That it's going to be partly held during the monsoon season indicates that it's a format in trouble. Can't help but think more teams and less matches by having groups would have made more sense.

India win a topsy turvy match with Australia quite easily in the end. After each side has played 1 match, England at bottom of table.

Though each side has another 8 matches to play.

Good win for England but Pakistan's close win over Sri Lanka not the best result for them. League of 10 on this while fair just seems a bit meandering.

Yes makes it really interesting. Huge turnaround for SA given they broke records in their first match.

They were cruising for the first 34 overs of the Dutch innings

Another win for New Zealand who are looking good to make the semi finals, though they have been playing the unfancied teams so far.

And another win for India which sets up match on Sunday between the 2 unbeaten teams so far, India and New Zealand.

Tomorrow has a crucial match with Australia v Pakistan, followed on Saturday by the first in England v South Africa match ups at a World Cup that day.

Not even close. Have to think that their reign as World Champions is effectively over, and hope that the BBC's headline of 'World Cup: Dismal England crushed by superb South Africa' is only used once today

I think the RSA rugby team will look upon 229 as a target.

Fascinating innings for New Zealand vs India. Shami's return for India makes them look clear favourites.
