I think they've hit the highest heights of stupidity already.

FFS england are going to win this thing
Such pointless pitches.
So hard to defend on these pitches and grounds . Toss is going to be huge

England’s batting is too good. With the pitches & small grounds, I’d back them to chase down any target.
Fingers crossed, this isnt the garbage served up in the world cup.
England won't win the WC.
Not sure what's surprising. Pakistan bowling conceding 350 twice or Pakistan scoring 350 twice.
Wicket taking bowlers are going to be massive in this WC . India did the right thing by ditching Ashwin and banking on wrist spinners . You can't defend any score bowling good length on these pitches
At least they won't go down being the most boring team in the competition
England are really good at chasing a total, but not convinced by them defending one.
Really? I find this really dull.
Having semis directly works to their favour. Would've been nice to see quarter finals as well.
You can't mug good teams like the way they do in crunch games. Good bowling should come to the fore unless the conditions are really bad.
Strange thing to say considering they are number 1 in the world and I am pretty sure England have won more games defending totals than most other teams.
Morgan has been banned for the next ODI, guess Buttler will come back for him and captain the side
just why do you do this!Imam looks in real pain
30 overs in
Less than 6/over at Trent Bridge. Not sure that’s enough.
Need a big acceleration this next 20

58 runs of the last 10 overs not lost a wicket, need to treat the last 15 overs as a t20
I don't think run rate is good enough on this pitch
Good shot that
Never seen anyone smash their own stumps like thatmanaged to secure 2 free tickets to Australia v New Zealand in the WC through a friend who is working for it. result.
England have exploded a few times here (vs India notable), but that looks at a minimum 60 runs light if not 100.
If Roy stays in for any period of time 341 is no trouble, saying that Vince, Root & Denly don’t have the power of Hales, Bairstow and Morgan who were key when England made the record 481 on this ground
Still no closer to knowing which bowler will miss out, Wood and Curran bowled well. Willy offers left arm which might leave Plunkett as the one who misses out

Pioneers of modern day batting. England should follow in their footsteps.
Playing on roads with 20 yard boundaries might have helped.
And could well lose all of them
Both indicate its going to be a snooze fest World Cup. Shame really as I was looking forward to it. Been off work watching a few of the England v Pakistan games on the telly. Have literally dozed off watching both teams batting.
Pakistan should win from here.
Hope the good version of Moeen turns up here
Junaid Khan must be the only player in all WC squads that can't bat, bowl nor field.
Classic club player. Does it off his own bowling
Are we letting Pakistan have this one?
