This 50 over competition begins today from the Oval with a match between England & Bangladesh.
on paper looks one sided but even so in reality it could be very different
Bangladesh are batting 1st. They have scored 82-1 after 16 overs
Rashid has been dropped in favour of an extra seamer.
Bangladesh have made 305-6 in their 50 overs
Plunkett 4-59
England reach the Bangladesh score in 47.2 overs. 308-2
Joe Root was the man of the match for his 125 not out
Hoping Chris Woakes is ok to continue in the tournament.
Sounds like he may have a side strain
.
Important bowler for England.
New Zealand take on Australia in today's match from Edgbaston
Rain ruining a close match.
Australia were 53 for 3 in nine overs, having been set a revised DLS target of 235 in 33. But the rain came before the 20 overs which are needed to constitute a match.
Today's match is Sri Lanka vs South Africa at the Oval
In one way it should be evenly balanced but expecting S. Africa to shade it
