Just possible that Moeen was digging them out of a deep hole (87-5), but the rain hissed down a few minutes later (it is Australia in the summer – what a daft time to play cricket) when England were 105-5 and the magic DLS method said that they were five runs behind the notional target for the balls bowled.
The group looks very open now – so I'll be up early on Friday for the IRE-AFG and ENG-AUS double header.
New Balls and a pint of Guinness please :-)

Squeaky bum time now - Ireland played well (including giving England a good stuffing), but are on the plane home.
England need to beat Sri Lanka tomorrow morning to qualify for the semi-finals - NZ already through and Aus will qualify if England lose or are rained off (again).
Other group is more open - probably India and the Saffers, but Pakistan still have a chance if either of those two slip up.
