Going by the percentage scores of the finalists in the last cycle - 66.67 for Australia and 58.8 for India - teams will be looking to get to the 60% mark to give themselves a shot at the Lord's final. Here is a look at how they are placed, and their chances of qualifying.Percent: 42.
For instance, if India run away from the rest of the pack, then England can finish second if Australia get no more than 42 points out of the 84 on offer from their seven remaining Tests, and if other teams stay below 57.95 as well. If Australia finish on top then England need India to take no more than 58 points and stay below 57.95.

If they win each of their six remaining Tests, they will go up to 72.92, while four wins out of six will keep them at 56.25.Pakistan not only lost 2-0 to Bangladesh, but they also dropped six points due to slow over-rates.
