46th over: Eng 250-4 - ENGLAND WIN BY SIX WICKETS
One run needed, 30 balls to get 'em/it... Bell pops into the off side, and that's it - he'll finish on 84 not out, a splendid knock. Yardy on 10, and England were never threatened.

45th over: Eng 250-4 (Target: 251)
Shakib now - single, bye, single, two to Yardy - scores level...

44th over: Eng 244-4 (Target: 251)
Shafiul now for the knockings. Yardy deflects off the hip for one, and Bell then cuts loose - sweet clumping drive through the covers for four, slapping pull off the nose for four more. Will this be another? Nope, two this time. Seven needed from 36.

43rd over: Eng 232-4 (Target: 251)
Faisal returns, and Bell pulls for three with a wristy reach. Yardy drives for one to long-off; Bell does the same into the covers. 19 needed from seven overs.

42nd over: Eng 227-4 (Target: 251)
"We'll get 'em in singles," one of the two batsmen must have said. Probably Yardy, seeing that Bell drills a dreamy check-drive inside-out over cover for his fourth four. 24 needed from the remaining eight overs.

41st over: Eng 221-4 (Target: 251)
Razzak again. Bell sweeps sweetly for just one to go to 63, and there really are singles everywhere you want them.

40th over: Eng 217-4 (Target: 251)
Yardy the new batsman after that rather wasteful dismissal from Morgan. Easy pokes into the covers; 34 needed from 60 balls.

39th over: WICKET Morgan c Shafiul b Razzak 23, Eng 213-4 (Target: 251)
Lovely slashing reverse sweep from Morgan for four, but that's a strange shot - lofted straight down midwicket's throat.

38th over: Eng 208-3 (Target: 251)
Little tempter outside off from Mahmu, left alone by Morgan. Silky flick away off middle and leg for four through midwicket. 43 needed from 72 balls, and if England lose this from here, I'll do my next text commentary naked.

37th over: Eng 204-3 (Target: 251)
Singles apiece to leg, drive for one more into the open acres to off.

36th over: Eng 200-3 (Target: 251)
Bell sweeps Mahmu for one. Three dot balls, and then - kaboom! Morgan clouts a five-iron style six over long-on.

35th over: Eng 192-3 (Target: 251)
Shakib again, driven sweetly by Bell for two more. Singles everywhere you look; England cruising.

34th over: Eng 188-3 (Target: 251)
Dasher to leg, and that's Bell's 50 - 68 balls, three fours, and he's timed it beautifully this evening.

33rd over: Eng 185-3 (Target: 251)
Oh, that is lovely from Bell - skip down the track, chippy drive over the infield and away for four. Single turned away off the hips to move to 47.

32nd over: Eng 180-3 (Target: 251)
Morgan the new man, Mahmu the bowler - singles turned and dabbed away as the floodlights begin to burn bright in the Nottingham sky. Three more byes, and Siddique is left leaden-footed

31st over: WICKET Collingwood c Siddique b Shakib 33, Eng 173-3 (Target: 251)
Glimpse there of Rahim being wheeled into an ambulance. Fingers crossed. Horrible slog-sweep from Colly, the ball going straight up in the air and straight back down into stand-in stumper Siddique's gloves.

30th over: Eng 171-2 (Target: 251)
Even a hat-trick might not swing the balance for Bangladesh, but they're still trying gamely. The fielding's mainly been very good today. Bell misses out on Hossain's full toss, and there's another ball bouncing up unexpectedly.

29th over: Eng 167-2 (Target: 251)
Something a bit more aggressive from Collingwood, but it's mistimed and that's only one off Razzak. A loose, short ball is sent on its way behind square on the leg-side and the required rate sinks below four.

28th over: Eng 161-2 (Target: 251)
Not a whole bundle of entertainment for the crowd here as Bell and Collingwood efficiently knock the ball about, Hossain the bowler.

27th over: Eng 156-2 (Target: 251)
Siddique's stuck a lid on for this task. Sensible. Oops - down leg, and that will go for five wides. Could be trouble here. Single, single, muted atmos; lovely lofted drive from Belly for four more.

2030: They're bringing a stretcher on here, and Rahim's got a bandage held to his left eye. Looks like Siddique will take over the gloves. Stretchered off, Rahim. Nasty.

26th over: Eng 143-2 (Target: 251)
Huge turn from Faisal, and that's spun a mile past Colly's outside edge, straight into the keeper's face. Ouch. Physio races on, and Mushfiqur Rahim's in trouble here.

25th over: Eng 140-2 (Target: 251)
Belly working up quite a sheen of sweat with all these singles, but the England pair are ticking along quite comfortably - singles all over the place, just four men inside the circle.

24th over: Eng 134-2 (Target: 251)
Faisal of the spicy shades - tossed up, turned away by Colly for one. Clumped off the back foot by Bell to deep square leg for another; driven straight by Colly for one on top.

23rd over: Eng 129-2 (Target: 251)
Shafiul returns - stunted drive off the back peg for three from Colly, two taken off a mis-field. Glimpse there of Geoff Miller, chairman of selectors, looking a touch grumpy on a balcony.

22nd over: Eng 121-2 (Target: 251)
Bell advances again to Shakib - spotted coming, kept down to defensive pushes. Finally a single steered away; Colly drives for one more. Ooh, massive turn, Bell beaten and out of his crease, but the stumper is done all ends up by the bounce - four byes, and that was a big chance.

21st over: Eng 115-2 (Target: 251)
Lovely shot from Bell, skipping down the track to Mortaza and check-driving back down the ground for a silky four. Huge shout moments later as the ball shoots through horribly low - pad just outside off. One more turned away to deep square leg.

20th over: Eng 110-2 (Target: 251)
The required run-rate? Hovering around 4.6 an over. Two off Shakib's twirl, but there's no reason to panic and no sign of it.

19th over: Eng 108-2 (Target: 251)
Mortaza back into the attack after the drinks break - just a brace of singles. England almost exactly on target.

18th over: Eng 104-2 (Target: 251)
Crazy running from Belly, calling Colly through when the ball went straight to short fine leg - if that had hit, he was a goner. All sorts from Hossain in this over - flight, flat and draggy, speared in. Sporting a natty pair of yellow and black shades, Faisal, with almost-matching yellow-ish sun-cream on the lips.

17th over: Eng 101-2 (Target: 251)
Just one off Shakib's tweakish over, and England are digging in.

16th over: Eng 99-2 (Target: 251)
Colly to the crease, and he'll love this situation - a dab here, a dab there, and he's on his way.

15th over: WICKET Kieswetter c Hossain b Shakib 32, Eng 92-2 (Target: 251)
Slapping sweep - top edge - out to the fence - snagged!

14th over: Eng 92-1 (Target: 251)
Huzzah! Kies down onto one knee, mighty mow way over the long-off ropes for a huge six. He has another go and gets nowhere near the pitch, outside-edging just over point for a streaky three. Bell with a strange lofted drive for one; Kies with two more, driven off the back foot.

13th over: Eng 80-1 (Target: 251)
Ian Bell the new man, and Kies nearly does for him first up with a crazy call - turned down as he advances down the track and only just turns to get home. Bell dabs late as he uses his feet to the spinner, picking up two run away fine.

From Steve, Sheffield, TMS inbox: "I'd say Kieswetter is a batsman/wicketkeeper or more accurately 'batswiper'"

12th over: WICKET Strauss run out 50, Eng 75-1 (Target: 251)
Step away dab from Strauss - they'll come back for three here, and that's his 50 - just 37 deliveries and seven fours in the knock, super innings. No no - he's gone the very next ball, calling Kies through for what looks like an easy single but failing to push hard or dive and coming up short by half an inch.

11th over: Eng 72-0 (Target: 251)
Mahmu now, and that's a leg-side drifter wide. Singles check-driven down the ground; Strauss to 47, Kies to 19. Anchor switched.

From Bruce, TMS inbox: "Given the limited crowd appeal of three one-dayers v Bangladesh, can I suggest England invite Afghanistan for a match or two? Watched the mighty Afghans sweetly defeat the Netherlands last night in ICC League One at the world's newest ODI ground here in The Hague to set up an intriguing quasi-semi-final versus Scotland on Friday for the chance to meet Ireland in the final. In case anyone thought their appearance in the ICC World T20 was a token effort the Afghan side are no duffers!"

10th over: Eng 66-0 (Target: 251)
Yup, nearly did for Skip there - he steps back for a cut and misses by a coat of varnish, hanging his head in shame. Down the track to the next one - clunky off the toe, but there's enough muscle on it to send it over mid-on for four more.

9th over: Eng 61-0 (Target: 251)
Shakib now from the other end, and Strauss... ah, silky-smooth driving through the covers. Shot de jour. If it wasn't so certain to induce the mockers, I'd say Strauss looks in lovely touch. But it might so I won't.

8th over: Eng 54-0 (Target: 251)
Time for some tweak from Razzak - two singles, two wides down leg.

From Clive McCartney, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, TMS inbox: "In reference to the 3rd Over - I prefer batter/keeper as either keetter (which sounds like a South African swear word) or beeper (which is an actual BBC swear word)."

7th over: Eng 50-0 (Target: 251)
Bottom-handed flicker off the pads from Skipper Strauss for one - he'll call Kies through for another, tight but home as the fling flies past. Two more dabbed behind square, and this is too easy for England - runs every which way. Four more, flicked up and away to midwicket, and the 50 is up.

6th over: Eng 41-0 (Target: 251)
Righty-ho, says Strauss - I'll have a slice of that too. Crash - four cut away; bang - four more, pulled over midwicket as Shafiul goes round the wicket. Two more, flicked fine off the pads - wallop! Four more, stepping away to leg, thumping a lovely lusty drive way over cover. Cheeky single to polish things off - 15 from the over.

5th over: Eng 26-0 (Target: 251)
Lordy - Kies in bother here, first dragging one past his timbers again, this time off the bottom of the thigh pad, and then getting trapped in no-man's land - big appeal, just going over. That's more like it - slower one looping on to leg, flicked high and mighty for four to wide long-on. And again!

4th over: Eng 16-0 (Target: 251)
Shafiul now - mmm, lovely late drive from Kieswetter, bouncing the ball over Kayes at point for a confidence-booster of a four. Screaming appeal from the stumper up next, but Kies was a long way from thinning that. Angled backwards of square for one more; wide called down leg. Steady start.

3rd over: Eng 10-0 (Target: 251)
Straight back from Kies as Mortaza keeps him honest, and then he nearly plays on as he jabs down late on another tempter just outside off. Bowled three times in the series v Aussie, the opener/stumper (stopener? opumper?) and he's got to be careful here.

2nd over: Eng 9-0 (Target: 251)
Kieswetter needs some runs you know, because Matt Prior and Steve Davies are breathing down his neck. No swing from Shafiul here, and Kieswetter gets off the mark with a quick single to mid-off's left. Broad nibbles on a Cornetto on the England balcony as Strauss tucks a couple of runs off his hip, and he does it again off the last ball.

1st over: Eng 4-0 (Target: 251)
Decent, probing first over from the skipper Mortaza, until the last ball that is, which is a bit short, a bit wide, and cut away with little fuss for four by Strauss.

50th over: WICKET Abdur Razzak b Bresnan 3, Ban 250-9
Brezza with the final set of six - singles off the first three. And the fourth - good slower ball. Must be a run-out next ball - Bres with ball in hand, underarming from three feet away - ooh la la, somehow he's missed! Final ball coming up... bowled him!

49th over: WICKET Mortaza c Bell b Anderson 5, Ban 243-8
Tailing off somewhat, this innings. Skipper Strauss looks more than happy with his team's effort. Full from Jimmy, driven for one by Faisal Hossain. Oh, lovely smear straight down the ground by Mortaza for a much-needed four - but he's gone the next ball, crashing a towering blow high down to Belly standing just inside the deep midwicket rope.

48th over: WICKET Raqibul run out 76, Ban 236-7
Broad to bowl his penultimate over, the powerplay having finally been taken. Runner out there for Raqibul after that foot woe - oh, calamitous running from the three of them, the classic runner-induced dismissal.

47th over: WICKET Mahmudullah lbw Anderson 4, Ban 234-6
Strange, clubbing upper-cut from Raqi off Jimmy - four, high over cover. Ow-wow-wow - vicious late in-dipper from Jim, catching the batsman flush on the front foot. Metatarsal-breaker, that one. Mahmu's gone now, however - another horrible late in-dipper.

46th over: Ban 226-5
Mahmudullah the new man - helped round the corner as Broad overstrains, and that's a fine slide-diving save from Brezza down at long leg. Single slightly wider of the same slot. England will be happy with this, you'd have to say.

From Steve Lowther, Manchester, TMS inbox: "Interesting that Stuart Cullen, the heifer authority from the 23rd over, makes a most pertinent anagram of 'Nu Cattle Slur'."

45th over: WICKET Mushfiqur c Wright b Bresnan 22, Ban 222-5
Splendid catch off that six by an old boy in the crowd - saw it all the way, took it baseball-style with reversed hands and milked the applause from the surrounding punters. Slower ball from Bresnan, and Mushie is foxed completely by that. Slower up next - lofted straight down Wright's throat as he jogs in from long-on.

44th over: Ban 219-4
Anderson gliding in as if on rollers - a leap to the crease, extended follow-through - mighty mow from Mushfiqur, way, way over midwicket for a monstrous maximum. Cheeky late dab fine for two more. And another! Huge, battering pick-up, six more. What was I saying about the run-rate? 1-59 from Jimmy's eight. Ouch.

43rd over: Ban 202-4
Ugly swipe from Raqibul, completely missing with a head-high waft and picking up a bye as Kieswetter struggles to gather. Two glanced fine, and then another wide as Bres strays short and leggish. Crisp drive back down the ground for one more, and limited cheers for the 200 coming up. Run-rate of just 4.2 an over in the last five. Hmmm.

42nd over: Ban 194-4
Broad called for a bouncer wide by Umpo Rauf, who's enjoying a stentorian day today. Whooah - what was that? Half-pull, half-duck, the ball flying high down to deep square leg for a one-bounce four that somehow evades both covering fielders.

41st over: Ban 189-4
Beefcake Bresnan returns, hunting a scalp after the rather dispiriting figures of 1-230-something in the series v the Aussies. I'm told those were the worst ever aggregate figures in a two-team one-day series. Two runs shipped. Apologies to those cycling fans intending to ignore all mention of Le Tour until the highlights at 1900. I'm not convinced you could have done it, but they're still worth watching. Honestly.

From Charles Kane, TMS inbox: "Re: Stuart Cullen in Canada (23rd over). Technically cattle are heifers until their second calf so you can milk heifers."

40th over: WICKET Shakib c Anderson b Broad 20, Ban 186-4
A return for Stuart Broad? Yup - and that's nice shape, bending one in late to flailing Raqibul. He'll tuck that off his hip to move to 61, and Shakib - ugly slash, decent two-handed snag by Jimmy, falling to his right at extra cover.

39th over: Ban 184-3
Strange shot from Shakib, crouching to attempt a slash across the line and getting lucky as Umpo Rauf turns down a possible ell bee. Powerplay to come still, although no sign of it being taken. Four singles.

38th over: Ban 180-3
Yardy doing a good job out there - 1-14 off his five overs so far - but Bangla are letting this drift. The bowling is there to attack, but they're as passive as sleeping sloths at the mo.

37th over: Ban 177-3
Colly, tight to the stumps - angled away to backward point from Shakib. And again. Ooof - was there a thick edge there? Kieswetter standing up, and he spilt it - yup, edge, but sufficiently thick to leave the 'keeper a get-out clause.

From Jamieson, Leeds, TMS inbox: "I have my own psychic octopus called Colin, he ate a mussel from the England jar this morning."

36th over: Ban 177-3
Seems like we gave Bangladesh back a wicket there - no idea how, but if you manually refresh, all will be sweetness and light again. Yardy, with something of the Billy Bob Thornton's about him facially, keeps 'em down to three singles. Thoughts on what the final total will be here - 270?

35th over: Ban 174-3
Following drinks and a mandatory ball change, we're back with Collingwood and Raqibul drives down the ground very well indeed for another Bangladesh boundary. Cracking batting wicket this, and it was about this stage that the Aussies really started smashing England about at Lord's. They won't want to chase anything over 280 but they might have to.

34th over: Ban 166-3
Nice little edge past vacant first slip for four from Raqibul. Jimmy tightens up his line for the remainder of the over and a top-edge from Shakib lands just short of point.

33rd over: Ban 159-3
Kieswetter standing up to Colly, very much in dibbly-dobbly mood - Shakib fends off with exaggerated care, before launching a sky-scraping lofter back down the ground for a two-bounce four.

From Andy Dutton via Twitter: "While we're on looky-likies, put a bob wig on Strauss and you've got yourself Cassandra from Only Fools and Horses."

32nd over: Ban 154-3
A return for Anderson, on a warning from Umpire Rauf for running through onto the pitch - he'll go over the wicket regardless, the weather increasingly overcast and muggy. Oh, super shot from Shakib, thumping a booming drive past the motionless cover for the best boundary of the day. Tom (below) - the fact that you think that my face might be confused with Dirsy's upsets me more than you can ever know.

From Tom in Manchester, TMS inbox: "Tom, just wondering - do you and Dirs have to appear in a set position, like with any show with Ant and Dec where Ant's always on the left and Dec's on the right when they stand next to each other. Enquiring minds just have to know."

31st over: Ban 147-3
Crunch - cracked back down the ground by Raqibul, and that's a fine sliding save by Yardy on the long-on fence. England happy to twirl away with Colly and Yards, and Bangla in danger of letting this drift.

30th over: Ban 142-3
Three singles again as Yardy gently turns the vice. Over in France, Mark Cavendish has just won today's stage of the Le Tour and is blubbing like a teenage girl watching My Girl.

29th over: Ban 139-3
Shakib the new batsman, watching on from the other end as Colly trots in - looks like he's had the blond highlights touched up a fraction, the burnished copper all-rounder. Always the perfectionist, always with an eye for detail. Three singles.

28th over: WICKET Siddique lbw Yardy 50, Ban 136-3
That's his lot though - full and tempting from Yarders, played all around by the leftie opener.

27th over: Ban 134-2
Bloke there dressed as a nun, sitting next to a Sylvester and Tweetie-Pie. Novice? Not by the look of the number of pints he's just brought back from his mates. Check-drive from Siddique into the covers, and that's his 50 - warm applause around the third-full Trent Bridge.

From John in Wolves, TMS inbox: "I think you're being a bit harsh on Luke Wright there with the old Styris lookalike. I was always think Luke looks like a young Rod Stewart. Whereas Styris resembles Danny DeVito as the Penguin in Batman Returns."

26th over: Ban 131-2
Another change of bowling - Sussex skipper Michael Yardy for a twirl, firing them in from out wide - cut away for two by Raqi, whipped into the midwicket area for another and Sidders dabbing to point to move to within a run of his half-century.

25th over: Ban 127-2
Steady-eddie from the Colly wobblers, seaming them down at around the 70mph mark and conceding just the two singles. Sun sinks behind a fluffer of a cloud.

24th over: Ban 125-2
Wright again - manually refresh to get Colly in his rightful place in the previous over - and Raqibul will dab one late down fine to four. Looked like an edge to some, but I think he meant that. Short up next next - slapped through gully for another lusty boundary. Stuart (below) - Friesians? Herefords?

From Stuart Cullen in Canada, TMS inbox: "Realize that the closest you come to bovine is the slog sweep over cow corner, or Dirsy's latest conquests in Essex nightclubs, but you can't actually milk heifers…and generally you don't get old ones!"

23rd over: Ban 116-2
Tidy from new bowler Colly, but Bangla will be happy with this - they've got a good base to build on, and England have lacked a Taitesque cutting edge so far.

22nd over: Ban 114-2
Decent stuff this from Bangladesh, and two more leg byes will leak away of the pads. More singles dabbed away off the perspiring Wright - wallop, short and sitting up, crashed away with a muscular pull by Sidds to move to 45 off 56 balls.

21st over: Ban 104-2
Tredwell milked for five successive singles like a hoary old heifer. Dom in Notts (see below) - BBC rules prevent any discussion, of course. Buts Dirsy's pleased with it.

From Dom in Notts, TMS inbox: "What's this about a new book then Forders? Any good is it?"

20th over: Ban 99-2
Luke Wright on for his first rumble of the day, looking like the younger cousin of Scotty Styris. Single angled away by Sidders past the diving Collingwood at backward point before Raqi is beaten by an away-nibbler.

19th over: Ban 96-2
Tredders twirls - touch leggish, that, and Raqibul will slap-sweep for four. Mis-field from Morgan at cover, and they'll pick up two more. Sleepy scenes in Nottingham this arvo.

18th over: Ban 87-2
Jimmy now, over the wicket, and Asaf Rauf doesn't like this - I think he's going to warn Anderson for following through onto the pitch. Rauf in a very modish pair of white-rimmed shades, the sort of thing Calvin Harris might sport in the dance tent at Glasto. Anderson switches to round the wicket - crash, four battered through cover by Siddique, and Jim's in a bit of a grump here. We'll have further delays too as the black sheet of a sight-screen appears to be partly furled - a harassed-looking steward attempts to sever a cord with his keys and fails dismally.

17th over: Ban 80-2
Hello - we'll have some James Tredwell. If you've not seen Tredders before, with his balding pate and monk's tonsure, he looks more like a man of cloth than international sportsman. Appearances can be deceptive. Darty right-arm twirl, singles strolled, and we'll have drinks.

From Christian Norman, TMS inbox: "I believe that I have become too pumped for this game and have sprung a leak as I appear to be emitting a strange high pitched squeak, or I've suddenly developed tinnitus."

16th over: Ban 76-2
Sidders decides to have a joust - off-cutter from Jimmy, drawing the panicked mis-hit just past gully for two. Ooof - he's nearly castled next up, a vicious in-dipper from Anderson that he just digs out.

15th over: Ban 72-2
Watery sun overhead at Trent Bridge as Broad races in, over the wicket to the left-handed Siddique - short, too short, ducked under and left well alone. A touch fuller, and the batsman does well to swivel and pull away for two.

14th over: Ban 70-2
Raqibul Hasan the new man, and he leaves a searing tempter outside off alone with high-armed relish. Nice bowling change.

14th over: WICKET Kayes c Morgan b Anderson 14, Ban 70-2
Change of bowling - full from the returning Jimmy, feet anchored by Kayes - hmmm, slapped straight down cover's throat.

13th over: Ban 69-1
Short again from Broad, pulled away to bisect the two men out in the deep for four more by Siddique. Ah, super fielding by Bell at short leg to stop and then fling back at the timbers - just missing - and then Sidds looks a little put out as what looks like another four flicked fine is called as a no-shot. Tight.

From Jack, undecided in Basingstoke, TMS inbox: "Tom, the world of sport hasn't managed this well at all. I'm not one to moan about live text coverage on any sport but how is a man meant to choose between the cricket and the Tour de France?! It's a good thing the World Cup is at its latter stages otherwise I would have really struggled!"

12th over: Ban 64-1
Bresnan into his sixth over, and Umpire Asad Rauf doesn't like that one - high bouncer, called as a wide, before a wider one is angled down to third man for another. Anyone have fancied a spot of Shahzad instead of Bres for this one?

11th over: Ban 60-1
The first powerplay comes to an end, and Siddique celebrates with a wristy drive off an over-pitched delivery for the first four since the third over. Short and nasty from Broad, and there's thick edge on that - off the shoulder of the bat, high over Kieswetter for four more. Slip comes out, and guess what? Thick edge of the very next ball, straight through the vacant slot for four more. Sloppiness.

10th over: Ban 47-1
A Bangladeshi fan in the crowd waves a toy tiger aloft in enthusiastic celebration as Brezza continues - cunning slower one, and they'll all go up for this - nope, pitching comfortably outside leg. Singles tipped and tapped, and England looking much happier.

From James in Woolwich, TMS inbox: "What was I saying before? Sorry Tam, put the mockers on you there, son. All out for less than 200 now then."

9th over: Ban 43-1
Bell in under the lid at short leg, Siddique blinking back down the track at Broad - ooof, snorter past the nose, and he's very close to thinning that through behind. Maiden, the first of the day, and Broad has 1-8 from his three overs so far.

8th over: Ban 43-1
Bresnan, his broad shoulders emphasised by the three stripes running down the sleeves of his shirt - ach, another wide down leg, but the remainder are tidy like Kim and Aggie. England putting the brakes on after that squealing accelerating start.

From Jamie Cutteridge via Twitter: "If I was any more pumped for this game I would be a hazard to those around me."

7th over: Ban 40-1
Broad enjoyed that, slapping palms with Craig Kieswetter as he sprints up from behind the timbers. Junaid Siddique the new man, greeted with a nasty bouncer, but he's off the mark with a dab to leg.

7th over: WICKET Tamim lbw Broad 28, Ban 40-1
Tamim trapped on the crease, the ball nipping back a fraction - looked to be missing off to me, but Umpire Nigel Llong sticks his digit up...

6th over: Ban 40-0
Brezza again, and Kayes is content to dab away a single after another stinker of a wide. Muted right now, you'd have to say.

5th over: Ban 37-0
We'll have a change of bowling here - Stuart Broad in for Jimmy, and playing despite the death of his stepmother. Pats on the back for the blond-haired seamer. Tamim check-drives to leg for a pair, nibbles a brace of singles and leans back on his bat with a faint grin.

4th over: Ban 31-0
If you're wondering when this text commentary will go 3D, the boffins are working on it. Sadly, however, the highly-anticipated new Scratch 'n' Sniff text comm has been shelved after test users complained the smell of Eau de Dirs was causing their household pets distress. Better from Bresnan, tightening up and conceding just a single and two.

3rd over: Ban 28-0
Kayes drives Jimmy for two through cover before tucking into a juicy leg-stump half-volley to ping away four more. Much excitement in the Sky TV studio, where they're debuting their new 3D television coverage. Excellent showcase they've chosen too.

From James in Woolwich, TMS inbox: "Afternoon Tom, I am indeed 'pumped' and looking forward to another special Tamim innings and then a glorious run chase without the disappointment of seeing KP cream two or three classic drives and then get out for about 12. Pump up the Tam!"

2nd over: Ban 22-0
Bresnan now, Tamim waiting - short and wide, crashed off the back peg for four more. Bresnan, well-timbered, in again - wooof, dreadful load of old stink, slow and wide of leg - dinked away for four more. Wide, single, and this isn't quite what the sparse crowd expected.

1st over: Ban 11-0
So then - here we go, the strains of Jerusalem dying out in this half-empty stadium, the very definition of vainglorious. James Anderson to Tamim, and that's a start - four clipped through midwicket, four more slashed behind square off the front foot. Spicy.

1418: And England's? AJ Strauss, C Kieswetter, IR Bell, PD Collingwood, EJG Morgan, MH Yardy, LJ Wright, TT Bresnan, JC Tredwell, SCJ Broad, JM Anderson.

1416: Bangla team in full, you say? Bien sur, bien sur. Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Junaid Siddique, Raqibul Hasan, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah, Faisal Hossain, Mashrafe Mortaza, Abdur Razzak, Shafiul Islam.

From George, TMS inbox: "Well huzzah for some cricket. Bizarre weather today. It is raining whilst being more humid than Bangladesh in Winchester, Hants today."

1410: Looks a decent batting track at Trent Bridge, with some pleasant sunshine in the Nottingham air. James Tredwell too in for England, with Graeme Swann taking a breather. Good tester.

1405: Team news from England - as expected, Ian Bell comes in for KP, with Jonathan Trott not getting the nod.

1400: How are we all? Pumped, I imagine. Bangladesh have won the toss and chosen to bat.
