A crushing win for the Windies, whose fast bowlers blew away Pakistan. Chris Gayle surpassed the all-time record for World Cup sixes.

Wonder what shireblogger made of it as I think he was there? Seem a bit one sided today as well, NZ already won, and Afghanistan could collapse for a low score now.

Good on Afghanistan making a few runs, I'm sure Australia will get there easily enough, but we shall see...

Match 6, Trent Bridge: Pakistan 348-8 (50) Hafeez 84, Babar 63, Sarfaraz 55; Moeen 3-50, Woakes 3-71 England 334-9 (50) Root 107, Buttler 103; Wahab 3-82 Pakistan win by 14 runsMan of the Match: Mohammad Hafeez A greatly improved batting performance and some poor fielding helped Pakistan set what would've been a record World Cup run chase. Joe Root and Jos Buttler scored the first centuries of this year's tournament but the latter's departure signalled the end of any real hope for England.

Just realised what a lopsided schedule India have. Still not yet played, but 4 matches in 11 days at the end of the tournament.
Having been at Trent Bridge yesterday, I felt England looked complacent. The bowling wasn't imaginative enough - it looked like they'd seen the West Indies' demolition of Pakistan and decided that all they needed was a couple of bouncers from Archer, and we'd win. Wood was easily our best with the ball. And the fielding lacked concentration throughout, with the honourable exception of Woakes, who was brilliant. Can't fault Root or Buttler, both of whom batted with assurance and confidence.

If Sri Lanka can collapse like that against Afghanistan, it doesn't bode well for games against better teams, it was a great game to watch and not knowing the outcome made it even better! I thought Afghanistan were going to get there at one point, some times teams just need to slow down, you have the overs in hand, but don't have the wickets!

Surely can't be fair?
India playing their first game while South Africa's third.
The scheduling is wired up.
