    3rd wicket from Topley - a beauty that leaves the left hander and takes top of off

    26-3 off 5.4

    The other game is shaping up nicely. Kusal Mendis in absurd form

    Sad to see Woakes struggling like this. Currently 4-0-34-0 to go with his 6-0-45-0 against NZ

    Well done Buttler in keeping Woakes on as he has Miraz caught behind

    49-4

    Das reaches his 50 (38) which is rather impressive given the fact that the score is 65-4 off 11 overs

    Kusal Mendis out for 122 off just 77 balls to follow up his 76 off 42 balls against South Africa. 

    SL 229-4 off 30

    Woakes picks up the wicket of Das (76 off 66). Would be great to run through the rest of their team now

    121-5 off 21

    SL were all out for 326 in 44.5 overs chasing 426 against SA. They are currently 263-4 off 37 against Pakistan. That tells us two things - one that SL are anything but mugs with the bat and that the teams that adapt and read best the different surfaces at the numerous venues will do best.

    Rashid strikes with an LBW but the batsman reviews because he's hit the ball before impact

    146-5 off 27.2

    Mushfiqur slices the ball down to Rashid at third man to give Topley his fourth wicket

    164-6 off 31

    Livingtone has to wait 'til the 40th over to come on and takes a wicket with his very first ball - a classic leggie caught by Buttler

    189-7 off 39.1

    SL finish on 344-9 against Pakistan. Something to defend.

    Hopefully Rashid and Woakes will improve for the overs.

    And a wicket to Rashid at last in this tournament as he bowls Mahedi Hasan

    195-8 off 40.5

    Shoriful Islam show all three stumps and you really shouldn't be doing that to Mark Wood

    221-9

    Curran hits the stumps from one of his deliveries but fails to dislodge the bails. Next ball he does do that.

    Bangladesh 227 all out in 48.2 overs and England win by 137 runs. That will help our NRR.

    Pakistan 110-2 off 20 overs. They need 245 off 30 overs

    Pakistan record the biggest ever World Cup chase in reaching 345-4 off 48.2 overs. The really good news about that achievement is that it knocks off the top Ireland's 329-4 against England in 2011.

    Sri Lanka really messed that up in the last 10 overs.... well done Pakistan

    It has helped our NRR but it should've been a lot better.

    We should've probably got close to 400, and with Bangladesh at 121-5, you could argue we let them off the hook a bit in getting to 227.

    Shout-out to Castore who managed to ensure England embarrassed themselves before yesterday's game had even started by playing in non-matching kits.

    Also, some have Cinch on the right sleeve and Castore logo on left,  and others have the other way around

    That's not unusual though, as the sponsor (in this case Cinch) would normally go on the opposite arm that the player bats with, so that the logo faces the camera.
