Hazelwood's first 6 balls cost him 19 runs, his next 11 balls cost 6 runs, and brought 3 wickets.

WI going to get the sort of total that a really great attack could defend on a good day.

West Indies 157-7

Pollard 44
Lewis 29
Hetmyer 27

Hazelwood 4-39

Australia knocking these off with ease

Australia win by eight wickets.

Warner 89*
Marsh 53

Australians gave Gayle and Bravo a nice send off.

BBC says SA have to win by about 60 runs to qualify.

Could do with about 220. But I suppose England have no gain in protecting Australia, so if they do have to chase, there's no reason not to make a sincere effort to get the target, meaning they could collapse going for a smaller total.

SA going crazy in the last five but left it a bit late.

Still, they have an outside chance.

England need 87 to reach the semi.

132 for Australia to go through.

190 to win.

Roy retires injured. Cramp?

South Africa 189-2

Rassie 94
Markram 52
De Kock 34

England are through.

JB1 could do with some runs.
