Bangladesh v England ODI Series 7th - 12th Oct

As for the arguments about double standards, as Arthur said, I am not sure this was really central to the point.

There is no point banging on about who did what. The problem is people from all countries are behaving poorly, so its time the ICC started actually banning people to stop it.

Let's not let this long winded stuff get in the way of this last deciding game. Wonder if we'll see any changes for England, probably not, it's not England's way as a rule. I hope Stokes transfers his aggression into scoring some runs today.

Bit drizzly out there at present.

Bit drizzly out there at present.

I hope it's abandoned rather than having a t20 type thrash on a soggy ground.

So surprise, surprise the game is starting on time. Remakable that the ground has coped with the rain. Roy out injured so Billings opens with lucky man Vince. Plunkett in for Willey is not a great surprise but is it for the better.

[Aidan11]

Won the toss and put them in again.

Hope that works this time.

[Aidan11]

Possibly not if the first 10 overs are anything to go by.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Bit surprising England's left arm option has been left out.

[Aidan11]

Puzzled why we didn't bat first.

Is Jos a captain who likes to surprise the opposition I wonder?

[Aidan11]

He's certainly surprised me.

[Arthur Crabtree]

England chose to bowl in the last game.

Why not open with Duckett rather than Billings (Sam Billings' name has a bit of a nice, endearing Dickensian rogue ring to it, but a cricinfo article when he mentioned how posh he is made me feel a little antagonistic towards him) as Duckett has done the job for Northants? Probably doesn't matter.

[Arthur Crabtree]

England have won all the tosses.

[hopeforthebest]

This partnership is becoming very dangerous a wicket is necessary. Time for Rashid to buy a wicket?

[Aidan11]

100 up and one wicket down.

Maybe we can keep them down to 250.

[Aidan11]

Even then we might not chase that.
