MARK WOOD will grit his teeth and hope for an Australia win tomorrow as resurgent England look to secure a place in the next round of the T20 World Cup.

The reigning champions took a big step towards the Super 8 stage with a crushing victory over Oman, chasing down a meagre target of 48 in a tournament record of 19 deliveries, but their fate is not entirely in their own hands.

With net run-rate now favouring England, a positive result against Namibia will take them to the cusp of qualification, but Scotland can still edge them out if they conjure a huge upset against the Australians a few hours later.
