If we lose today are we out? Saw somewhere it will come down to run rate but don't really understand this. Does it mean Aussies could win and still go home?

We can lose and stay in, unless the Aussies absolutely spank us I think. Not sure what would need to happen for the Aussies to win and still be out - I think we would have to absolutely spank them.
In essence, the Aussies only just lost to Zim, so their relative R/Rs from that match are much the same. Zim conceded 190 to Eng and only scored 120 odd, which is pretty one-sided.
If the Auusies win today they will be through.

Team news England have made one change from the side that beat Zimbabwe yesterday - James Kirtley comes in for James Anderson. "Anderson's last Twenty20 outing against Australia brought figures of 4-0-64-0 at Sydney," says Gnasher, "so it's probably not a bad move." Kirtley has a mean yorker for the death overs too.

something clever
may I had 'as top of the group' as well to that
It's a Super 8 so we'll carry the result through against the other team through i.e. the loss to the Aussies
We def want to win and send them home
England won the toss and will BAT
In theory, they could win and go out. If Australia have a negative run rate from this match of 1.1 or more, they'll be out whether they win or lose.
For example, the Aussies bat first and score 200 off their 20 overs, England are all out for 170 but only bat for 15 overs. Australia would have a run rate of -1.33 from the match and be out of the competition.
Sorry to be ignorant, but how is NRR worked out
f*** knows!
Results aren't carried forward to the next stage. Despite being called the Super 8, it's actually two groups of four who then play each other once, with the top two in each group going through to the semi finals.

I thought Run Rate was always worked out over the full innings period. Otherwise England could just go for 6's every ball with the knowledge that if they did get out they would still have a better run rate.

The run rate calculation stuff is shown pretty well here:
