Yesterday at the World Cup
England captain Andrew Strauss and spinner Graeme Swann both missed a practice session due to stomach upsets ahead of England's must-win game against the West Indies.
Canada's John Davison - former holder of the record fastest World Cup century (67 balls v West Indies in 2003) will retire from cricket following tomorrow's game against Australia, his country of birth.
Captain Shahid Afridi says Pakistan are happy to play their World Cup knockout stage matches in India despite earlier voicing concerns about security.

Your emails:
"It seems to me like England have been on tour forever, so I can't imagine what it must seem like to them. I would be very surprised if they weren't all praying for "exit from the World Cup" and I, for one, wouldn't blame them at all. Whoever was responsible for planning this tour should have been made to spend every minute on it," Peter Swift.
"South Africa's form this tournament has been very encouraging and to my mind they are clear favourites. Too much has been made of their collapse against England but that could have happened to any side on such a dreadful wicket," adds Antony Parker.
"If Kevin Pietersen cannot play through the pain of a hernia injury then frankly he should never be allowed to play again. Let's 'do an Ed Joyce' and give him back to South Africa," mails George Hockley.
