Champions Trophy, Group A, Rawalpindi
New Zealand win puts them and India into semi-finals
Bangladesh must win to stay in contention

The problem is also the field.
Bangladesh have been conservative at times. The bowlers are trying their best, but you have to create wickets by the field.
They've been happy to set conventional fields and it has been easy for Tom Latham.
The Shanto bowling experiment is cancelled after one over. Back to Mustafizur Rahman.
Target 237
Another six ticked off the target by New Zealand.
For all the boundaries we've seen from the bat of Rachin Ravindra, what New Zealand have done particularly well is keep the scoreboard ticking over.

You have got to try break this partnership.
You have got to throw New Zealand a bone in order to break this partnership.
For me, this game in 40 overs is over.
Target 237
That experiment from Bangladesh didn't quite go to plan, did it?
12 runs off Najmul Hossain Shanto's opening over, including back-to-back boundaries for Rachin Ravindra who is now striking above a run-a-ball.
Take that! Najmul Hossain Shanto only bowls once every Preston Guild and from that delivery, you can see why.
Rachin Ravindra sees the short ball coming and smashes it over mid-wicket for six.
Wait... a change of heart from Bangladesh.
It's going to be the skipper himself, Najmul Hossain Shanto.
Target 237
More runs!
I make that 17 in two overs since I replaced Jonty (not that we're competing).
Here comes Mahmudullah to try and make the breakthrough for Bangladesh.

Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Poor cricket all-round.
The delivery wasn't special, the shot was horrible and the keeping was probably even worst.
Target 237
Rachin Ravindra cuts loose off the first delivery of the over and punishes a full delivery from Mehidy Hasan Miraz for four.
Four byes off the final ball add to a productive over for New Zealand.
The required rate is back below five.
The worms are so close at the halfway mark.

It's advantage New Zealand with the required run rate just above five an over.
But a wicket would make this interesting. Can Bangladesh manufacture a breakthrough?
Target 237
A solid start for Rishad Hossain, who brings up the 25 over mark with an over of three singles and almost forcing Rachin Ravindra to chop onto his own stumps.
The halfway stage also marks a change in our commentary.
I shall hand you back to Elizabeth Botcherby.
Target 237
Three singles come from the over in total for New Zealand.
At halfway, barring a high-scoring over next up, they will be slightly behind the halfway total of their 237 chase, but with safety in knowing they are still comfortable.
Rishad Hossain is coming into the attack for a first taste of some leg spin.

A day to forget with the bat from a Bangladesh point of view.
They played Michel Bracewell really poorly and that's something they'll have to look back at.
Batters go through these panic stages through an innings and it is so unnecessary.
Target 237
A nervy shot from Rachin Ravindra.
He stepped forward and went for a big slog sweep off Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
He didn't get all of it and slipped while playing it, but the shot lands safe.
A touch unnecessary.
Target 237
Taskin Ahmed's latest over brings just two singles, with Tom Latham not forcing anything or taking risks.
Given New Zealand's comfortable position so far, they have no need to either.
Target 237
Bangladesh have not conceded too many boundaries in recent overs, but New Zealand are keeping the scoreboard ticking over well.
Another over without a four or six, but four singles are scored and New Zealand are into three figures.
Target 237
Five runs come from that over on the whole.
New Zealand remain in control without having to worry too much, despite losing two early wickets.

Image source, Getty ImagesFrom here, it's just doing a professional job with the bat. You don't want Tom Latham to get settled.
Rachin Ravindra is a class player. He burst onto the scene. He has a lovely calm to his game and he doesn't look flustered.
He goes about his work quietly, but when he needs to step on the gas he can.
