It is not like they're 150/7. 267/6 is still a decent score.

 

As i type, woakes hits a 4

Decent for us too. But way below par for a team like England who goes after 350 plus total to feel safe.

[zen]

SENA teams save at least 20 runs through fielding

Not for great teams. England fancy themselves as great so they have to play the same way.They have already shown in this match they are under immense pressure.

Don't think they can hit 330+ in every wc game.

 

3 wides in the over so far.

On one side you are saying it is not bilateral series so pressure is on so England won't score so many runs and yet you give an example of CT where so called pressure of big tournament should have been on SL.

[nitinbwj]

Eng bowling is rubbish.

[Stan AF]

Jeez....so outside leg.

[zen]

Non SENA teams usually find it hard to compete in WC in SENA unless they have exceptional batting and/or bowling 

[ssurenn]

woakes gone 

[Forward Defence]

SA have really varied their speeds well. Rabada now gets a wicket off a slower one after bowling two quick deliveries earlier in the over.

Pressure is on every side thats what i meant....weaker sides have a lil less 

[vvvslaxman]

They are yet to reach 300 lol 2.3 overs remaining. hahha

[Suhaan]

SA have bowled well

That is how you curb the run flow,by taking wickets

[vvvslaxman]

What NON SENA team crap. India, Bangladesh, Pakistan reached semi final in CT2017. WHich NON SENA team was non entity. Same way in CT 2013 India won the CT. 

[Stan AF]

Plunkett just smashed a short ball.  England can try for 310-320
