Bangladesh v England ODI Series 7th - 12th Oct

[Arthur Crabtree]

Looking at the England stats for bowling this year, Mo and Stokes have slowed down a lot in their wicket taking. Out of the regulars, Woakes and Rashid are having the best year. Top ODI bowlers should be going at under 5 an over though, particularly spinners. No one in England's side manages that.

It's quite tricky watching 3 international games at the same time.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Narine and Starc concede less than 4.5 an over, for example (this year).

[Aidan11]

This pair looking comfortable.

[Aidan11]

50 partnership.

[Aidan11]

Ball strikes again.

do we have to start calling him 'Benny'?

In an era of 300-400 scores, will under 6 do the job?

is 6 the new 5?

[Durhamfootman]

almost all the England boys are doing that

[Durhamfootman]

of course, that means that England are obliged to score 350 regularly

[Aidan11]

Five down.

England must be favourites.

Very good so far by England with the ball, have to wonder whether a fit again Wood can get in this side given how well Ball and Woakes have bowled.

Seems as if Bangladesh are still dealing with the fall out of the blown chase in the first ODI, despite this innings they are a very good ODI side at home.

Around the mid noughties, the best were touching under four an over. I think under five is the new level- Steyn, Starc, Tahir operate around there. Over five is just about standard.

That's called good man management.

[Aidan11]

Another stubborn partnership developing.
