... The Run Chase ...
Right then, 125 needed for England to secure back-to-back wins. On the back of good work, England will fancy to chase it down but Bangladesh are coming with three spinners and it will be interesting to see how they play them. Stay tuned as the chase is about to begin.
Chris Woakes is up for a quick chat. He says that they bowled nicely and wickets in the Powerplay are very crucial in this format. Adds that he feels better the more he bowls in T20 cricket. Tells that hitting the length hard is crucial on such wickets and he is glad that they were able to execute that. Credits Adil Rashid by saying that it was a terrific catch from him and it was an important one of the in-form Shakib Al Hasan.
England completely dominated this innings. It was Moeen Ali who started the proceedings and then Livingstone continued in the middle phase. Woakes chipped in the middle phase while giving away just 12 runs in his 4-over spell and also took the big wicket of Al Hasan. Tymal Mills showed his class and ended the innings with three wickets to his name. In the end, England have outclassed Bangladesh to a below-par score and will be fancy chasing it out.
The decision from Mahmudullah to win the toss and opt to bat has completely backfired on him. Both the openers failed to give a solid start and fell in quick succession. After them, the veterans, Al Hasan and Rahim walked out but the former went back cheaply. A partnership was required badly and Mahmudullah joined Rahim to handle the middle phase. But the partnership did not last long and both went while trying to convert their innings into a big one. Nurul Hasan and Nasum Ahmed did well to add some valuable runs in the fag end of the innings.
