting 2nd.
Not sure that's a good thing.
going by past results in this series Aust vs NZ final.
A bad toss to lose.
what are England capable of chasing ?

Not heard much about the wicket but it's meant to be a lovely day here in Birmingham until about 2pm where some light rain is to be expected.
I think much more than 325 will give England a real headache.
Not a bad start.. ¡¡¡
Getting better...¡¡¡
Is the script going to be we get out all their dangermen for single figures, then one of their lesser players gets a swashbuckling 100 to post a reasonable but achievable score - then we defy all expectation by posting the lowest ever chasing score?

Crikey, chief!

Yep, and I can even name the player. Alex Carey, he will smash a ton in 75 balls and take it away from us.
Holy forking shirt balls!
Another down!
Despite my earlier cynicism, Archer and Woakes look pretty much unplayable this morning.

:-O
Just been on a quick call when they were 4/0 and now this WTF!!!

Cracking atmosphere here , amazing start.... Throat sore from booing 😋
Commentator on tms saying 250 is a good target to post on a semi like this.
With England's batting line up 250 seems skittish. Very skittish.
We needed that, the partnership was doing well
Boom!
Woop!
Another...
Will they get to 200?
Maxwell gone, 157/6.
Either this looks good for England or the wicket is horrific and we'll get bowled for under 150.
Will they get to 200?
Depends on whether or not Smith can get them to the end of the 50?
RM.
I claiming that wicket, I went for a piss
Adil Rashid you beauty!

A pessimist is rarely disappointed.

It's the hope that gets you...

Oh yess!
2 in 2!
I really was not expecting this.
Would be nice to finish them off inside the 50 just to effect their belief.
Gone!
Nice
Clouding over here now but not as humid, here’s hoping for a good steady start for England
Driving down to Tignes, following on the BBC txt.
Dare we believe?
I'll believe alright - once we're 170/2 in 30 overs
Getting mobbed by Indians as Anil Kumble has made an appearance behind me, it’s a bit manic!
Run out with the aid of a glancing blow to Steve Smith's nuts. Does it get any better?
Mitchell Starc could be a tad intimidating on this wicket, I think.
just occupy the crease!

just occupy the crease!
You're thinking of a different team, unfortunately... 🙁
Tidy start. Controlled.
But it’s England.......🙈
