  1. Sri Lanka win toss and bowl
    Breaking

    England will have to do it the other way round today.

  2. Time to head out to the middle for the toss...

    England have chased in all three of their games. They'll have to win the other way at some stage you would think.

  3. Afternoon!

    England have been faultless so far and have absolutely steamrolled West Indies, Bangladesh and Australia.

    Today they take on Sri Lanka and a win would practically guarantee a place in the final four.

    It can't mathematically because South Africa and Australia would still be able to join them on eight points, but England's net run-rate is huge and it would take something ridiculous for them to miss out.

  4. Superb. Magnificent. Spellbinding. Outrageous.

    Those are just a few of the words you could use to describe England at this World Cup.

    Can they practically seal a semi-final spot today? Let's find out.
