Chris Taylor, Fielding coach and sub fielder

It took only eight deliveries for Chris Jordan to show the virtue of pitching the ball up. While James Anderson was in his fifth over before he bowled a delivery that would have hit the stumps, Jordan's ball to Afsar Zazai pitched on off and, drawing the batsman forward, caught the edge on its way to slip. In conditions providing assistance to the bowlers and against batsmen who looked horribly ill at ease against the moving ball, Jordan provided an example that Anderson would do well to follow.

Usually during this World Cup, the DRS system has served to underline the accuracy of the umpires' decisions. On this occasion, however, S Ravi's decision to give Nasir Jamal out to a gloved catch down the leg side could probably be put in the "howler" category. Jamal utilised his review immediately and replays showed the delivery from Jordan has not hit anything: glove, shirt or bat. In retrospect, Jordan was probably fortunate not to have been called for a wide.

If this is Ravi Bopara's final ODI - and it may well be - he gave a pretty decent insight into the valuable cricketer he could have been for England. As well as bowling with skill and variation, he was also, on average, only 4.5mph slower than Stuart Broad. But his finest moment came in the field when Shafiqullah attempted a slog sweep off James Tredwell only to see his thick edge fly high towards deep backward square leg. Bopara, sprinting in from fine leg, covered good ground and, with a late dive to his left, clung on to the ball inches from the ground.

Such was England's injury crisis - both Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes were unavailable for this game due to injury and it was decided there was little point calling up a replacement from the UK - that fielding coach Chris Taylor was included in the squad to be used as a sub fielder if required. While the ICC gave dispensation for Taylor's involvement, it was on the proviso that he could only be utilised after the fit members of the playing squad - Steven Finn and Gary Ballance. 38-year-old Taylor left the professional game at the end of 2011, but remains unusually fit and athletic.
