So if New Zealand win , they will go to 10 points , it then effectively means only India (Qualified) , South Africa , New Zealand , Australia ,(playing) & Afghanistan are alive for the SF's.

Edit: Rain again , Pakistan ahead on DLS

Pakistan win by 21 runs

India 14 (Q)
South Africa 12 (Q)
Australia 10
New Zealand 8

Pakistan 8
Afghanistan 8
Sri Lanka 4
Netherlands 4
Bangladesh 2 (E)
England 2 (E)

New Zealand and Pakistan have played 8 games , everyone else has played 7

NZ have scored 383 and 401 in this World Cup and lost both games. That is ridiculous.

Looks like six teams realistically in it, then - Pakistan are potentially good value now, they play after NZ so will know what is required to get past them.

SL have something to play for with Champions Trophy qualification up for grabs. Think NZ will still win, but should be a good watch.

I don't think that I have ever seen the timed out rule invoked before. Sri Lanka won't be happy as it seemed that Mathews helmet strap broke when he reached the middle.
Surely there would be some common sense from the umpires. They parrot on about making sure helmets are safe to use and then pull this nonsense.

Looks worse for Shakib the more I look at it. I am very much in the Ashwin camp as regards the Mankad but I really don't like the way this has played out.

Then there's this:
