Group A: Australia (212/3) beat Canada (211) by 7 wickets (91 balls remaining).
Canada were scoring very well initially - about 10 per over for the first few overs!

If Bangladesh win, they are through and WI will be out if they lose to India. What a topsy turvy match. Note if Bangladesh beat South Africa; and West Indies win, tie or draw with India, then England are out.

Group B: South Africa (284/8) beat Bangladesh (78) by 206 runs England and India are through, and Bangladesh are almost certainly out (they will need West Indies to lose very heavily to India tomorrow).

If Bangladesh win, they are through and WI will be out if they lose to India. Why the shock? It was a must win game for England and we've performed better against the better sides. In fact the level of the opposition seems (from someone who hasn't watched any of the matches, live or highlights) to have determined the England performances. I would have been shocked if we hadn't qualified.

As an England supporter, it's been a thrilling tournament so far. For everyone else, possibly apart from Irish fans, it must have been as dull as dishwater.
Only a few more days, and the tournament-proper starts.

Second QF: India (261/5) beat Australia (260/6) by 5 wickets
India thus play Pakistan in the second semi final next Wednesday. It also means that for the first time since 1996, the winning team will not be Australia.

Third QF: New Zealand (221/8) beat South Africa (172) by 49 runs
South Africa thus keep alive their record of never winning a WC knockout game. Apparently, this was NZ's first WC knockout-game win.

Fourth QF:
England: 229-6 (50.0 overs) Sri Lanka: 231-0 (39.3 overs) Sri Lanka beat England by 10 wickets
England set decent batting total, and are then made to look like a bunch of jaded lemmings in the field with openers Tharanga & Dilshan both achieving centuries.
