  3. 'Ravindra's doing Rachin things'published at 16:54 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February

    New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner: "It's nice. Today, we knew Bangladesh were a tough challenge on this wicket. The way we pulled it back in the middle with the ball was pleasing. Bracewell was outstanding."

    On Michael Bracewell: "He's a quality bowler now. The way he's been able to change his pace. The key in this tournament has been to take wickets in the middle and we did that."

    On Rachin Ravindra's return: "He's doing Rachin things I guess. He loves ICC events. He looks like he's never been away. When he's going, he's tough to stop. His partnership with Tom [Latham] was great."

    On facing India in Dubai: "It's a slower pitch to here. It's smashing off a good length, it's changing off the spinners, so we will see what happens."

  4. 'The way we batted is really disappointing'published at 16:52 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February

    Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto: "I think we started well [but] in the middle we lost many wickets.

    "On a wicket like this, we didn't bat properly that's one thing we didn't do well today.

    "It is a good wicket to bat. We needed two big partnerships. The way we batted is really disappointing."

    On Nahid Rana: "He is brilliant. The way he bowled, I am really happy."

    On facing Pakistan on Thursday: "It's an important game and if we finish on a high note it will give us a lot of confidence."

    New Zealand's Michael Bracewell, who took four wickets, hit the winning runs and has been named player of the match: "It's awesome to contribute to a win. The main focus was coming here and getting a win and securing a spot in the next round and we did that."

    On the conditions: "It did remind of home a little bit. It was very different once the ball landed on the wicket."

    On the balance of the side: "That's the benefit of our side. We're pretty well-balanced. We're just well covered in all areas. I'm ready to bowl 10 overs every game."

    On hitting the winning runs: "I was hoping not to put the pads on, but I was happy to be there and help us get over the line."

    I like this New Zealand outfit. I think they're building a nice squad - going under the radar.

    They have that nice blend of youth and experience. New Zealand were outstanding up front and they squeezed Bangladesh.

    With 237 I never thought it was enough. When Rachin Ravindra got in there he looked class.

    Ravindra has got a massive future.

  10. New Zealand win by five wicketspublished at 46.1 overs

    Michael Bracewell, who took four wickets in the first innings, deservedly hits the winning runs!

    He seals the deal with a four and New Zealand are through to the semi-finals.

    That made a noise off the bat. That was hit with a bit of feeling from Glenn Phillips. Well dispatched.

    One to win!

  12. NZ 236-5published at 46 overs

    1 run needed from 24 balls

    Glenn Phillips closes out a bizarre over with a four. The scores are level!

  13. New Zealand reviewpublished at 45.5 overs

    Glenn Phillips wants a no ball. Every run counts in a chase, after all.

    It's 4cm below his waist. Carry on.

  14. NZ 232-5published at 45.4 overs

    Bangladesh want a wicket. They think the ball has come off Glenn Phillips' bat, onto his boot and popped up into the hands of the fielder.

    No dice, says the umpire.

    The replays confirm it was a bump ball.

  15. NZ 231-5published at 45 overs

    6 runs needed from 30 balls

    Rishad Hossain delays New Zealand's celebrations, conceding just three runs from his ninth over.

  16. NZ 228-5published at 44 overs

    9 runs needed off 36 balls

    You're right, Sheila. Bangladesh have had some bright moments today and did well to avoid a capitulation with the bat, particularly after being reduced to 35-5 by India earlier in the tournament.

    But they've never really seized the moment and taken the game to New Zealand.

    Glenn Phillips finishes the 44th over with a four. New Zealand are nearly home.

    Can we have some credit for Bangladesh? They've faced a very good batting lineup but have hung in there- still trying!

    I think Rishad Hossain has got to play a bit of roulette to tempt Glenn Phillips into that shot.

    Rishad got the length wrong and Philips was good enough to drill him down the ground.

  19. 6 runs

    NZ 223-5published at 43 overs

    14 runs needed from 42 balls

    I was just starting to write about how New Zealand's innings had become a bit pedestrian... and then Glenn Phillips drills Rishad Hossain down the ground for six.

    New Zealand finish the over with a pair of singles.

  20. Ahmed replaces Carse in England's Champions Trophy squadpublished at 16:17 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February

    England bowler Brydon Carse has been ruled out of the rest of the Champions Trophy and will be replaced in the squad by leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed.

    Carse, 29, has been struggling with a blister on a toe on his left foot and the issue reoccurred in Saturday's defeat by Australia.

    He had trouble with the injury and returned figures of 1-69 from seven overs.

    Ahmed is expected to arrive in Pakistan on Wednesday, the day of England's next match against Afghanistan, meaning that Jamie Overton would be the most like-for-like replacement for Carse.

    Gus Atkinson and Saqib Mahmood are the other seam options in the squad while Ahmed, 20, gives England a second frontline spin option, in addition to Adil Rashid, for Saturday's match against South Africa.
