Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraThere's been a lot of talk about which team can compete with India and we've forgotten about South Africa and Australia a bit. But New Zealand have been the team we've all spoken about, so this could well be a taster of the final.
We do need to see how New Zealand match up against a strong India side.

Not much of a crowd in yet as the players enter the pitch. Almost time to get rolling.

That's 10 months of his life just in ODIs. Add in the Tests, T20s, first-class matches, school games, games in the park, the hours and hours and hours in the nets...
How much of his life has been spent playing cricket!

Virat Kohli is playing in his 300th one-day international. That's an awful lot of cricket and he's scored an awful lot of runs.
Will he guide India to their third Champions Trophy win?

Media caption, Champions Trophy highlights: South Africa v England
South Africa routed England on Saturday to secure top spot in Group B. If you missed it here's a thakfully brief summary.
Win or lose?published at 08:49 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March
The equation is fairly simple - whoever wins this game will face Australia in the last four, with the losers taking on South Africa.
Who would you rather play?!
'We were going to bat'published at 08:47 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March
India captain Rohit Sharma: "We were going to bat first anyway, we want to see what we can do up front and then challenge our bowlers later in the match.
"The approach is very similar, we want to win the game and do things right. We will be focused on that, we want to do things which will be useful for us in the coming games.
"In both games so far we have picked up wickets which is a good sign, our spinners have played their role and restricted the opposition, it's about bowling in partnership."
'We want to see if we can put pressure on'published at 08:46 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March
New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner: "We're going to have a bowl. It looks like a pretty good wicket. We've seen a couple of games here and let's see if we can put a bit of pressure on here.
"We still want to win. We want to play some good cricket. We know we're going to be in Lahore on a pretty different surface, so I think our job today is to do our job out here and see what happens.
"We've got one change, Daryl Mitchell comes in. Unfortunately, Devon Conway misses this one."

Image source, ReutersIndia and New Zealand have already booked their passage into the last four of the Champions Trophy.
India will face either South Africa or Australia in Dubai on Tuesday, while New Zealand will take on the other half of that duo in Lahore 24 hours later.
Today, they meet to decide their opponents and perhaps lay down some psychological markers...
