What's new

England beat Bangladesh by 21 runs in the first ODI

How many points England will loose if Bangladesh white wash them?
 
:hundred for Kayes. Well played!

Shakib is slogging now. Need to restrain, they still need 85 runs. Run a ball for next 5 overs without a wicket will seal the match as target will be < 50.
 
So England can score 444 in home pitch but can not score 350 in overseas
 
Defining over against 2 lefti - must not lose a wicket to Moeen.
 
Total wrong captaincy by Butlar!!! Shows why he is not been chosen captain!!!! Brought Moeen in death over
 
I think it was a very bad decision to bat first considering the dew. This wicket has eased out tremendously and England made a bad call
 
Those two tried to slog Rashid out of attack, which wasn't required at all.

This England team is going to beat India, oh yeah!

Good showing by the Bangladeshis. In ODIs, they have certainly arrived.
 
BD batsmen giving the English bowling attack the respect they deserve.

Been saying that Pakistan gave way too much respect to the English attack and made it look much stronger than it actually was.

We were ranked #9 for a reason. BD are beating everyone at home. A solid team.
 
Imrul has found a new way ti buy some time.

Ha ha, I am seeing Desh match after a long time in full. Must admit it is one of the best knocks I have seen from a B'deshi batter in ODI's; chanceless. Top class knock :thumb

In Dhaka, now temperature is between 35-38c, but humidity is around 95% & this is one of the most air polluted city. O am really surprised that Sakib has the power after bowling 10 overs.
 
Man Bangladesh is super good at home. England is a pretty good ODI side and even they are losing to Bangla
 
Well, he is gone, but may be just has done enough.
 
Bangladesh require another 39 runs with 5 wickets and 51 balls remaining

Shakib gone. Kayes is at 60%.

Come on BD! Wrap it up.
 
Love to see the good bounce from this Dhaka pitch. Better than the awful UAE wickets where ball bounces knee height.
 
Mosh can bat, but he has a poor day today, must be mentally down. They should have sent Nazmul here.
 
Will Bangladesh choke in this run chase or will the flag of England be flying over the subcontinent again ?
 
Every bangla fan who was cursing Kayes yesterday is now praying for him to finish the match.

Karma.
 
Kayes gone ! That is a huge wicket. Bangladesh are faltering here.
 
Kohli, Smith and Root bat at no.3

But, in each case there are back up at 6 & 7. Mahmood is not the type who can run with a game from top, but he is a very level headed player, who can guide tail to a run a ball target.
 
I've always wondered this: Why can't it be given out if pitched outside leg? How does it matter, as long as it still hits the stumps...
 
Lol Bangladeah have lost 5 wickets for 9 runs since I've been watching
 
Feel bad for Bangladesh but I always wanted England to win since Bangladesh losing will have a positive effect on of our rankings. It's not personal :yk2
 
Joint MOTM for me for Ball and Rashid. Equally clutch. What do you think? [MENTION=139981]HitWicket[/MENTION] [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION]
 
Even saffers can only dream of such a choke job, just imagine if it was pak doing this, pp would have totally lost it by now.
 
Actually, more than choke, it was always on the card. I thought the target was 20 more, but Sakib played exceptionally to bring in this situation. To me, still the turning point was Mushi's dismissal - you can't lob to mid wicket with 170 needed at just about 6.2/over, but already 3 down.
 
Rashid is bowling amazingly. Very surprised because in the past he hasn't impressed me much

Much better than Yasir has ever done in one days

Always thought he's a good LOI bowler. Much better than Yasir

Think they'll probably go with Stokes given the scenario when he came in, but any of the 3 could be argued a case here. Given Ball probably didn't know he was going to play til shortly before the toss this is very impressive. Needs 1 this over for the best debutant figures for England.
