See how happy Stokes looks as Roy knocks the ump down. Trip down memory lane.

 

[Borges]

Well, the big plus for Bangladesh is that Mortaza has only too overs left; and he hasn't gone for too many so far.
Well played Roy! Overcame the bad game against Pakistan and blossomed after an edgy start in this game.

 

[91Jmay]

Good ton, no dumb shots yet. He should probably just go for it from here with so many batters in the hutch still.

 

[trundler]

Yeah Shaifuddin is going to be cannon fodder

 

[Zinzan]

Tbh England have a subcontinent run for 4 games in a row. Outside India and Pakistan, none of the other sides has the bowling to truly expose England. This was always bound to happen. I guess Afghanistan could if Rashid takes a six wicket haul or something but this stretch of matches was always likely to play England into form.

England have played well, but Bangs have been abysmal. Agree England's batting was always likely to improve today, but they'll get more confidence getting 380 & winning by 120 runs than getting 320 and winning by 40.

Yeah England look like they'll coast to a win from here. Not good.

 

[trundler]

No need for the fancy shots right now. Just milk these trundlers.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Let's not forget Eng are still the only team to have made 300+ in all of their matches in what has been so far a sober target setting WC. The batting is primed and running, just has to kick into fifth.

 

[Borges]

Don't think this pitch is as benign as the Bangladesh bowlers have made it look.

 

[91Jmay]

Just need to go for it now, this partnership has done it's job.

 

[trundler]

185 at the 30 over mark. So 370.

Tbf, the Bangladesh bowlers have made it look like a billiard table.

 

[trundler]

That's an excellent shot

 

[stephen]

That was a very lovely 6.

 

[trundler]

That's an excellent shot

Make that shots. Bangloldesh out of ideas.

3 in 3

 

[trundler]

Shakib's economy rate has jump from under 5 to over 6 after that over.

 

[91Jmay]

Good from Roy, not trying to overhit.

 

[Zinzan]

380 on the cards, and who knows if they really get it right with all these wickets in hand.

 

[trundler]

That's an odd dismissal.
