1st June - Group A - England v Bangladesh

[MW1304]

He's not wrong about Rashid though. Samey-looking bowling attack without him.

 

[Howe_zat]

This is an odd start. Not like the ball is hooping around.

Dropped, that.

 

[Burner]

The ground is beautiful. Always amazing to watch games in England when rain doesn't **** things up.

 

[Jarquis]

Should have gone for Willey before Ball....

but actually srs

 

[cnerd123]

Why are they going so slow

 

[Gnske]

Pakistani fielding strikes early this tournament

 

[Burner]

Mehedi Hasan isn't playing? drop your best bowler from the warm up games jesus ****

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Soumya better make this count

 

[cnerd123]

So is the pitch super green or something? Slow start, dropping Mirage for extra batting, no Rashid

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Yeah Soumya!!!

Looks like a cooked flounder

Bit wary after that India warm up game I think.

 

[NUFAN]

Why are they going so slow

Probably because they were 6 down inside 7 1/2 overs the last time they played at this venue.

Obviously there has been an easy catch put down but beside that both batsman look good.

 

[ImpatientLime]

usual non threatening short of a length nonsense from ball so far.

And just as you guys post this, Soumya takes 16 off an over

Gotta love BD

 

[YorksLanka]

Huge mistake by England to drop Rashid IMO.Bangladesh going along nicely now after a cautious start.impressed with Bangla supporters and the noise they are making to lift their guys!

 

[hendrix]

Not much for Jake Ball on this pitch.

Smart from Bangladesh to take the time to get in...gotta make it count though.

 

[Gnske]

What's with the solar panel on the back of Stokes' head? Surely that isn't an allowed piece of the team kit?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Finally.
