knocked leg stump out of the park and Ives will not get his hundred. Poor lad, stays hunched over his bat after hearing timber and collects the handshakes. It was full, it was curling back at him, his feet were rooted outside leg to try and make sure he has room to open up the off side but he couldn't adjust to the pace of the swing through the air
England U19 vs Zim U19, 15th Match, Group C at Chattogram, Jan 31 2016 - Ball by Ball Commentary
So that's all we have for you from Chittagong. England are through to the quarter-final. Zimbabwe have another shot at it when they play West Indies next, and that match in will be a straight shootout to decide the other team that goes through from Group C. Thank you and goodbye.
"Very happy, we haven't just snuck by teams. We've got big wins and the batters are getting big runs," Brad Taylor says, "Everyone's chipping in, Burny with a hundred as well today. Callum can be really effective at times, thought giving him a go would work and it came out brilliantly. [Who would he like to play in the quarter-finals?]In the past we've beaten Pakistan, but not beaten Sri Lanka. So Pakistan will be our preference. I don't think the spinners bowled as well today as they have in the previous games."
"Obviously it was a bit tough," says the Zimbabwe captain Brandon Mavuta, "Need to make better use of the Powerplay and that bowlers need to put the ball in the right areas. Ives played well, showed that there are many guys who are able to bat. What's left is to forget about what happened today and focus on the next game and win that"
3.30 pm A comprehensive finish for England. They put a massive 288 on the board, and then their bowlers took charge. Sohaib Maqsood was zippy, with a brilliant awaswinger and potential for reverse swing. Sam Curran has a deadly inswinger for a little left-arm fast bowler and Mason Crane is a legspinner to look out for in the international circuit; the way he gets the ball to drift and dip is something special. Plays for Hampshire, like another rather famous leggie once did. But Jack Burnham for his 106 off 104 balls to set up this 129-run victory is the Man of the Match. "Lovely day, loved every minute of it. Got to make the most of every opportunity I get. I thought if I could take it deep, I know I have the power to clear the ropes. Hope to do it again. Love hitting sixes. Practice sometimes. You try to hit along the floor as often as you can, but sometimes. Couple of the lads love a game of golf, so will do that in our downtime"
