Bangladesh vs England

The new batter is Will Jacks. 8:42AM. Wicket! Roy LBW b Shakib 132. Jason Roy's superb innings comes to ...

There are so many contenders for a batting spot in the squad for the India World Cup in October but, to his credit, he is there in Bangladesh trying to stake his claim and is such a good player of spin – and a far better player than he was during his brief Test career – that a decent score today and in the third match would reward his commitment. Dawid Malan’s minor epic on Wednesday has surely moved him above Jason Roy in the race for a place in the World Cup squad, and Jofra Archer’s rehabilitation has so far gone to plan. When Mark Wood pulled up lame with his side strain after being run out in the World Cup final, it is often forgotten that James Vince was on the field for the Super Over and the unforgettable denouement, having played in three group games during that campaign while Jason Roy was injured. It's a long time since England's best bowler has come in with a genuine opportunity to effect the result with the bat and, though Malan deserves by far the greater share of the praise, it was a significant contribution to help see off Taijul Islam's last couple of overs after the left-arm spinner had dismissed Phil Salt, James Vince and Chris Woakes. A poor delivery from Shakib is dragged round the corner for four by Moeen, and then Buttler savages a pull to the midwicket boundary. A solid if unspectacular start from England on a pitch that was expected to be trickier than Wednesday's, and is proving to be. He drove a little lazily outside off stump and got a thin edge that was smartly held up to the stumps by Mushfiqur. It's the end of a scruffy comedown innings from Malan: 11 from 19 balls. Roy has made three daddy hundreds in ODIs, including one against Bangladesh at the last World Cup, and he has plenty of time for another. Jason Roy tries to sweep Mehidy, misses and is hit on the pad on or around off stump. Buttler crashed the ball back at Mehidy, who swooped to his left in his follow through to take a quite stunning catch. Taskin appeals for LBW, even though the ball hit the middle of the bat, and Tamim Iqbal compounds the error by reviewing the decision.
