With context to other teams openers. He's definitely not good enough.
I think he's pretty good. I'd be more worried about his age/injuries and finding him a decent partner than about the man himself, though he's been poor at this tournament.
Sarfraz should have brought in specialist spinners instead of Hafeez.
Should get 220+ from here which will be a winnable score.
Willamson gone. Now it is Pakistan's to lose.
Pakistan gonna walk this match to victory.
We are winning this!
Williamson gone, surely Pakistan must win this now.
Just seen the score. 
is it the pitch,bowling or shit batting?

Good bowling mostly, though the pitch is helping bowlers too.Just seen the score.

Edgbaston pitch has always assisted the spinners. I can see England struggling against Kuldeep and Chahal. I would even be inclined to play Jadeja and just attack with spinners.
Shadab getting day 5 turn.
England will beat one of us or NZ to qualify over Pakistan.
Crazy game
Amir has 6 overs left. What is he being saved for? Death overs? 
If we get a similar pitch then I can see India outspinning England and winning unless of course our batting collapses and choke.
Yeah, no reason to bowl Imad now when Hafeez has bowled 7.Amir has 6 overs left. What is he being saved for? Death overs?
Poor captaincy that may cost Pak. Instead of going for the kill he is trying to get through overs here. If Nz can post anything above 200 then I can see Pak screwing this run chase.
All of Sarfraz's comments are as audible as commentators. "Bahar kyun kar raha hain, andar kar na".Poor captaincy here from Sarfaraz. NZ are being allowed to get away with their batting collapse.
This won't be easy if they get to 230 or so
Wtf was that
Umpires are drunk
Why the hell did Sarfaraz took that review when the replays showed a clear gap?
Very good comeback. Think they will get close to 240 which will be a tough chase.
How did Pakistan let this happen...
Excellent come back and huge for momentum. Pakistan batters won’t now go out with a buzz and confidence. And it’s a tough track. A tough chase it’ll be.

Terrible captaincy, needed to bring Amir on much earlier to break this partnership.
Good comeback and now stupid running. Never a 2 there.
Rubbish captaincy got what it deserved. That was the match winning partnership.
Hmm this is going to be tough against that New Zealand bowling attack
NZ deserve to be in the semis, everytime they have had their backs against the wall they have delivered.
50/50 match now. If Pak sees off the first 15 overs with just 1-2 wickets down then they should be able to chase this.
Quality innings
237 after being 83 for 5 is unbelievable stuff from the lower order. Fancy them from here.
I'd rather be in the New Zealand camp right now
Yeah they are great people.
They are going through regardless.
Yeah I know, was just saying as there was a lot of consternation earlier on about how did New Zealand end up where they are with their openers etc.
Terrific recovery from NZ.
I expect we’ll crumble under the pressure of chasing.

I won't comment out of jinxing fears.
