Woakes isn't in the England T20 squad and the ODIs don't start until Fri 8th so in theory he could play but can't see it. Mo Ali is in the IT20 so forget him. Hain I reckon will play for us.

So we will be playing the winner of Hampshire vs Worcestershire.

Would love a Bears vs Pears semifinal.

Yes, please not Hants!

I presume we will finish top even if we lose?

We've been excellent in white ball cricket all season, fingers crossed we get over the line this time round.

More than enough.....Good win!

Happy with our bowlers, OHD is OHD and the spinners accounted for over half the overs so assume its a bit of a turner.

Sorry but never rated him to be honest. If he is an all rounder noticed that he hasn't been given the ball in the one day cup so far. Good fielder though.

Very good win and we do seem to be lucky enough to be in a really weak group.

Decent start!!!!

Looks like the weather will not help us at all today.

Had to leave watching the game at lunch. Just got back and can't quite believe how the score advanced in the afternoon. Superb contribution by Yates Now to get an innings win tomorrow.

Yes we basically got 320 in 60 overs after Barnard was out. Proper Baz Ball style......

Grant Stewart has done this to a few sides down the years, he is dangerous.

Yeah he's an all rounder we've done very well overall on a good track.

The 4 going through in each group is just a deliberate ploy to have more teams still having something to play for in the latter group stages. See also football play offs.

We do have an unfortunate habit of losing at this stage!

A decent score got to bowl well, hopefully the 3 spinners are on form as they have been.

Good luck to Chris tomorrow. Might be the last time he plays a test for England so hope he takes a few wickets.

Ah I didn't realise that was a rule but makes sense.

Also worth noting that Lawrence, who got 58 off 33 in their final group game win, is in the England squad for Thursday. Don't think him or Woakes will be in England line up so presumably him and Woakes play on Thursday, or neither?

Hmmm, you just know Lawrence will be released but not our man!

Hassan was called up earlier than expected by Pakistan so assume he's done for this season.

Also considering no Hain, Moeen, Woakes, Briggs, Miles currently available.

Chris is obviously a great net bowler! Wish he'd just give up on the test team and focus on white ball only for England and us when available.
