David Warner registered his first ODI century after his comeback into the Australian set-up. Both current and former cricketers applauded the left-hander for his effort. Former Australian head coach, Darren Lehmann seemed extremely happy with this hundred. RP Singh and Aakash Chopra also appreciated Warner’s efforts in their tweets.

In the same game, Babar Azam put up some classy stroke-making on display which truly mesmerised Herschelle Gibbs. The former South African cricketer thinks Azam can become the greatest Pakistan batsman ever. While Ramiz Raja absolutely rubbished the Pakistan fielding standards in this game, Michael Vaughan ridiculed the number of supporters Australia had in Taunton.

Meanwhile, in the head up to the game between India and New Zealand, Ross Taylor shared a picture from the press conference where he was having a good laugh. Indian skipper Virat Kohli shared a photo from the practice session. Subramaniam Badrinath seemed to be happy about the inclusion of Rishabh Pant in the Indian set-up. Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar took it to his social media platforms to wish Javed Miandad on his birthday.

2. Dean Jones feels India and England as stand out favourites

Good fight Pakistan … good win Australia.. but I feel both Teams can and need to improve … if they want to win this thing. Still along way to go. India and England still the stand out favourites.

3. Michael Vaughan ridicules the amount of support Australia has got in Taunton

One door closes and another opens , it’s like it had to happen, Rishab Pant to join #TeamIndia , always thought the young lad should have made the team in the first place #CWC2019 #WC2019 #BadriBytes

8. None of us has lost as much. Well played Warner!

Ever since his comeback to competitive cricket, Warner has looked like a man on a mission. Focused. Putting a heavy price tag on his wicket. Too slow against India was a fair criticism but then…we haven’t been in his place…none of us has lost as much. Well played ???????? #CWC19

12. Brad Hogg catches up with his former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting in England

This bloke was an inspiration. True leader. The most successful captain the world has ever seen. Great privilege to have played with him. And a great pleasure to have caught up with him during #CmonAussie #CWC19 match against #TeamIndia pic.twitter.com/VO7VIOBApL

13. Lisa Sthalekar disappointed that there is no swing for the bowlers in favourable conditions

What is going on with white Kookaburra balls? Surely given the conditions in Taunton, overcast, plus a greenish pitch, there is no swing. Hasn’t really been any swing in this years #CWC19 #disappointed
