Bangladesh have started well in the Cricket . 95-1 after 19 overs . Woakes has a side Strain .
Bangladesh finish on 305-6. Good death bowling by Wood and Plunkett, England very much in this still.
Definitely, they were saying in the commentary that they'll be in the top 3 ODI nations by 2020. Mind you, they have a population of 160 million, all of them mad on cricket, so they ought to be good!
Cricket and 2 tennis matches to watch....my remote will go into meltdown.
Shouldn't have been playing today in my opinion. He is a good cricketer but nothing is going right for him at the moment. Stark contrast to Bairstow, who seems to be playing some great cricket.

100 up for England after 18.4 overs. Good partnership between Hales and Root. Steady progress.
I agree , maybe he needs to back to his county for now , the experts are saying he will play the next 2 games , but surely that could backfire IF he starts to struggle mentally ?
It a tough call in terms of player management. If you drop him then his confidence will take a big hit. Whereas if you keep him in and he carries on struggling then he might start over thinking every shot in which case things will only get worse for him.
Maybe the powers that be are thinking that he thought " It's only Bangladesh " and he went for it , lets see how he performs at the Kiwis game . Agree though , difficult all round .
