49.2 - Woakes to Mortaza, FOUR, the captain backs away and swings hard, hits it over the infield as it was full and in the slot, long-off is inside the ring and it runs away for four

46.4 - Jordan to Rahim, FOUR, full and outside off stump, driven hard. Oh! Long-on is very square and even a full length dive wasn't good enough. Well placed, Mushfiqur Rahim! Bangladesh need more boundaries to finish on a high. 250 comes up

42.4 - J Anderson to Rahim, FOUR, oh no! A juicy full toss from Anderson and Rahim easily puts it away. Doesn't overhit the ball, just stays leg-side of the ball and drives it to the left of the man at cover

42.2 - J Anderson to Rahim, FOUR, England are under pressure! Short and on the stumps, not high enough to trouble Rahim, who rocks back and pulls very well to deep square leg

41.4 - Moeen Ali to Rahim, FOUR, oh dear! Root at deep backward square leg didn't see the ball coming and it escaped for four. Flighted delivery from Ali, Rahim sweeps well and goes into the 60s now

40.5 - J Anderson to Mahmudullah, FOUR, it's an outside edge but there is no one at slip, third man is too square and he can't get there. Good length delivery outside off stump, Mahmudullah drives away from the body and gets away with the edge. He's just one hit away from becoming the first Bangladeshi player to record a World Cup hundred

39.1 - Woakes to Mahmudullah, FOUR, short ball on the stumps, Mahmudullah hangs back and pulls, puts it behind square on the on-side, Hales runs to his left from fine leg and puts in the dive but the ball escapes. Mahmudullah moves into the 90s now

36.4 - Jordan to Rahim, FOUR, it's almost a sweep. Full and outside off stump, Rahim gets down on one knee and smashes it through square leg. That would be embarrassing for fast bowler

35.1 - Broad to Mahmudullah, FOUR, that's a great start to the powerplay! Full and in the slot, Mahmudullah goes leg-side and goes inside-out, lofts it over extra-cover. That was a terrific shot

31.4 - Moeen Ali to Rahim, FOUR, good shot from Rahim! It was tossed up from Ali, Rahim kneels down and slog sweeps it for a one bounce four over deep mid-wicket

27.3 - Broad to Rahim, FOUR, good thinking from Rahim, it was banged in short and outside off, Rahim waits for it, opens the face of the bat and dabs it fine to the third man fence, Broad was not amused with that shot

25.1 - Broad to Rahim, FOUR, great shot from Rahim to welcome Broad into the attack, it was short of length delivery well wide outside off, Rahim rocks back and cuts it beautifully past a diving backward point, the ball rockets away to the fence

25.0 - Jordan to Mahmudullah, FOUR, lovely shot! It was touch fuller and outside off, Mahmudullah gets on top of the bounce and drives it past cover, who dives to his left but can't stop the ball, the ball runs away to the fence in no time

16.3 - Woakes to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, Woakes provides width outside off, Sarkar dispatches it with ease, he cuts it to the right of backward point, no chance for the third man fielder with the short boundary

13.0 - Woakes to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, gorgeous shot! The extra ball has cost England and Woakes four runs. Fuller and just outside off, Sarkar presses forward and creams the drive through extra cover, Jordan at sweeper didn't even bother to get around it, he knew it was timed too well

11.3 - Jordan to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, beautiful shot! Jordan just releasing the pressure that was built up by Anderson and Broad. Good length ball just outside off, Sarkar drives it on the up through cover-point

11.1 - Jordan to Mahmudullah, FOUR, cracking shot! Poor delivery from Jordan. Short and wide, Mahmudullah pounced onto it, he cracks it between backward point and cover-point, the short boundary does the rest

8.2 - J Anderson to Mahmudullah, FOUR, streaky! Pitched well outside off and nips back in sharply, Mahmudullah is cramped for room as he goes for the cut, the ball takes the inside edge and goes past the stumps. Woakes was very square and the ball had enough to reach the fence. It was not far away from the off-pole

6.2 - J Anderson to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, back of a length and outside off, Sarkar waits for the ball to come and steers it past the right of backward point, no one at third man and the ball runs away to the boundary

5.3 - Broad to Mahmudullah, FOUR, edged and four! England won't mind that. They are thinking about wickets. Fuller and close to off, Mahmudullah pushes at it with no footwork, the outside edge rolls down to the vacant third man region

1.5 - Broad to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, lovely shot! Tad overpitched and the room was also provided, Sarkar leans forward, opens the face of the bat and drives it past the diving cover fielder. The timing was superb on that

47.3 - Broad to S Rahman, SIX, down the track! Has he connected well? Yes he has! Timely blow from Rahman! Broad banged it short on seeing Rahman advance down the track, but Rahman manages to time the pull well enough for it to clear deep mid-wicket

44.5 - Woakes to Rahim, SIX, good shot from Rahim! Low full toss, Woakes misses the attempted yorker, Rahim goes off-side, does extremely well to get under this ball and slogs it hard over deep mid-wicket

26.4 - Jordan to Mahmudullah, SIX, top-edge and six! It was short again from Jordan, Mahmudullah was not expecting the ball to get big on him as he went for the pull, gets a top-edge and the short side boundary on the on-side does the rest, that ball carried 59 metres

17.5 - Moeen Ali to Soumya Sarkar, SIX, he has put that into orbit, it was a rank long hop from Ali, Sarkar rocks back and muscles the pull over the deep mid-wicket fence

14.2 - Woakes to Mahmudullah, SIX, bang! Mahmudullah has decided to take on the bowling. Gives the charge and Woakes digs it in short, he smacks the pull in front of square, hits it flat and just over deep mid-wicket

49.0 - Jordan to S Rahman, out Caught by Eoin Morgan!! This is just the over England wanted at this stage. Full and in the slot, Rahman should have put it away, maybe he was a little late in trying to loft, the bat turns in his hands and it goes up in the air, mid-on runs back a few steps, before completing an easy catch. S Rahman c Eoin Morgan b Jordan 14(12) [6s-1]

47.5 - Broad to Rahim, out Caught by Jordan!! He's mistimed this and Jordan takes an easy catch. Full and outside off stump, the leg-cutter in fact, Rahim tries to go over mid-wicket with a slog, but the ball takes a thick outside edge and goes high in the air, the man at sweeper takes a few steps forward, settles under it and takes it well. End of a fine hand from the former Bangladeshi captain. Rahim c Jordan b Broad 89(77) [4s-8 6s-1]

45.4 - J Anderson to Rahim, out Mahmudullah Run Out!! Slower ball on the stumps from over the wicket, Rahim guides it to short third man, they try to steal a run, but Woakes fires an accurate throw at the striker's end and catches Mahmudullah well short of his crease. Mahmudullah walks off to a standing ovation. He has played a brilliant knock. Maybe Bangladesh won't mind this wicket as Mahmudullah was looking very tired. Mahmudullah run out (Woakes) 103(138) [4s-7 6s-2]

21.5 - Moeen Ali to Shakib, out Caught by J Root!! Shakib goes early and Bangladesh are in trouble now. It was drifting in around off, Shakib pushes at it as he thought it will come through with the angle, but the ball spins away, enough to take the outside edge to Root, who swallows it easily at slip. Mooen Ali is delighted with this breakthrough. Shakib c J Root b Moeen Ali 2(6)

20.2 - Jordan to Soumya Sarkar, out Caught by Buttler!! Excellent ball by Jordan. It was the short ball from Jordan, Sarkar was surprised by the steep bounce as it got big on him, he tries to duck under it, but can't drop his wrists in time. The ball brushes the glove, the keeper collects and the umpire raises his finger in a flash. Sarkar won't be happy with how he got out there. He was looking solid and he is very disappointed as he walks away. Soumya Sarkar c Buttler b Jordan 40(52) [4s-5 6s-1]

2.1 - J Anderson to Tamim, out Caught by J Root!! Bangladesh in trouble! Both their openers are back in the hut in just the third over. Top class swing bowling from Anderson. Pushes this across the left-hander, Tamim had to play that, prods across and pokes at it, the outside edge goes at a good height to Root at first slip. Tamim doesn't make the most of the let off he got in the previous over. Tamim c J Root b J Anderson 2(7)

0.4 - J Anderson to Kayes, out Caught by Jordan!! Anderson strikes early! Excellent captaincy by Morgan, for having three slips first up. It was slightly short of length and jags away late, Kayes feels for the ball away from the body, the ball grazes the outside edge and flies to third slip, where Jordan swallows it comfortably. Not the start Bangladesh would have hoped for. Kayes c Jordan b J Anderson 2(2)

1.4 - Broad to Tamim, 1 run, dropped! After pouching an easy one in the previous over, Jordan puts down a tough one. Excellent bowling from Broad, pitched up and lured Tamim into the drive, the batsman drives with laden feet and the edge flies to the left of third slip, Jordan dives and gets a hand to it, but could not hold on

43.3 - Broad to Mahmudullah, 1 run, misfield and Mahmudullah becomes the first Bangladeshi player to record a World Cup hundred. It is also his maiden ODI hundred. Wow! Rahim pumps his fist after completing the single. Shows what it means to the Bangladeshi team. Mahmudullah takes the helmet off and raises his bat. He also kisses the badge on the helmet before blowing a kiss. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Mahmudullah dabs it to backward point, the fielder fumbles and they take the run. Rahim had to put in the dive as the fielder had a shy at the striker's end

40.3 - J Anderson to Mahmudullah, 1 run, century stand between these two and that gets the Bangladeshi fans going in the stands. Good length delivery outside off stump, Mahmudullah dabs it to third man

39.4 - Woakes to Rahim, 2 runs, goes aerial and the ball plugs at deep mid-wicket, but that brings up his 21st ODI fifty. Another timely knock under pressure from the little man. This is his third fifty in this World Cup, the first Bangladeshi player to do so. Full and in the slot, Rahim slogs well over the infield but the ball almost stops in the deep

23.0 - Jordan to Mahmudullah, 1 run, Mahmudullah gets to his 13th ODI fifty with a quick single, consecutive fifties for him. It was a full delivery outside off, Mahmudullah drives it wide of mid-off and sets off, he makes it to the other end even though Anderson has a shy at the stumps

46.1 - Shakib to Woakes, FOUR, flighted delivery on the leg stump, Woakes sweeps it along the ground to backward square leg

45.2 - Taskin Ahmed to Woakes, FOUR, this time he's picked the slower ball very early, waited for it to come and lofted it easily over extra-cover. Poor thinking from Taskin to opt for the slower ball again

44.0 - Rubel to Buttler, FOUR, and again! Almost a Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V of the previous ball. Rubel bowls one full and outside off stump, Buttler sends it to the right of short third man. Bad finish to the over from Rubel

43.5 - Rubel to Buttler, FOUR, brilliant placement! With third man inside the ring, Buttler anticipates a full ball or a yorker and makes room, as it came very full, Buttler sliced the drive with an open face and split backward point and short third man to perfection

42.1 - S Rahman to Buttler, FOUR, short ball, bad ball at this stage, Buttler rocks back and muscles the pull shot through mid-wicket. 7th ODI fifty for Buttler and it's come off just 41 balls. What a knock!

41.3 - Taskin Ahmed to Buttler, FOUR, in the air and that's a brave hit under pressure! Short of a length on the stumps, Buttler goes off-side and gets into a great position to scoop it easily over the keeper's head

31.4 - Taskin Ahmed to Buttler, FOUR, gives the charge to the bowler and boy, what a shot that is! He didn't try to overhit the ball, just plays an extended forward push, the timing on that was too good and the man at sweeper had no chance as it raced away for four

31.2 - Taskin Ahmed to Buttler, FOUR, full and outside off stump, just a bit of inswing on this ball, Buttler leans forward and plays a lovely drive, the ball goes to the left of mid-off, who dives in vain. The England vice-captain is looking very positive here. He looks determined as well!

24.2 - Rubel to J Root, FOUR, brilliant shot! It is poor bowling from Rubel, banged in short, doesn't rise up as much as he expected, Root swivels and pulls it in front of square, no chance for the deep square leg fielder to stop that. Mortaza was not too pleased with that delivery

19.3 - Mortaza to Hales, FOUR, poor stuff from the Bangladeshi captain, short and offers width outside off, Hales hangs back and cuts it past backward point and cover-point. Hales is looking in fine touch now

19.2 - Mortaza to Hales, FOUR, can't bowl short at that pace, it was 124kph, Hales is quick to transfer his weight onto the back foot and pulls it in front of square, no chance for the deep square fielder

14.1 - A Sunny to Bell, FOUR, magnificent shot! It was short and on the leg stump, Bell was quick to rock back and pulls it to the deep mid-wicket fence

12.4 - A Sunny to Bell, FOUR, bowls this one slightly flatter and gives him a bit of width, Bell waits for it and cuts it to the left of backward point, who gives chase, but was never going to beat the ball to the fence

11.1 - Taskin Ahmed to Hales, FOUR, short and slightly wide outside off, Hales goes for the cut, but gets an outside edge that flies through the vacant second slip region and runs away to the fence, not the ideal start for Taskin

7.3 - A Sunny to Hales, FOUR, shortish and just outside off, Hales rocks back and cuts it to the sweeper cover fence, gets off the mark with a boundary off the first ball

7.0 - Mortaza to Bell, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Bell, it was slightly back of a length and just outside off, Bell punches it past extra cover to finish the over on a high, 13 runs came off that over

6.5 - Mortaza to Bell, FOUR, touch fuller and outside off, Bell picks the off-cutter and lofts it over cover with ease, the ball runs away to the fence

6.3 - Mortaza to Bell, FOUR, classic shot from Bell, it was a shortish delivery well outside off, Bell stays back in the crease, opens the face of the bat and drives it square of the wicket for a boundary

6.0 - Rubel to Bell, FOUR, great shot from Bell to end the over, it made a sweet sound off the bat, it was banged in short and Bell was quick to rock back, he pulls it through mid-wicket and the ball rockets away to the fence

4.1 - Mortaza to Bell, FOUR, good shot from Bell, it was full and outside off, Bell lofts it inside-out over cover and the ball goes on the bounce to the deep extra cover fence

4.0 - Rubel to Moeen Ali, FOUR, another edge and four! It was on a good length and angled across off, Ali pushes at it tentatively, gets an inside edge that rolls past the stumps and runs away to the fine leg fence

1.4 - Rubel to Moeen Ali, FOUR, good shot from Ali, it was slightly wide outside off, Ali pounces on it and cuts it past backward point, the fielder at third man could only watch it run away to the fence

1.1 - Rubel to Moeen Ali, FOUR, full and outside off, Ali goes for the drive off the front foot, gets an outside edge that runs past first slip and crashes into the third man fence, there was no second slip in place and things would have been interesting if there was one

47.2 - Taskin Ahmed to Broad, SIX, he's pulled that and he's connected that very well! This man can bat! He's no mug with the bat. Short ball not rising much, Broad rocks back and pulls powerfully and it goes all the way over deep mid-wicket

40.1 - A Sunny to Buttler, SIX, that is an excellent shot! Flighted delivery on the leg stump, Buttler steps out and also makes room, goes inside-out over wide long-off and gets a 96-metre six

48.3 - Rubel to J Anderson, out Bowled!! Game, set and match. England are out of the World Cup. What a ball under pressure. Full and fast, swinging away from the left-hander as well, Anderson doesn't get behind the line of the ball, stays leg-side and misses it. The ball crashes into the base of middle-stump. Bangladesh have qualified for the knockouts for the first time. J Anderson b Rubel 0(2)

48.1 - Rubel to Broad, out Bowled!! Knocked him over. What a bowler. He has tried so hard all day and delivered quality goods when it mattered. Oh no! They are checking for the no-ball, but Rubel is fine. Pacy length ball at 142.2kph, Broad was not only beaten for pace, but the ball also tailed away from him, Broad exposed all the stumps and it hit the top of off stump. This is a timely wicket from Rubel. Broad has a word with Anderson as he walks off. Gestures to him that the ball is revesing a bit. Broad b Rubel 9(6) [6s-1]

46.0 - Taskin Ahmed to Jordan, out Jordan Run Out!! Drama! Absolutely drama out there. I didn't see enough conclusive evidence to rule that OUT, but the third umpire thought otherwise. Firstly, why would you go for a non-existent run at this stage Jordan? He pushed this towards cover and set off immediately, the fielder got to the ball and under-armed it onto the stumps. Jordan turned back and put in the dive, he made his ground but the bat bounced just when the ball hit the stumps. Disaster for England. Coach Peter Moores got up from his seat and walked straight to the fourth umpire to have a chat. Jordan run out (Shakib) 0(1)

45.5 - Taskin Ahmed to Buttler, out Caught by Rahim!! Is there a twist in the tale? I was just about to type this is surely England's game now and Buttler has nicked one to the keeper. Nothing but a full ball outside off stump, Buttler backs away and looks to run it down to third man, but he was off balance while meeting the ball and gets a thick edge. Fourth catch for Rahim today. Buttler is absolutely distraught in the dug-out and he holds his head with his hands. He shakes his head as well. Buttler c Rahim b Taskin Ahmed 65(52) [4s-6 6s-1]

35.4 - Mortaza to J Root, out Caught by Rahim!! It's a clear nick and it's an easy catch for the keeper. This is a big, big wicket for Bangladesh. The captain has taken another important wicket for his side. He has his hands aloft and runs around the Adelaide Oval like a bird. Leg-cutter on a good length, Root pushes at it away from the body, gets a thin edge and Rahim makes no mistake. Root was holding one end up and Bangladesh have got him. England will have to be very careful here. The batting powerplay has once again done the trick for the bowling side. J Root c Rahim b Mortaza 29(47) [4s-2]

29.4 - Taskin Ahmed to James Taylor, out Caught by Kayes!! Excellent captaincy from Mortaza. He had a slip for the new batsman and Taylor has picked him out. It was shortish and outside off, Taylor shuffles across and slashes at it, the outside edge flies to Kayes at first slip. Good take from him. Taylor was in no position to play that shot, he was trying to do too many things at once. He was livid with himself as he made his way back to the pavilion. James Taylor c Kayes b Taskin Ahmed 1(4)

26.4 - Rubel to Eoin Morgan, out Caught by Shakib!! England in shambles! Morgan has been dismissed for a duck. The umpires check for a no-ball, Rubel is once again fine. Bangladesh are right on top. It was another short delivery aimed at the batsman, Morgan decides to take it on, swivels and pulls it to deep backward square, Shakib runs to his right from fine leg, judges it well and holds on to a superb catch. Pressure on England now. Eoin Morgan c Shakib b Rubel 0(3)

26.1 - Rubel to Bell, out Caught by Rahim!! Peach of a delivery! Rubel gives a staring send off to Ian Bell. A very crucial breakthrough for Bangladesh. They have removed the well set batsman. It was a short of length delivery that reared up, Bell went for the glide to third man, the ball got big on him and took the outside edge on the way to Rahim. The umpire checks for the no-ball, but Rubel was fine on that account. It was the effort delivery from him. Bell c Rahim b Rubel 63(82) [4s-7]

19.5 - Mortaza to Hales, out Caught by Rahim!! What a comeback! Just when we thought Hales was looking in good touch, he has given it away. Mortaza is pumped up. A good length delivery around off, Hales fiddles with it away from the body, the outside edge goes to Rahim, who makes no mistake. Timely wicket for Bangladesh. Hales c Rahim b Mortaza 27(34) [4s-4]

7.2 - A Sunny to Moeen Ali, out Moeen Ali Run Out!! Oh dear! What has happened here? Ali comes down the wicket and pushes it to the left of the bowler, there was a mix-up as he was looking for the single there, but Bell was busy ball watching, Ali was halfway down the track when the fielder from mid-wicket gets across, picks up the ball and fires in the throw at the striker's end. Ali turns back and tries to get in with a dive, but Rahim breaks the stumps before he could even reach close to the crease. Bell there didn't respond because he thought the bowler will stop the ball. England have thrown away a wicket here after a good start. It was a needless run attempted by Moeen. Moeen Ali run out (Soumya Sarkar/Rahim) 19(21) [4s-3]

47.4 - Taskin Ahmed to Woakes, 2 runs, in the airrrrrrr and he's dropped him. Is that the match? It was a simple chance. Length ball outside off stump, Woakes mistimes the loft, Tamim ran in from long-on then realises that he has to go back, he does so and gets there in time, tries to reverse-cup it but it pops out. He also tries to grab it with his left hand on the second attempt but it goes to ground. The Bangladeshi fielders and the fans can't believe it

37.4 - Mortaza to Buttler, no run, was that dropped? Yes, it was, but a very tough chance. Slower delivery outside off stump, Buttler drives it straight back at the bowler, Mortaza couldn't get down low in his followthrough, and the ball hit his right knee

20.2 - A Sunny to Bell, 1 run, fifty for Bell, 34th in ODIs and 5th in World Cup cricket. It was the quicker delivery, Bell nudges it to deep square leg and reaches the milestone. The England dug-out applauds and Root congratulates him

1.5 - Rubel to Moeen Ali, no run, back of a length delivery on leg, Ali fails to work it through the on-side and wears it high on the pad, the umpire raised his finger in a flash after the appeal, but Ali reviews it straightaway, it pitched outside leg and Ali stays
