One day Ravi Shastri will learn that he doesn't need to shout at the toss

First sighting of Nassers's massive nose of this World Cup in the pre game with Kass Naidoo and Simon Doull.

Every tied match at the World Cup goes to a super over.

Stokes out is a blow for England, helps to even out us missing Williamson.

New Zealand won toss and chose to bowl first.

Not sure that's the right choice, batting first looked the better option in the warm up games but Buttler said they would have bowled first too

Expected a bigger crowd there but only a match featuring India would go close to filling a stadium as big as this one.

They should get some more of the local Indian fans there later in the evening though.

Remember Jonny, stay in your crease until the ball is dead.

Not a great first over from Boult going for 12 runs, looks like a good batting pitch though so expect it will be a high scoring match.

This could be close.

Too high.

Much better over from Henry with a maiden, close to picking up a wicket too.
