Good bowing performance from England, sensational innings by Brook to get them over the line. Probably the best innings of the tournament so far.

Rash and Jofra the obvious stars with the ball but Overton, Jacks, and Curran did very well. I think if England field like they normally do the Pakistan total
Is at least 10 less.

Being rather crap they probably end up winning it.

Ok now this is seriously impressive. But is it the usual SA looking impressive and then getting sunk in the semi/final?

Zimbabwe getting carted all over the park! Surprised they chose to bowl first after the shellacking from the Windies

English spinners held NZ to 159

On this pitch that still feels like a defendable total. Ball is totally gripping and turning sharply.

Well, at least Buttler and Salt didn’t waste too many balls.

Jacks again coming in clutch at the death.

Thank goodness he was able to make it through the game, because I was dreading the headline, “England Jacks Off”
