Al Fahad to Joe Moores
PUT DOWN! That should have taken when you are defending a low total! Back of a length, just outside off, Moores mistimes his cut to the point fielder, but he fails to grab this one.

Al Fahad to Joe Moores
OUT! TAKEN! No mistake in catching this time and Al Fahad draws the first blood. Another bumper, just outside off, shaping a bit away. Moores gets on his toes and upper cuts it this time, but doesn't quite get the timing right on that shot. The ball flies to the deep third region. Shadin Islam runs toward his right, leans forward and grabs the catch. England lose their first wicket with just 3 on the board.

FOUR! STREAKY! Slower this time, short and on middle and leg. Mayes gets on his back foot to pull it away, but gets the top edge. The ball loops over the reach of the keeper and races away toward deep fine leg for four runs.

Who will share the new ball? Samiun Basir Ratul it is!

Ben Mayes is the first man down.

Slight halt in the play! Mayers is having some problems with the thread hanging out from the grip of the bat. The substitute fielder comes onto the field with tape and the problem has been solved. All set to continue.

Skipper, Thomas Rew, walks in as number four. Also, Shahriar Ahmed joins the attack for Bangladesh.

End of the Powerplay 1! Bangladesh Under-19 can now have 4 fielders outside the 30-yard circle until the end of the 40th over. England will be the happier of the two sides. Yes, they have lost two wickets, but the batters have the luxury to take their time and chase the total down. They need 96 more runs in 40 overs.
0
DRINKS! Despite losing a couple of quick wickets, the attacking intent with which the English skipper, Thomas Rew, has walked out has poked the balloon of hope that the Bangladesh Under-19 side were trying to inflate. The way Rew has walked out and stamped his authority shows that he is in a hurry to wrap this game up.

Caleb Falconer comes out next.

England Under-19 secures a dominating seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh Under-19s, courtesy of their stellar bowling display and measured run chase here in Bulawayo. The action from the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup 2026, Super 6 stage, is far from over. Join us again tomorrow, 27th January 2026, for more exciting clashes, with the day's play scheduled to begin at 7.30 am GMT. You can join us an hour early for the pre-match buildup and updates. Cheers.
