ok u guys that understand cricket is 113/4  good or bad for this stage of game?

[Gabriel_Hurl]

It means there's 4 england guys out and they have scored 113 runs in the process

these games are a maximum of 50 overs in length

the innings is over when one team gets 10 guys from the other team out or the entire 50 overs have been played - whichever comes first

england 152 for 4 after 36 overs

[ExiledGael]

159-4 It's a decent score so far for the English, but way below what they would have been hoping for, especially as they might need a high run-rate to squeeze into the semis.
Anything less than a 200/250 total, which it's now looking like, gives us a small chance if someone can make a stand

[slow corner back]

181/4 after 42 overs looking at about 230-250 total??

[ExiledGael]

Freddie out, looking decent for Ireland

[Gabriel_Hurl]

Flintoff - out!!

[slow corner back]

Possible bit of daylight at one end now, get into them tailenders

[Gabriel_Hurl]

258 for 7 Collingwood out

[Gabriel_Hurl]

266 for 7 end of innings

[GalwayBayBoy]

Ireland conceded 65 runs in the last 5 overs. A total of around 200 was defintely chaseable. 267 looks like a tall order unfortunately.

[Gabriel_Hurl]

not the start we want

Bray out - first over
