2.03pm Well, that was a tale of two halves. Australia had visions of 340 at one stage, but Mark Wood's extraction of Steven Smith was a game-changer, before Adil Rashid got stuck into a lower-middle-order that has been confined to the nets for most of a very soggy tour. Eight wickets between them and great support from the rest. England will need 278 to eliminate their oldest rivals, and carry Bangladesh with them into the semi-finals.

Bharath Seervi, our stats guru, says: "Despite some boundaries at the end from Travis Head, the 57 runs that came in the last 10 overs are the least for any side in this tournament."

"We're quite satisfied," says Mark Wood, which is telling. England probably believe they should have killed it off quicker after taking the innings by the throat, but a few sloppy moments in the field undermined their charge. "It's true bounce, but a little bit slow in the middle of the pitch," he adds. We shall see.

Alan will be here for the chase in about 30 minutes. See you then.

AslamSaleeth: "Andrew, you gotta wrong with your adding maths, both shares 8-74" Fair enough
