The result means Australia are eliminated and David Warner has confirmed his retirement from international cricket.

Huge win for South Africa yesterday to reach the final, beating Afghanistan by 9 wickets after bowling them out for just 56.
England batting first against India in the second semi. Reece Topley has just clean bowled Kohli in the 3rd over...

Rain stopped play with India 65-2 after 8 overs. If no result is possible, India would qualify for the final by way of winning their Super 8s group.

Not to be for England. All out for 103. 171 turned out to be an excellent score on a difficult batting pitch and once Buttler was gone, there seemed to be no confidence at all from the England batters.
India v South Africa in the final on Saturday.

They might have done a deal to put the final on free TV, if England were in it.
Won't be long until the test matches start.

India win the T20 World Cup after beating South Africa in the final by 7 runs. Chasing 177, South Africa need 30 off 30 balls to claim their first World Cup in any format but crumbled towards the end, finshing on 169-8.

West Indies 61-3 at lunch in the 1st test.
Gus Atkinson bowled Brathwaite in his first over in test cricket and has figures of 2-2 at lunch. Ben Stokes has the other wicket after a very welcome spell of bowling after his injury issues. No wicket yet for Jimmy Anderson on his England farewell.
Lawrence, Pennington and Potts were the 3 players to miss out from the initial 14-man squad.

Now 88-7 and Atkinson has taken 5 wickets on his debut! I hope the game at Trent Bridge is this good next week as I'm there for Days 1 and 2.

West Indies all out for 121. Atkinson finishes with 7-45, which included 3 wickets in 4 balls as the West Indies collapsed from 88-3 to 88-7. Anderson got the final wicket of the innings.

If England declare 150 ahead, this could be over in only 2 days.
Don't know about you guys but there seems to be a lot of players in this West Indies team that I've never heard of. At the moment they look like a test side that isn't any stonger than Ireland.

At the moment they look like a test side that isn't any stonnger than Ireland. It's clear T20 is their main focus now. That said, it's only 6 months since they won a test in Australia. It's a bit surprising they're leaving Shai Hope out of the test side at the moment.

I think their narrow win in Brisbane was a bit fortunate. The match has gone to a 3rd day but my prediction of a 150 lead looks like it would have been enough.

I hope the game at Trent Bridge is this good next week as I'm there for Days 1 and 2. You'll be glad that you didn't buy tickets for Days 3 and 4. Hopefully you should see 2 full days of cricket next week.

All wrapped up before lunch on day 3 with England winning by an innings and 114 runs. Anderson got one final wicket and missed a glorious caught and bowled chance to wrap the match up. But as much as this test was about Anderson's farewell, the star man was Gus Atkinson, who finished the 2nd innings with 5-61, giving him extraordinary match figures of 12-106.

A much more even 2nd test against the West Indies with the Windies even taking a 1st innings lead of 41. But chasing 385 to win, the West Indies collapsed from 61-0 to 143 all out. England win 241 runs and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series with one test to go. Spinner Shoaib Bashir was the pick of England's bowlers today, taking 5-41, the youngest England bowler to get a 5-for in a home test. Root and Brook completed centuries in England's 2nd innings, in addition to Pope's in the 1st innings.

I thought we were in for a close one on Day 5. Those last 17 wickets sure fell in quick time yesterday.
