India are out of this. Bangladesh are not going to let this opportunity slip.

They don't need to, all they have to is stand there and watch the ball, it's either wide or there to be hit, poor, poor bowling so far.

True! I'd like to say Bangladesh benefitted from the earlier conditions but they were precise with line and length and stifled the batsmen.

Hello, wicket just fell!

Seems they took the advice to the extreme!! No point in just standing there and watching the ball and then padding up, easy lbw, Bang 24/1.

Current batsmen, 1 is 17 and the other 18, excellent! Be great if them two could see the game home, what a story that would be!!

England have fined several members of their World Cup squad for a "breach of team discipline" following Friday's defeat by New Zealand.

Team management have refused to name those involved, who went to a nightclub after the game in St Lucia.

The fines were handed out following a team meeting at their hotel.

England play their second World Cup match against Canada on Sunday, with their final group game against Kenya following six days later.

Fast bowler Steve Harmison, meanwhile, has backed England to bounce back after losing to the Kiwis.

He told the BBC: "I thought we would struggle to get wickets with the new ball but that was the one thing we did, and did it well, so the rest will fall into place."

Harmison, who retired from one-day internationals at the end of last year added: "I think we need to get used to batting on those wickets. I don't think we're really tuned in to that yet.

"I think playing against two minnows in the next week will help us as we can get big scores on the board and gain confidence."

Did it involve golf clubs and karaoke?

India getting taken apart by some kids. What a shambles. Khan is bowling some ****e, short on the off stump getting slapped everywhere. How come India couldn't hit over the top during the powerplays?

India are playing with all the intensity of a reluctant aunt playing charades after Christmas dinner
