Anyone place bets on Pakistan? Anyone? Beuller? No, I didn't think so, but they did it, they won. I blame Trump. Pakistan put in a solid opening inning with Hafeez adding 84 to the 348 total. Woakes and Ali each got 3 wickets. I for one wasn't expecting Pakistan to get that high a total, and they lasted all 50 overs. But they did. So England had to chase 348, and with Root and Buttler both getting centuries you'd have though they could have done it, but no they did not. They even had a wicket to spare, but they fell 14 runs short. Pakistan will take that win and try to ride the wave, England needs to brush it off and refocus.
It shook things up in our neck of the woods as well. Moira and Catherine clearly knew something the rest of us did not. Michael also had a surge and is now nipping at our heels. With Catherine back in the UK don't count Henry out as she will no doubt have him trading in no time.
Tomorrows match is Sri Lanka v. Afghanistan. And after today, who knows, those E players from Afghanistan might just be the right picks.
