    I start work at 6pm today. Almost don't feel like I can watch the game in case it goes down to the wire and I miss the last few overs.

    Everyone is late every now and again, Sean...

  2. 'Not the best bloke - but he can bat'published at 09:50 British Summer Time 11 July 2019

    On the evidence of what we have seen so far, David Warner is a much more threatening prospect than the player that was given a year-long ban for ball-tampering.

    He is hungrier, keen to atone and succeed.

    Australia may yet win a fifth World Cup in six attempts, but they are not a great team. They have good players, but the performances of the likes of Warner are papering over some cracks.

    Will Warner continue to weigh in with that amount of runs? If he does, as he gets to the back end of his career, people will say 'he might not always have been the best bloke, but boy he could bat'.

    Australian opener David Warner will cop some flak today - but he's had a fine tournament with bat in hand. Difference maker today? Potentially.

  6. England favourites?published at 09:45 British Summer Time 11 July 2019

    Fast bowler Liam Plunkett says England will be favourites.

    Australia beat England in the group stage but the hosts won their final two matches to reach the semis, while Aaron Finch's men lost to South Africa on Saturday.

    "We're back to where we want to be," Plunkett told BBC Sport.

    "We know when we play our good cricket we can beat anyone in the world."

    England were on the brink of going out of the tournament when they lost to Australia at Lord's, their third defeat of the group stage.

    It left them having to win their final two group games and they prevailed over India and New Zealand, the other two semi-finalists.

    You've just reminded us all that we used to have a BBC Sport cricket bat knocking about the office. Don't know where it went.

    Cutbacks.

    Jack Blackburn: Simply the biggest day in English cricket for 14 years. The excitement. The anticipation. The tension. There isn’t enough tea in the land to calm me down

    BBC Sport at Edgbaston

    Expect a lot of India fans inside Edgbaston today. They were noticeable by their presence in Birmingham last night and plenty have been leaving my hotel this morning. Speaking to a few of them, they say they will be backing England, while a group of New Zealanders say they are supporting Australia. It could make for a curious atmosphere.

    England bowler and BBC Sport columnist

    I've been asked if it's better that we're playing Australia rather than India, but I really didn't mind who we got in the last four.

    Regardless of the opponents, the whole team would have felt the same - up for it, a little bit nervous, desperate to do well.

    What is exciting is to be playing at Edgbaston, which has become a bit of a fortress for us. We managed to beat Australia in the Champions Trophy here a couple of years ago, so hopefully we can have the same result this time around.

    If today's game is half as good as the New Zealand v India finale we're in for a classic.

    The toss is coming up soon - a good one to win for either side for sure.

    How are you all feeling? Get in touch via the usual channels...

    Australia v England

    The first World Cup semi-final may have been split over two days - but my word did it deliver the goods...

    New Zealand held their nerve on a breathless afternoon at Old Trafford to shock India and book their place in Sunday's final at Lord's.

    Will hosts and pre-tournament favourites England join them? Or will Australia once again ruin the dreams of England's cricket lovers?

    Strap yourselves in. Should be MASSIVE.
