England set Afghanistan 398 to win: Cricket World Cup – live!

* Cricket World Cup updates from Old Trafford * County cricket – live! News from around the grounds * And you can email Rob here 2.27pm BST THANKS TIM, HELLO EVERYONE. Cricket is a simple game. Eleven men chase a ball around for 50 overs, and at the end, England break another record. They claimed two of the biggest today. Eoin Morgan beasted 17 sixes, the most in a one-day international, and the team broke the ODI record with 25. It’s rare that someone breaks a world record while having a fitness test. Morgan’s back got quite a workout; so did his jaw. He has a distinctive six-face – you know the one, a kind of effort gurn as he makes contact - and I doubt I’ll ever get it out of my head after today. 2.25pm BST I NEED TO GO AND LIE DOWN. Thanks for your company, your mutterings about boring England (which didn’t go unheard), and your entertaining reactions to one of the all-time great fireworks displays. Apologies for the typos and the odd blank that had to be filled in later – writing the OBO is like doing an exam in your favourite subject, but today it turned into a tricky Greek unseen. And it was still an honour to do it. Time for a bowling change of our own: on comes the consistently excellent Rob Smyth. Continue reading...
