Cricket World Cup group stages, May 30 - July 6

[Arthur Crabtree]

Neesham! The hero. Two runs and a wicket off the over.

Mark Nicholas will be having some dangerous palpitations right now.

Jimmy Jimmy Oh!

[Durhamfootman]

6 runs

England would have lost that. NZ didn't..... and they are almost as big chokers as England

[Arthur Crabtree]

Nearly a six, but caught be Boult on the boundary edge.

Hard luck to WI, that was nearly a thrilling win.

[Durhamfootman]

nearly a six?

Mark Nicholas will be wetting 'em

[Arthur Crabtree]

I bet Hussain in in a studio in the UK right now explaining that Brathwaite just needed to bunt a single and get himself on strike...

Brathwaite heaved a short ball from Neesham down to long on, and for a few seconds it seemed it would go for a matchwinning six. But Trent Boult, on the boundary edge, took a beautifully judged two-handed catch to complete a brilliant personal performance - and complete a memorable victory.

From Guardian obo.

Kiwis giving Brathwaite a lot of love too. What great guys.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Blimey, Chris Gayle bowled a couple of overs. I wondered why the game finished so late.

Carlos Braithwaite got a long overdue century.

[The Professor]

Think what makes Afghanistan's performance today even more impressive is how it came off the back of Monday's humiliation. Shows grit.

Lot of praise for Brathwaite's efforts today but that final shot was just dumb.

Bangladesh can put some pressure onto England by beating Afghanistan tomorrow. If Australia then defeat Eng on Tuesday, Sri Lanka have a chance to ratchet it up a notch in their next game versus South Africa. Assuming no more washouts, both Ban and SL need two more wins to overtake Eng's current 8 point total.

Team India too happy about playing Afghans tomorrow.

1/33 odds. No rain due, so a very likely win.

Not as huge a win as i was anticipating. But still a win.

[meninblue]

Shoaib dropped. I thought Hafeez would also be dropped but not to be. Haris Sohali replaces Shoab and Shaheen replaces Hassan Ali.

No changes for SA from previous match.

Pakistan opt to bat first.

[mikesiva]

Lot of praise for Brathwaite's efforts today but that final shot was just dumb.

Totally agree. Get the single at the end of the over and he would have had the strike in the final over needing four from six balls.

Babar out for 69.

Tahir 2-41.

Opening batsmen out for 44 each.

Harris gets his half century!

[GarlicJam]

Pakistan look on for 300. Good for them.

SA will probably find that hard to chase.

[mikesiva]

Pakistan 308-7

Harris 89

Ngidi 3-64

South Africa have a poor ODI batting line up. I can't see them chasing this down.
