Match 39, Riverside: Sri Lanka 338-6 (50) Fernando 104, K Perera 64; Holder 2-59 West Indies 315-9 (50) Pooran 118, Allen 51; Malinga 3-55 Sri Lanka win by 23 runsMan of the Match: Avishka Fernando A dead rubber with both teams eliminated but an entertaining game with the West Indies threatening to pull off the highest successful run chase in World Cup history. The turning point came when Angelo Mathews, who hasn't bowled competitively for 18 months, was brought into the attack in the 47th over and removed Nicholas Pooran with his first delivery, leaving the Windies 8 down and unable to recover.

Pooran being bowled was the end, the turning point was Pooran running Allen out on 51, between them they looked capable of something special! Was that Allens first game, maybe should have played him more? Man it was a long day, started at 10.30, and was still going as we left at 6.45, both teams slow with the bowling. Another very entertaining game though, especially for a dead ru bet.

Allen played against India as well. Didn't take a wicket and was out first ball.

Meanwhile, the women's Ashes gets underway today. Like it has been since 2013, it's being played as a multi-format series. There are 3 ODIs with the winner being awarded 2 points. That's followed by a one-off test match with 4 points (previously 6) for the winner, and then 3 T20s to finish. In the event of a draw, tie or no result, the points are shared.
Australia won the last series down under and need 8 points to retain the Ashes, England need 9 to take the trophy back.
2 July, 1st ODI: Leicester 4 July, 2nd ODI: Leicester 7 July, 3rd ODI: Canterbury 18 July, Test: Taunton (4 days) 26 July, 1st T20: Chelmsford 28 July, 2nd T20: Hove 31 July, 3rd T20: Bristol

Last I heard the women were 26-4? I've just watched the highlights of the Windies v Sri Lanka game, and blooming Rihanna was there, stood on her posh balcony almost right behind us, didn't recognise her as she was fully clothed...

Match 40, Edgbaston: India 314-9 (50) Rohit 104, Rahul 77; Rahman 5-59 Bangladesh 286 all out (48) Al Hasan 66, Saifuddin 51*; Bumrah 4-55 India win by 28 runsMan of the Match: Rohit Sharma India confirm their semi-final place though once again their middle order batting was less than convincing after Rohit and Rahul had put on 180 for the first wicket. Bangladesh's tail rallied to give them a glimmer of hope after Shakib Al Hasan's 66 but Mohammed Saifuddin ran out of partners at the end. The result means Bangladesh are eliminated and it's 2 from New Zealand, England and Pakistan to complete the semi-final line-up.

Standings: 1. Australia (Q) 8-14 (7 wins) (1.000) 2. India (Q) 8-13 (6) (0.811) 3. New Zealand 8-11 (5) (0.572) 4. England 8-10 (5) (1.000) ------------------------------------- 5. Pakistan 8-9 (4) (-0.792) 6. Sri Lanka 8-8 (3) (-0.934) 7. Bangladesh 8-7 (3) (-0.195) 8. South Africa 8-5 (2) (-0.080) 9. West Indies 8-3 (1) (-0.335) 10. Afghanistan 8-0 (0) (-1.418) The winner of New Zealand v England tomorrow will qualify for the semi-finals. New Zealand would be through with a tie/no result. Pakistan would have to win their final match against Bangladesh on Friday to stand any chance. If England beat New Zealand, Pakistan would need a huge win to overhaul New Zealand's net run rate (unlikely unless England also beat New Zealand by a huge margin). If New Zealand beat England, a Pakistan win by any margin would be enough to finish in the top 4.

England well on top against New Zealand and on course for the semis. Scored 305 when set for a lot more at one point but New Zealand have struggled from the start of their innings, with 2 run outs adding to their woes. Currently 129-6 in the 29th over.

Match 41, Riverside: England 305-8 (50) Bairstow 106, Roy 60; Neesham 2-41, Henry 2-54, Boult 2-56 New Zealand 186 all out (45) Latham 57; Wood 3-34 England win by 119 runsMan of the Match: Jonny Bairstow England qualify for the semi-finals with a comprehensive win over the faltering New Zealand. England looked set for a huge score after another terrific start by the openers with Jonny Bairstow hitting a second consecutive century. But New Zealand's bowlers restricted England in the second half of the innings to leave themselves chasing a reachable target. New Zealand's top order struggled again and once the 5th wicket went down, the key aim became to try and bat out the overs to keep the net run rate beyond Pakistan. They failed to do that, meaning Pakistan can still overtake them, but only with a very one-sided win over Bangladesh. England's win mean they are in the semi-finals for the first time since 1992.

The only way Pakistan can overtake New Zealand is if they bat first, make about 400, then bowl Bangladesh out for under 100. If Bangladesh bat first, it will be impossible for Pakistan to finish in the top 4.

Match 42, Headingley: West Indies 311-6 (50) Hope 77, Lewis 58, Pooran 58; Zadran 2-73 Afghanistan 288 all out (50) Alikhil 86, Shah 62; Brathwaite 4-63 West Indies win by 23 runsMan of the Match: Shai Hope Afghanistan gave probably their best batting performance of the tournament but the regular loss of wickets prevented them recording their first win, with the Windies' victory already assured before Fabien Allen's spectacular Ben Stokes-style catch off the final ball of the match. Afghanistan end the World Cup with 9 defeats out of 9. The Windies could still finish 8th if South Africa lose to Australia on Saturday.
