ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

The tournament lasts for about 7 weeks as it is. How long would it last with a reserve day for all 45 group matches?

Were thr press nit - picking yesterday over the bails issue in the BANG V ENG Match on Saturday when one of the Bangladesh player edged a ball onto the stumps but did not dislodge the bails?

Pakistan won the toss and elected to field. Australia have a good start and have reached 149-1 off 23 over. Possible 380 runs?

Australia 308 all out in 49 overs. A good comeback by Pakistan

Yes a good recovery by Pakistan, after Australia were 218/2 after 33 overs and probably wondering if they could reach 400, although the comeback was really all down to Mohammad Amir who finished his 10 overs with 5/30.

Pakistan were 266 all out. Australia won by 41 runs

This morning match is India v New Zealand at Trent Bridge

After yesterday's washout lets hope for better today.

It's England v West Indies from Southampton.

It's 4 matches lost to rain now. No previous world cup has had more than 2. And the weather forecasts suggest that things could get worse.

England opted to bowl. West Indies 60-3 off 15.
