England's continue to light up the cricket World Cup by being brilliantly inconsistent. A must win against the WIndies is greeted with a middle order collapse, limping out to 243, allowing the WIndies to waltz to 222-6 with a performance in the field that included a drop, a player catching the ball and falling over the boundary rope and a really good catch from Tremlett.

Also, the West Indies' batting order seemed to have been drawn from a hat.

England need a South Africa win now.
