    Two very tuneful national anthems, hope it's a great match!

    Shame that SL may not qualify cos I need to hear their anthem again.
    Is it longer than Mull of Kintyre ?

    Some outstanding SA catching, back to the golden age of fielding by the looks of it

    I'm not usually an anthems fan but whoever's singing them this tournament is doing a good job.

    Another really close match, comes down to the fielding imo, South Africa were superior in that department today

    Hate national anthems at sporting events, mute button hit every time.

    Cricket wise another superb game.

    It’s been a success so far, in spite of the weather interruptions.
    Good to see the emergence of a few nations and the fact that all the top boys are not consistent .

    I still stick by England to win but it is still very open based on current form.

    C’mon who is going to win ??

    Does anybody else use ESPNcricinfo app /website for updates etc? It’s absolutely hilarious how bias towards India the reporting is. You’d think they’d actually won today.

    Hadn’t noticed to be honest but will check it out.
    ESPN are an enormous multi National company and perhaps a fair percentage of their media coverage profits are based there ?

    Does that sound as if I know what I’m on about cos I don’t !

    Cricinfo has definitely become more targeted towards the Indian market in recent years. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was run out of ESPN India (if that exists). You can’t blame them really they’re going to get far more traffic from India than anywhere else.

    Oh yes, its absolutely driven by revenue / traffic, still you can see the change over the last 5 years is quite stark.

    Looking like Australia and New Zealand to qualify from this group. Even if we beat New Zealand and Sri Lanka.
