ICC World Twenty20 [18/09 – 7/10] *** Spoilers ***

[Cosimo]

16 from the over, SL 147-5 and two overs left.

 

[Yas786]

154-5 Broad getting nailed for a 6 there.

Looks like its game on.

 

[Yas786]

161-6, Broad gets a wicket.

 

[Cosimo]

Another wicket, 161-6.

 

[Cosimo]

That’s it and England’s target is 169.

 

[Yas786]

SL manage to get 168 on the board, not bad considering they lost their top 3 batsmen pretty early on.

169 to win and for Eng to get to the semi finals.

 

[Yas786]

Hmmm seems like SL got an extra run at the end for some odd reason so Eng are now set 170 to win.

 

[Cosimo]

England away with seven from the first over.

 

[Yas786]

Malinga the Slinga takes SL's first wicket, Luke Wright out.

16-1.

 

[Yas786]

Oh dear almost a run out then Malinga throws the ball and gives Eng 2 extra runs with an overthrow :/

Eng losing another quick wicket, Bairstow out and Malinga takes his second wicket.

18-2.

 

[Hamster]

England falling over very quickly now. 3 wickets for Slinger in one over!! I'd hate to face him!

 

[Yas786]

Eng with another wicket gone 18-3

 

[Cosimo]

Patel leading the recovery. 50-3 from seven overs.

 

[Yas786]

Mendis gifting Eng runs now...50-3

 

[Cosimo]

Dang, Morgan out 73-4.

 

[Yas786]

SL with another wicket, Morgan out the dangerman 73-4.

Seems like only Patel is propping up Englands innings

 

[Yas786]

And another falls, 76-5, this time Bopara.

England looking likely to be going out at this rate.

 

[Yas786]

92-6 for with Malinga taking his 4th wicket. Patel with 50 not out, the only bright spark of Englands innings.

Malinga with 4-10 off 2 overs

 

[Yas786]

And another falls just as quick, 93-7, Broad out.

 

[Yas786]

144-8 with Malinga taking his 5th wicket in the game...stunning bowling from him.

Patel out and Swann gave England some hope but i reckon its all over now.
