Current situation in Group A: NZ, Sri Lanka, Australia definitely through, Canada and Kenya definitely out. Pakistan almost certain to go through unless they lose to both Zimbabwe and Australia and Zimbabwe beat Kenya (and even then it will be down to net run rate).
Group B: Only certainty is that Netherlands are out.

Group A: Sri Lanka (327/6) beat Zimbabwe (188) by 139 runs.
Both sides endured 'collapses' - Sri Lanka collapsed from 282/0 (only 4 runs shy of the highest 1st-wicket partnership in ODIs) to 308/6, whilst Zimbabwe were 116/0 at one point.
Tillakaratne Dilshan managed an incredible all-round performance - 144 with the bat, and 3-1-4-4 with the ball (and was denied a hat-trick by a dropped catch).

I believe this is the second time that Ed Joyce has been on the winning side in an England v Ireland world cup match. It would have been interesting if Eoin Morgan had been fit to play for England today!
Quirky fact: Both of Ireland's group-stage victories in the World Cup have come a few days after a tied match in the same group.

Group A: Sri Lanka (146/1) beat Kenya (142) by 9 wickets (188 balls remaining) Collins Obuya scored the slowest century in World Cup history (95 balls), only to see his brother David Obuya beat the record (104 balls). They were the only two Kenyans to reach double figures (bar extras). Lasith Malinga scored a hat-trick (and conceded 5 wides off the next ball!), and finished with 6/38 (none of his wickets requiring assistance from a fielder). Do you mean half century? I don't see how two players can score a century when the whole team only make 142. I did of course mean half-century. I have no idea if this is the lowest (all-out) team total to include 2 half-centuries.

Group A: Pakistan (317/7) beat Kenya (112) by 205 runs.
4 Pakistanis managed 50s - apparently a World Cup first - and Extras were only 4 away (there were 37 wides!).
Kenya's last 6 batsmen scored the grand total of 2 runs between them.
