ICC Cricket World Cup 2015

South Africa topped 400 for the second consecutive match, reaching 411-4 in their 50 overs.

Ireland all out for 210.

The South African batting line up seems to be in great form.
De Villiers, Du Plessis, Amla, Duminy and Miller have all had big scores already in this World Cup.

At least Ireland's innings recovered from 48/5 otherwise their defeat to South Africa could have been one of the biggest losing margins ever by runs. The ODI record is 290 which was by Ireland themselves against New Zealand in 2008 and the World Cup record is 257 by Bermuda against India in 2007.

Scotland v Bangladesh starts at 10pm..
And Scotland has a decent chance of winning this one.

Scotland batted well and made 319. But Bangladesh managed to win with 11 balls to spare. Bangladesh 322 for 6

Finn is also a big problem. He's a fast bowler who doesn't bowl fast. England badly need some variety in their attack. Tredwell?

26th match of the World Cup

They've made this competition drawn out.
We are having to wait till Monday morning till England's next match.

And the final match is at the end of March.

Yes very drawn out. They make as sure as they can that matches aren't played at the same time and compete for the same TV audience, but mostly that means only one match a day.
