16.4 Mahmudullah to Bell, OUT, Bangladesh alive again! What a soft dismissal. Bell chipping a length ball from around off stump gently to midwicket. He walks off shaking his head, doesn't make good viewing. Return to the bad days of Bell but dream start for Bangladesh
36.6 Shafiul Islam to Morgan, FOUR, precise timing, precise placement, wonderful shot. Very easily flicked off the legs wide of deep midwicket for four. Shafiul looks despondent but not much wrong from him
6.6 Anderson to Tamim Iqbal, FOUR, he loves that! Full and wide it was only going to end one way. Feet go nowhere but the bat flows through the line and he holds the poise, or pose, as the ball skims to the boundary. Tamim is flying and the crowd love Bangladesh again
30.6 Collingwood to Imrul Kayes, 1 run, OUT, What's happened here?! Kayes gifted his wicket. They've gone upstairs for the run out but he looks well short. Oh dear, that's not what Bangladesh needed. Shahzad sent in a rocket throw from deep square, but there was no need to even chance the second
39.4 Swann to Abdur Razzak, OUT, gone! England have held a blinder, it's Bresnan at long on. Razzak tried to swing it high over midwicket, the ball went miles into the night sky and Bresnan tracked it all the way before diving full length to hold the chance. Bangladesh fading fast now. England are producing another impressive turnaround despite their earlier problems.
Shafiul O'Brien anyone? 41.4 Swann to Shafiul Islam, FOUR, maybe! This was O'Brien-esque! Big wind up and even bigger swing through the line, sending it over cover whistling to the rope
Just to add to the tension it's batting Powerplay time. Fielders have to come in 33 needed from 30. Bangladesh have it all to do. Prayers from the crowd... 45.1 Anderson to Mahmudullah, 5 wides, ...are answered here! Heady stuff for the Bangladeshis as Anderson spears this down the leg side, off it went past Prior and skimmed away for five wides!
48.6 Bresnan to Mahmudullah, FOUR, Mahmudullah has done it! Bangladesh have done it! What an a partnership! Brilliant victory is sealed by Mahmudullah punching a drive through the covers. The Bangladesh players come streaming onto the field, Mahmudullah stands arms aloft and the World Cup party is back on!
