Australia’s game against Scotland follows in just over two hours. Do join Daniel Gallan for that one. Time for me to go and lie down in a darkened room. England may yet be sent home, but at least they got a game in, and a second victory. Thanks for your company, correspondence and views on holding a World Cup in the rainy season.
England up to a net run rate of 3.611, which means that Scotland can still progress while losing as long as Australia score 1010 and Scotland make 1009. #T20worldcup

So England, who couldn’t win in Barbados, have now won twice in Antigua, and won well. “Everyone managed the situation well,” says Jos Buttler. “I thought 120 was a really good score. After I got out I thought 80-90 might be a good score on that wicket, but Jonny Bairstow and Harry Brook pout together a vital partnership… We’ve done all we can do and we’ll see what happens.”
So will he now, Mike Atherton wonders, be an Australia fan for one night only? “Absolutely!”
