    Pakistan chasing 345, going great guns so far, mesmerising viewing!
    Century for Abdulah on his world cup debut!

    Battling through the pain from Rishwan to get his century. Pakistan have played a blinder here!

    It’s a good watch … Riswans cramp seems to be getting better but Sri Lanka’s fielding is very poor

    When Pakistan play India there’ll be 130,000 spectators at the ground and mega millions watching on the telly.
    It’s hard to conceive what the atmosphere will be like at the ground

    Sadly, I'd imagine, there will be few Pakistani fans there.

    Good point !
    With it being a World Cup, don’t they get an allowance ?
    It’s a good size crowd at this current match

    India won’t even let them in the country never mind the ground.

    Good match today Australia vs South Africa. Australia have done what they should have done last game in playing Yorkshireman Josh Inglis rather than Alex Carey.

    For a lad who spent the first half of his life in Leeds, only moving to Australia at 14, he’s got a bloody strong Aussie accent has Josh.

    I’d have hoped he’d have retained some Yorkshire vernacular but apparently not.

    Wouldn't be against him coming home next year. Be odd for someone Leeds born playing at Headingley for Yorkshire as an overseas player mind.

    South Africa doing well. Maybe the Cricket team is going the same way as Rugby Union....

    Stoinis has just been absolutely done by the the third umpire, the glove clearly wasn’t on the bat or touching the other glove

    it’s funny though!

    I was thinking the same. Australia s fielding way below par though, don't see them making top 4.

    India messing around with visas for Pakistan fans and media who wanted to travel, to make sure it was as much a sea of blue as possible.
