    Their. (Our).

    No, I have every expectation that we will be the rosy-cheeked, slightly plump, pint-swilling (cider, natch) bridesmaids again. To some vajazzled, fake-tanned girl from Chelmsford.

    Worried about Headingley match.

    I am disgusted in myself at the there mistake. Yorkshire's batting is just not good enough to beat Somerset. We've been batsmen or two light for a few seasons now

    Indians set 240 to win.

    Guess they will have doubts about the rain so might want to start quickly.

    erm...exact opposite for them.

    5-2 and the main 2 batsmen out.

    49-4 so a little bit better but a long way to go. If England don't win it I would love it to be New Zealand

    Given the choice, most definitely.

    Some of the best WC games have been low scorers.

    Final 30 overs could be like a test match.

    Awful if NZ win then we lose to Oz.

    ECB will probably be hoping India pull it off as I presume a lot of their fans would have brought tickets for the final ..

    But NZ just need to keep this tight as India will have to try and hit out creating chances .

    I'm not sure India do. The rate is still below 6 with MSD & Jadeja to come. If they bat the overs, India win. NZ need wickets.

    Odd that Santner hasn't bowled yet. Surely, he's more likely to beat the bat than the medium pacers who do need a batsman coming at them.

    I see that there'll be a lot of empty seats tomorrow.

    Tickets bought by Indian fans who aren't bothering/finding it too difficult to sell them back via the official site. Might not be the usual Edgbaston crucible.

    Santner starts with a maiden.

    NZ have been very tight and consistent- hardly giving anything away .

    Just have to beat Germany in the semi now.

    Why Santner taken off?!

    Tense stuff & I'm just on Cricinfo.

    MSD & Jad looking at 90ish off the last 10.

    In the old days, you'd back Dhoni. Not so sure now.

    Jadeja and Dhoni giving India a chance .

    Good half century by the fomer .

    Think they are going to do it, may depend on Boult.

    Shame Strauss & co have downgraded 50 over cricket to a youth team comp from next season.

    He and Henry were very consistent- others nots so but India didn't get enough boundaries apart from Jadeja.

    Maybe not to which? India, no. Boult, yes.

    Fantastic match.

    At least the Cidermen get to keep the trophy.

    This game is too important to enjoy. I hate playing the Aussies (spell check wants to change to Sissies). They always find a way to win.

    Agreed.

    What price we spend the last hour just sitting on the sofa waving our flags?

    England favourites to win both today & the tournament.

    Oddschecker have as an intriguing 4th priced outsider Scotland.

    Could be some value there?
