Let's hope that if England bat first and are say 200 for 1 in 30 overs that they don't settle for 300 bcos somebody told them it was the par score at the Adelaide Oval !!!!

Mahooosive game. Bangladesh haven't looked great (either have England mind) so have to give the nod to England here

Dozen Wicked Words

England win please, prolong my misery for another few days.

Bangladesh did beat England in the last World Cup ....... I wouldn't be taking anything for granted here given it's England and Bangladesh playing !!!

That time appears to be wrong and it's a 03:30 GMT start (14:00 local). I double checked on ICC site and cricinfo.

I've edited the OP

England on top here, 23-2 after 7 overs.

KevIRL

Bangladesh recovered v well. Key part of the game now though

booth70

265/6 in the 49th....

Good fightback by Bangladesh ....u get the feeling they are going to finish about 30 runs short but they would have taken that from 8/2.....

A nervy chase nonetheless coming up for England

KevIRL

276 the target then. Very gettable, but a few early wickets.....

josip

Looks like its going well for England?

It's not bad anyway although stupid run outs don't help.

Al_Coholic

england in a bit of trouble now...lost 2 quick wickets.
Morgan out for 0

KevIRL

Wobble wobble

Sparks43

Collapse in progress

BarryD

Methinks Eoin Morgan is in big trouble

BarryD

Which could eventually be in Ireland's best interest

endabob1

At this stage Bangladesh were 124/4 England are 123/4, but Bangladeshi's didn't lose another wicket for almost 20 overs, can England do the same....

KevIRL

Agent Morgan does it again....

BarryD

Who cares about betting odds - it's all in the head here now. Definitely advantage Bangladesh at the moment. England will have done well, if they steady the boat and win this one.

the groutch

7 an over needed now

thomasj

Taylor gone now...

Bangledesh now favourites

lambayire

England are a shambles right now.

endabob1

England on the ropes now for sure, Butler & Root need to make a stand or it's game over

Dickerty

If either of Buttler or Root go in the next 15 overs, they are done. Very few runs in that bottom order...

Mallagio

Just shows ya how bad England are here - one more wicket before the 35th over conceded and I'd say it's curtains for them.

Dickerty

And I don't understand why they have persisted with Morgan, with such a terrible run of form. It would be different with a long-term captain like Strauss or Cook. It really points to how little reliable experience they gave in their ranks, compared to a team like Sri Lanka, for example...

BarryD

Luck will start coming into it soon, as these lads will have to start taking a few chances and there ain't too many chances left..

Al_Coholic

big big trouble now for england

This pairing doing well is the only way though imo

If England lose this and Ireland make the quarters it could be a turning point for Irish cricket

Yeah English players might start declaring for us :pac:

Why would the performance of England be a turning point for Irish Cricket? Surely Ireland's performances and making the QFs of their own accord should be enough of a turning point

BarryD

Bangladesh have done really well in that powerplay to limit the boundaries - the pressure mounting on these lads to start hitting.

lambayire

Incredible how a simple push to long on/off is now almost always a comfortable 2.

endabob1

RR still under 10 an over, if Buttler stays in they will do it

pajor

Last 3 overs got 11, 11 and 8 runs. If they manage to keep that up they'll do it.

Lovely Bloke

then a 13.

ninebeanrows

Yea, bang need to get it down to Eng needed 13 on last over

Pudsy33

Butler gone!

Rikand

Edged him!

endabob1

and just when it looked like it was over and done, Buttler gone and we have a squeaky bum finish on our hands :-)

Pudsy33

What's the rule on this?

Al_Coholic

Welruc

Hard to call this one
