Bangladesh’s Liton Das in action as England’s Jos Buttler looks on
(Reuters)
England are taking on Bangladesh in the second match of their Super 12 campaign at the T20 World Cup. Eoin Morgan’s side crushed West Indies with a blistering display of bowling which saw them all out for 55, before wrapping up victory in only 8.2 overs to get off to the perfect start in Dubai on Sunday, and are now in pole position in group 2.
They will have to be wary of hot conditions this time at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, in what is their only group game scheduled to be played during the daytime heat. But Bangladesh do not arrive in great form, having toiled in qualifying with a defeat by Scotland, and then losing their Super 12 opener to Sri Lanka.

7th over: Bangladesh 30-3 (Mahmudullah 1, Mushfiqur 11)
Wow, what a catch that almost was from Tymal Mills! Mushfiqur switches on Rashid ball to the leg side and catches it clean. It looks set for the boundary but for a magnificent leap from Mills. He gets his fingertips to the ball but can’t quite hold on. Still, he denies the boundary.

6th over: Bangladesh 27-3 (Mahmudullah 0, Mushfiqur 9)
Another great over from England – as Woakes ensures Bangladesh can’t get any momentum. Mushfiqur adds a couple of singles but England had good cover in the field.
That brings an end to Bangladesh’s power play and Rashid is taking the ball now up against two right handers.

WICKET! Shakib c Rashid b Woakes (Bangladesh 26-3)
What a catch from Adil Rashid! Shakib is out for four after trying to scoop the ball over his shoulder. Rashid scampered back before turning and diving to make the catch. That was quality.

5th over: Bangladesh 24-2 (Shakib 2, Mushfiqur 8)
With Moeen back on the ball, Mushfiqur wraps up a steady over for Bangladesh by hitting the spinner with a boundary down the field.

4th over: Bangladesh 18-2 (Shakib 1, Mushfiqur 3)
Woakes takes the ball back for his second over as Bangladesh look to steady the ship. Woekes hits Mushfiqur with a bouncer before the Bangladesh man takes swing at square leg, but England have a fielder in position and it’s only a single.
Mushfique seems to have hurt his finger in that Woakes bouncer and is receiving some treatment.

3rd over: Bangladesh 15-2 (Shakib 0, Mushfiqur 1)
A lovely over from Moeen Ali as the England spinner takes out Bangladesh’s openers in two balls. Mushfiqur gets off the mark on the final ball of the over.

WICKET! Naim c Woakes b Moeen (Bangladesh 14-2)
Two wickets in two balls for Moeen Ali! After Liton hit a ball high into the sky, Naim follows with a tame shot on the next ball that is easily caught by Chris Woakes. Disaster for Bangladesh. Moeen’s on a hat-trick…

2nd over: Bangladesh 13-0 (Liton 9, Naim 4)
Chris Woakes takes the ball before Naim teases Dawad Malan with a scooped shot that the England man can’t quite reach out in the cover. A further ball from Woakes delivered to off-stump hits Liton’s pad. England appeal but to no avail.

1st over: Bangladesh 10-0 (Liton 9, Naim 1)
An exceptional start from Liton Das! After a couple of singles, Liton steps into a short ball from Moeen Ali and scoops the shot over the bowler’s head for his first boundary. The next ball brings the same result, with another bouncing shot to the off-side boundary.
