    The White Ferns won't have a better chance of making a final now with the WI's upset win over England meaning that England goes home.

    Wow - I'd taken that result for granted.

    West Indies clearly are good enough to be there over England, so that's a big consideration. But I do like our chances a lot better v them. Especially if Taylor is still out injured.

    I am not someone who slags off womens sport but Jesus the quality of what I’ve seen in this tournament is embarrassing- Alex Hartley (ex England and now a really good addition to TMS) reckons that only 80% of the England team are fit enough to play international cricket. With that, the pathetic fielding performance and inability to hit it off the square those players ought to be ashamed of themselves. They’re letting the women’s game down. Actually can’t bring myself to watch it it’s so bad.

    Apparently Joseph, the West Indian opener, was dropped 5 times before England actually caught one.

    Plenty of drops in the NZ v Pakistan game as well.

    7 drop catches by Pakistan IIRC. NZ have some very average catchers too.

    going to be excellent watching today for Pakistan England. Game is poised - could swing either way. Pakistan in front, but not by too much

    Therein lies the challenge for NZ/SA/WI this weekend in the World Cup. The Aussies won't drop anywhere near that number of catches or give so many chances.

    A slightly less ridiculous scorecard than the last test it must be said. Pakistan don’t have much of a lead and England could easily Bazball their way to victory.

    @MN5 only 4 down

    Will be interesting. This pitch seems like it's doing more

    South Africa beat the Aussie women in the World Twenty20.

    Australia are out!

    Didn't see that result happening either.

    They'll still have to play exceptionally well, but the White Ferns have a chance if two of the top order can fire (the usual White Ferns caveat)

    @MN5

    Pakis with their noses in front I reckon. Much depends on Root for England’s chances. If he sticks around then we might nick it. If he goes early, I think we’re fucked.

    It would be funny to have the South African women win a world cup when their men can't

    Can’t see how we survive to 290 odd given how much the pitch is turning. So much better to watch than the last game though

    White Ferns did back in 2000.
