Match over
Commentary :
0.0 : Hello and a warm welcome to the opening game of the Champions Trophy, 2017. The first match will be taking place between the hosts, England and the Asian tigers, Bangladesh at the Oval. The home side are looking very strong in the ODI format and are coming into this tournament fresh from a series win against South Africa. Bangladesh also would be high on confidence as well as they have risen to their highest ever ranking in the ODIs.
Last time when these two sides met in an ICC tournament, it was the 2015 ODI World Cup, where the Asian team got the better of the then English side. Times have changed since then and England would be aiming for revenge in front of the home crowd while Bangladesh would look to create another upset. Toss coming up!
TOSS - ENGLAND WIN THE TOSS AND HAVE ELECTED TO FIELD FIRST!
Eoin Morgan says they will bowl first. Adds it's a 1030 start and the wicket looks good, so if the wicket will do anything it'll do it now. Mentions everybody is fit and it's more or less the same team that played against South Africa in Leeds. Let's everybody know there's one change as Jake Ball comes in for Adil Rashid. When asked about Jason Roy's patchy form, he says that he's been doing well in the nets and backs him completely. Opines there's no trouble with Ben Stokes, just a tactical cha
Mashrafe Mortaza says that they would have bowled first as well. Mentions that there will be swing on offer early on but overall it looks a good wicket. Adds that they will have to post a good total and then field well. Informs that all his players are fit. Says that in the last couple of years, they have improved but so have England. Ends by saying that they don't fear the opposition and would look to play hard cricket out in the middle.
Pitch Report - There will be some movement for the pacers. The England bowlers will get a lot of movement and bounce, but it will all depend on how they use it and how the Bangladesh batsmen apply themselves, reckons Ian Bishop.
ENGLAND XI - Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan(C), Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler(WK), Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Liam Plunkett, Mark Wood, Jake Ball.
BANGLADESH XI - Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Imrul Kayes, Mushfiqur Rahim(WK), Mahmudullah, Shakib Al Hasan, Sabbir Rahman, Mosaddek Hossain, Mashrafe Mortaza(C), Rubel Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman.
The players have made their way out in the middle and are getting ready for their respective national anthems.
The two Bangladeshi openers, Tamim Iqbal and Soumya Sarkar have taken their place in the centre. Chris Woakes to start with the first new ball. He has a couple of slips in place. Here we go...
0.1 : C Woakes to T Iqbal, Not much swing there, maybe a slight hint of movement away. Woakes fires it full and just outside off, Tamim Iqbal prods forward in defense but is beaten past the outside edge.
0.2 : C Woakes to T Iqbal, Another one full in length, on the base of off stump, Tamim leans ahead a touch and drives it to mid off.
0.3 : C Woakes to T Iqbal, Good length delivery quite close to the off pole, hangs back in defense as he drops it down on the ground on the on side.
0.4 : C Woakes to T Iqbal, That's going a long way across. It's on a length as Tamim lets it be.
0.5 : C Woakes to T Iqbal, Angling across on a good length, Tamim offers a firm back foot punch but it's straight to the man at cover.
0.6 : C Woakes to T Iqbal, A maiden to start things off with. Makes this one go away from around off, Iqbal with a slightly opened face dabs it down square on the off side.
Mark Wood to bowl from the other new ball.
1.1 : M Wood to S Sarkar, Attacks straightaway. Gets this length delivery to come back in, Mark Wood. Soumya Sarkar attempts to play across the line but is rapped on the pads. No appeal there as it was going down leg.
1.2 : M Wood to S Sarkar, Length delivery around off, Sarkar keeps it out from deep within his crease.
1.3 : M Wood to S Sarkar, That's an excellent effort from Eoin Morgan, setting an example early up. Sarkar lunges forward and drives this hard towards extra cover. The English captain dives full stretch to his left and does extremely well to get a hand on it. Saves a certain boundary and the batsmen can only take one.
1.4 : M Wood to T Iqbal, On a back of a length, in the off stump channel, Tamim makes a watchful leave.
1.5 : M Wood to T Iqbal, Short of a good length, shaping away from around off, kept out off the back foot rather solidly.
1.6 : M Wood to T Iqbal, Wide! Wood goes short and really bends his back this time, it's too short though as the umpire signals it as a wide.
M Wood to T Iqbal, Just back of a length again, blocked out with a straight blade to end the over.
2.1 : C Woakes to S Sarkar, Shortish length delivery holding its line around off, Sarkar steers it along the ground towards gully.
2.2 : C Woakes to S Sarkar, Short and on off, Sarkar gets on top of the bounce and defends it down in front of covers.
2.3 : C Woakes to S Sarkar, In the air but it's well away from the fielder. Woakes bowls a back of a length delivery well outside off, Soumya Sarkar stands tall and punches it uppishly. It through the right of the backward point fielder and one run is taken as third man mops it up in the deep. A bit indecisive in the running though from the Bangladeshi batsmen.
2.4 : C Woakes to T Iqbal, Length delivery on off, Tamim offers a straight blade in defense.
2.5 : C Woakes to T Iqbal, Shot. Fuller length delivery straighter in line, Tamim Iqbal leans ahead and flicks it past the mid-wicket fielder. It's a big boundary out there so the batsmen get three.
2.6 : C Woakes to S Sarkar, On the shorter side of things, it's defended off the back foot by the batsman.
Chris Woakes is off the field. After he delivered the last ball, he held his waist. A bit of side strain maybe. Let's hope that it's not too serious. Jonny Bairstow is on the field in his place.
3.1 : M Wood to T Iqbal, Tight line from Mark Wood as he pitches this on a back of a length, very close to off stump as it's solidly kept out from Tamim.
3.2 : M Wood to T Iqbal, Super piece of fielding from Jason Roy. Tamim hangs back and opens the face to dab it to the right of backward point. Roy runs and dives to stop it. Stops the batsmen from taking a run as he quickly fires a throw at the striker's end.
3.3 : M Wood to T Iqbal, Coming back into the batsman, he's struck on the thigh pad as he attempts to put bat on ball.
3.4 : M Wood to T Iqbal, The batsman defends it from within the crease.
3.5 : M Wood to T Iqbal, Full and attacking the stumps, driven straight to the mid on fielder for nothing.
3.6 : M Wood to T Iqbal, Fullish delivery speared outside off, Iqbal drives it to the right of mid off.
Jake Ball replaces Woakes.
4.1 : J Ball to S Sarkar, Jake Ball starts his spell from around the wicket, angles in a length ball on middle and off, Soumya Sarkar stays behind the line and defends.
4.2 : J Ball to S Sarkar, Angling in once again, around off, defended.
4.3 : J Ball to S Sarkar, FOUR! Too full, too straight and it's punished. Angling in on leg, Sarkar picks it off his pads and flicks it through backward square leg for a boundary. First one of the tournament.
4.4 : J Ball to S Sarkar, FOUR! Two in two for Sarkar. He's getting a move on here now. Sees the full ball outside off and creams the drive through the covers to send it across the rope.
4.5 : J Ball to S Sarkar, Shaping in on a back of a length, kept out off the back foot.
4.6 : J Ball to S Sarkar, Bit dangerous. Ball bowls a length ball outside off, Sarkar wants to leave it but does so very late. The ball goes off the bottom part of the willow behind to the slip cordon.
5.1 : M Wood to T Iqbal, Full and outside off, Iqbal goes for the booming drive. Ends up playing it off the outer half of the bat past point for a single.
5.2 : M Wood to S Sarkar, Length ball on off, Soumya with a back foot defense to see it out.
5.3 : M Wood to S Sarkar, That would have been really close. Too early and absolutely unnecessary to take chances at this stage of the game. Sarkar turns this towards square leg and takes off. Jonny Bairstow, the substitute fielder, moves to his left and fires a throw at the striker's end. Just misses, but had that hit its mark, Tamim would have been gone.
5.4 : M Wood to T Iqbal, On middle and leg, worked away to square leg. No run taken.
5.5 : M Wood to T Iqbal, Length delivery shaping away, negotiated well from inside his crease.
5.6 : M Wood to T Iqbal, FOUR! EDGED AND AWAY! Short and it's rising quickly on Tamim Iqbal. He looks to pull but gets a top edge. Luckily for him, it flies over Jos Buttler who leaps to try and take it. Boundary to end the over.
6.1 : J Ball to S Sarkar, From around the wicket, it's full on the stumps, driven to mid on.
6.2 : J Ball to S Sarkar, Ooohh... That was close. It hits the deck and straightens up considerably. Sarkar has a tame push at it and almost edges it as it goes through to the keeper.
6.3 : J Ball to S Sarkar, Angling in, worked away on the leg side.
6.4 : J Ball to S Sarkar, The batsman was beaten and missed the line of the delivery.
6.5 : J Ball to S Sarkar, Back of a length delivery which is comfortably blocked out by Soumya Sarkar.
6.6 : J Ball to S Sarkar, DROPPED! Moeen Ali puts down an easy one. Everybody probably thought Bangladesh have lost their first wicket of the day. Wouldn't blame 'em either. Full and angling in, Sarkar flicks it uppishly in front of square leg. Ali moves to his left and gets both his hands to it, only to spill it. Was a dolly, should have been taken that. Soumya Sarkar survives. Maiden over from Ball!
7.1 : M Wood to T Iqbal, Short of a length delivery to Tamim Iqbal, defended off the back foot.
7.2 : M Wood to T Iqbal, On a good length, Iqbal works it away on the leg side for no run.
7.3 : M Wood to T Iqbal, FOUR! That's a beautiful shot, absolutely beautiful. Quite full on middle and off, Tamim stands his ground and drives it straight back. It's hit so perfectly nobody has a chance to stop that.
7.4 : M Wood to T Iqbal, Outside off on a good length, run down to third man for an easy run.
7.5 : M Wood to S Sarkar, Shorter ball angling in, pulled away to mid-wicket.
7.6 : M Wood to S Sarkar, Fuller delivery which is driven to the mid off fielder.

8.1 : J Ball to T Iqbal, Defended off the back foot by the batsman.
8.2 : J Ball to T Iqbal, FOUR! Angling down leg, Iqbal makes Ball pay for the poor line. He just whips it fine down the leg side and beats the diving fine leg fielder to get a boundary.
8.3 : J Ball to T Iqbal, Hurls it on a length, outside off, Tamim leans ahead and lets it through.
8.4 : J Ball to T Iqbal, Fuller length delivery from Jake Ball, driven towards the mid on fielder.

9.1 : M Wood to T Iqbal, Good length delivery on middle, Iqbal works it in front of mid-wicket and scurries across to complete the run.
9.2 : M Wood to S Sarkar, On the shorter side of the length, a little outside off, it's at a good pace and this hurries Sarkar into the pull shot. He mistimes it to the right of the mid-wicket fielder for nothing.
9.3 : M Wood to S Sarkar, Short of a length outside off, Soumya pushes it in front of mid off and takes another quick run.
9.4 : M Wood to T Iqbal, Stays behind to this one and keeps it out.
9.5 : M Wood to T Iqbal, What happened there? Some good, alert stuff saves Tamim Iqbal. Wood bangs it in short on leg, Iqbal looks to pull but it lobs off the top edge. He doesn't know at first where the ball is. It drops and is spinning back in from the leg side to hit the stumps. The batsman does well to kick it away. Smiles and chuckles all around from the England players.
9.6 : M Wood to T Iqbal, FOUR! Another top edge but he's made better connection this time. Iqbal pulls it over square leg and sends it across the rope for a boundary.
Powerplay 2 has been signalled. Maximum of 4 fielders are allowed outside the inner ring now till the 40th over.
10.1 : J Ball to S Sarkar, SIX! Length delivery outside off, Sarkar dances down the track and tonks it over long on for a maximum. Superb start to the over. Bangladesh getting a move on now!
10.2 : J Ball to S Sarkar, Banged in short outside off, Sarkar looks to upper cut it but misses. He seems to be attacking everything now.
10.3 : J Ball to S Sarkar, FOUR! Cut away! Back of a length delivery, wide outside off, Soumya latches onto the width on offer and cuts it in front of square on the off side for a boundary.
10.4 : J Ball to S Sarkar, Full outside off, driven on the up through cover-point. There's a fielder in the deep now and so just a single taken.
10.5 : J Ball to T Iqbal, Short delivery, angling in. Iqbal mistimes his pull on the leg side for a single.
10.6 : J Ball to S Sarkar, FOUR! Creamed! Over pitched delivery outside off, Sarkar shifts his weight onto the front foot and drives it through covers. There's a big gap there and the ball races to the fence. 16 runs off the over!

Superb over from Stokes, a wicket and just 4 from it.

19.2 : L Plunkett to I Kayes, OUT! Superb catch from Wood! Change of bowling does the trick for England!

Good comeback by England at the death. They were running the risk of Bangladesh posting a big total on the board, but have done well to recover. Bangladesh's openers took a steady approach and played sensibly. But the real impetus came via the Iqbal-Rahim partnership which consisted of 166 runs. The former scored a big ton while the latter made a brisk fifty. Some late hitting from Sabbir took them to a total past 300 but Mortaza's men will feel they fell short by at least 25-30 runs.
England won't be too disappointed with the target they have in front of them. They did decently on the the whole, barring that period where Iqbal and Rahim were playing fluently. It was that 45th over from Plunkett that made all the difference where he dismissed both the set batsmen. With the firepower in their ranks, the hosts will back themselves to chase this down. Join us in a while for the chase.
