Yesterday's play: AB de Villiers' century gave South Africa the perfect start. Read full match report here.
Today's action: Follow Australia v New Zealand and Bangladesh v Ireland with our live scoreboards.
What we dished up in the field against Holland will not get us through the first group round never mind winning the World Cup so the captain and coach have to sit them down and give them a right rocket.
Whether some of them are tired from playing too long in Australia or not, the fact is they are here now and need to pull their finger out. There needs to be an improved performance on bowling discipline and the leader of the pack, Jimmy Anderson, needs to get his intensity back and his pace. Just like he did in the Ashes.
The ground fielding has to be better because if our bowlers and fielders are not on song Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar will murder them with 40,000 Indians screaming for the home side. If you lose control against India in a home match it is like being in a hell hole. The noise is deafening, the ball will be disappearing to all parts and they will bat us out of the game. The key is to make sure that doesn’t happen.
We need a sixth bowler. Collingwood is rarely ever going to bowl a full 10 overs in India. They have to make a choice and it has to be the left-arm spinner, Mike Yardy. A lot of these pitches are fantastic for batting and captains need options, preferably different types of bowlers to try and give batsmen different problems. On these pitches every bowler at some stage will get whacked so you need to be able to swap and change around.
Our batting looks good. Just play normal cricket and don't try and slog it out the park. Tendulkar has been a raving success at one-day cricket and he never slogs anything. So there is the answer.
• Geoffrey Boycott will be previewing all of England's games throughout this tournament, while Derek Pringle, Scyld Berry and Steve James will also bring you their thoughts on the rest of the action.
Stat of the day: AB de Villiers' 97-ball century was the fastest ever by a South African at the Cricket World Cup.

Yesterday at the World Cup
Indian authorities have announced that they will put a 50-metre security zone around the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore to prevent a repeat of the violence which broke out when tickets went on sale yesterday.
The ICC were forced to apologise to the South African team after the PA system in Delhi cut off halfway through their national anthem. The Proteas belted out an a cappella of the second verse, in Afrikaans, accompanied by a dozen travelling fans.
Only a brave man gets between Jacques Kallis and his lunch, but the South Africa team had to wait 40 minutes before they were fed in Delhi due to a security clampdown. West Indies, who ate at their hotel before the game, had no such difficulties.

"Dear Sir Geoffrey, A brass tacks question for you. If eleven players are good enough to play a test then why are the same players not picked for the limited overs game?" says Vernier.
"Any tournament that needs a month before a meaningful match is staged will struggle to gain worldwide interest. 2 leagues of 7 is madness. The league stage will see 8 teams qualify. Essentially it will see whether it is England, W. Indies or Bangladesh who are eliminated. That's it. A month of cricket to get rid of 1 team. Bonkers" adds Geoffrey's nan.
