The Roy thing is potentially terrifying.

Wow, huge five minutes for the context of this match.

Oh and even if Roy has to miss a match or two, our next two matches are AFG (18/6) and SL (21/6). It's not until 25/6 where we play Australia.

They need to restrict WI to something chaseable with five batsmen first.

I'm not loving how completely ineffective Rashid has been so far in this tournament.

Meanwhile Joe is re-inventing himself as England’s greatest all-rounder. Because we don’t have enough of them at the moment.

Meanwhile, Morgan's gone too.

Chris Woakes at 3! What a time to be alive.

Nice and easy, Saint and Greavsie.

Anyone else see Moeen's place in the first XI as in jeopardy now?

An attack consisting of Rashid, Archer, Woakes, Wood, Plunkett, and Stokes (with the option of some part-time "spin" from Root) is just so fierce.

Bangladesh are going to win this at a canter. They're absolutely smashing the Windies bowling.

That was brutal stuff, I'd be surprised if the West Indies go on to the semis after a performance as poor as that (coupled with the beating they got from England).

Hoping England bat first tomorrow.

I've got a horrible lurking fear of them batting first, trying to go twenty to the dozen without one of their best twenty-to-the-dozen-ers against Afghanistan's spinners, coming unstuck, and doing one of their horrible collapses.

It's not likely but it could happen. Them batting first is the fun option; them chasing (they will inevitably bowl Afghanistan out for 230 max.) is the safe one.


Also: everybody laugh at Hampshire!

I think the weather will play a part in this, if England win the toss then they should bowl as there is a chance of disruption later on today.

Ajinkya Rahane managed a golden duck and a second ball duck. How the strawberry float did that happen?
