  B'desh 275-7 (50 ovs) vs Eng | Scorecard

Jordan to bowl his 10th and final over. He starts with three dot balls in a row before Rahman somehow scampers a single from the fourth. Rahman falls off the last delivery of the over, holing out a simple catch to Morgan at mid-off to be dismissed for 14.

Jordan concedes just three runs in the 49th over to finish with two for 59 in 10 overs.

Woakes to bowl the final over of the innings. Arafat Sunny takes one from the first ball before captain Mashrafe Mortaza makes room and lofts the second ball over the off-side for a much-needed four.

Sunny turns the fourth ball behind square on the leg side for two runs before the two batsmen sneak a quick bye from the fifth ball.

Mortaza has a huge swing at the last ball but gets an inside edge for just a single.

Bangladesh finish on a healthy 275 for seven in their 50 overs, despite managing just 38 runs in the last five overs for the loss of three wickets.

But Bangladesh would be happy getting to this total after their horror start, which saw them reeling on eight for two in the third over.

Mahmudullah hit Bangladesh's first ever century in World Cups with a good innings of 103, while Rahim stroked a fluent 89 from 77 balls to rally Bangladesh in the middle overs.

It's a must-win match England as far as their chances of getting to the quarter-finals is concerned. They no doubt have a tough task against Bangladesh's spinners and would be keen to get off to a quick start.

England's run chase will begin in around 40 minutes. Stay tuned!
