Afghanistan beat Pakistan. Looking bleak for Pakistan's chances to qualify for semi finals.

Also puts England at the bottom.

England 'jump up' to 9th after South Africa beat Bangladesh. Looking as if India, New Zealand, and South Africa will make the semi finals, with Australia likely to be the 4th.

We've just passed half way in the group stage matches with 23 of 45 played.

Huge easy win for Australia against the Netherlands. England now up to 8th but only by other's losing.

England effectively out. As someone noted there is perhaps an irony that there were 100 balls to spare out of 50 overs after the 33.2 overs their innings lasted.

Narrow win for South Africa but means Pakistan almost certainly out.

Australia beat New Zealand in great match. Looks pretty much certain that the semi finalists are India, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.

South Africa marmalise New Zealand. Their run differential still makes New Zealand likely to make the semi finals but the match vs Pakistan on Saturday will be fascinating.

Angelo Mathews has been timed out. This is the first time ever an international cricketer has been timed out.

Normally, I'd say fine, but the delay was caused by the batsman trying to adjust safety equipment. I don't think we should be putting people in situations where they might be endangering themselves to avoid being given out.

Idiotic decision.

I agree - it is one thing if you simply take too long to get there, quite another is your helmet strap breaks. Had he face a ball there would be no question that he'd have been allowed a 'time out' to replace the helmet, or gloves, or even his bat.

In fact, he did take too long to get there. In the World Cup you get two minutes and even without the helmet strap incident, he was over that.

I think the helmet strap incident only drew attention to the fact that he took too long to get to the crease.
