I was explaining at to the mrs at the start of the match how and why we were playing the netherlands (making up the numbers for a world cup competition etc). hmmmmmm that went well.
What do you mean
I can see the newspaper headlines now.......
ENGLAND SO CLOSE TO PULLING OFF SHOCK WIN
I presume that if England win against Pakistan they would almost certainly go through, given that the loser in the Pakistan/Netherlands game will have a worse net run rate
Erm, no. You don't know what the run rate will be in those two matches. England could beat Pakistan and still go out.
The england game was so close that the run rate of the losers will most likely be worse than englands. Is it definitely run rate before head to head?

And that is the crucial thing. If its head to head England are almost certain to go out, unless Pakistan also fail against the Netherlands.
If its run-rate then an England win against Pakistan should see them through.
