Brilliant innings by Stokes to get us over the line.

Great batting from Hales aswell, but after that fudge me! That was way more difficult than it should have been….Shame about Malan, he will be a big miss if not fit. Anyway, did what we needed to do - that’s all that matters…..

Don't know which was best England victory or sending Australia out of tournament.

Proteas blow it yet again
Losing to the Netherlands meaning Pakistan sneak through after beating Bangladesh

England v NZ in the Final this time next week !!

That looked a very dodgy result to me, someone has made a killing in the betting market.

SA & Pakistan do have a lot of previous !!

SA v Netherlands is a bit of a derby TBF, the Dutch would have been well up for it, like Ireland v Eng.

I dont see that, SA and Dutch have a heritage bond, bit like ours with Irish but no record of hostility from either side, unlike us.

I know quite a few Dutch and there is without doubt a rivalry there! Doesn’t have to be nasty for it to still exist.

Hopefully you’re expecting India to be too strong for England aswell….

 

[Grays_1890]

Pakistan were an outside shot for me based on our games out there

We go out tomorrow in my opinion

 

[markysimmo]

Obviously hope we do win tomorrow but a Pakistan v India final at the G would be incredible

 

[harr1984]

Absolutely smashed them….fudge me Hales and Butler were quality!

 

[johnola]

Set your alarms for the 8am start on Sunday!

 

[markysimmo]

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

Sensational batting

 

[K.D.D.D.D.Soc]

Full marks to selectors for bringing Hales back.

 

[Grays_1890]

So so glad to be wrong

 

[parklane1]

Terrific batting.
