224 to win.
Easy!!!

Excellent bowling to get them out for 223.

So far your predictions have been perfect. I hope you’ve been putting bets on.

Afraid not, my predictions are just for fun. It wasn't difficult...England have been the top ODI side for a while and I've been very impressed by the team's confidence in their abilities
224 chase obviously England are favourites. It's all down to the start. 30-40 without loss and see off Starc's opening spell and I think it's in the bag

We seem to be doing OK...

That Roy decision was bloody ridiculous. Very poor umpiring.
Buy Roy smashing Smith for 3 sixes was glorious.

Our own fault too, though, Bairstow burning the review needlessly.

Stuffed "em

Hopefully Roy won't fall foul of the umpire's decision IF there is an inquiry into his (understandable) outburst. Nice one, Australia. No sandpaper, but things haven't changed.

Well, done, England. One match to go!

 

[AndyRM]

That's an absolute battering.

There are quite a few new cricket fans in the office now, most of whom are struggling with the concept of a Scot not only liking the game, but wanting England to win.

That was much enjoyed

It was poor but equally Roy got away with one in another game (was it Australia too?) when he gloved one through to the keeper and didn't walk and umpire didn't give him out. I wonder what they will do about his dissent though?

What a fantastic day for English Cricket and a big psychological blow against the Aussies ahead of the Ashes.

Let’s hope we can finish the job on Sunday and win the tournament

Two colleagues have spent a lot of money on tickets etc..and taken today off to watch India play, I think they may be a little disappointed

Roy has been fined but not suspended. Given that he was picked up on the stump mics shouting "This is f***ing embarrassing" at the umpires I think he is very fortunate indeed. Presumably there was heavy lobbying of the ICC by England's management
