    That's it from me for coverage of India's win over Bangladesh, but there's more from the World Cup in a few hours when Australia play Afghanistan.

    We'll have live text and radio coverage from 01:00 BST, and if Australia win then both the Aussies and India will qualify for the semi-finals. If Afghanistan win, then all four teams in the pool still have a shout at the last four.

    I'll leave with Ffion Wynne's report as India thrash Bangladesh in Antigua.

    Thanks for looking in.

    India captain Rohit Sharma: "We have been talking about it for a long time now [being more aggressive], it's just been about going out there and having the confidence to put it together. We know exactly what is expected of us and how we need to play.

    "I thought we played really well today, adapted to the conditions. There is the breeze here that you need to take into consideration, so you have got to be smart about that. Overall, we were clever with the bat and we used the conditions really well with the ball.

    "All batters need to play their role in the team, whatever that is. Only one player got fifty but we got to 196. In T20, you don't need that many 50s or 100s, you can put pressure on the opposition in other ways. And all our batters tried to do that from the start.

    "That's how we want to play going forward, of course while respecting the conditions too. We have a lot of experience in our squad and I back the players to make those decisions.

    "With Hardik in form, that puts us in very good stead going forward. He had a good platform and today he showed what he can do when he has that. He's a crucial player for us."

    Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto: "We were thinking that 160-170 as being good for us, but the way they batted, the credit goes to them.

    "I think we have a lot of batting options but we didn’t show as much as we needed, and chasing 190+ we should have got more in the first six overs.

    "The last couple of years all the fast bowlers have done a great job, and also with Rishad Hossain we have a good leg spinner now."

    Player of the match, India all-rounder Hardik Pandya: "We are playing good cricket, but more than anything we have stuck together as a team and executed our plans. At different times, someone as stood up with a performance.

    "There was a strong breeze out there so I wanted to make the most of that when I was batting and then not let them use it when I was bowling, so putting it out a bit wider and not allowing them to hit that side. It was about being one step ahead of the batter.

    "As a group, we can definitely still improve. We have lost wickets in bunches a few times and that is something that we would like to rectify. Otherwise, everyone's looking good and working hard and the mindset is good. We are excited for what is to come.

    "I'm just going to keep my head down, keep working hard and the rest will take care of itself."

  8. India win by 50 runspublished at 18:52 British Summer Time 22 June

    Never in doubt, really, was it?

    Hardik Pandya is named man of the match, we'll hear from him soon but that's a decent day at the office - 50 not out off 27 deliveries, and 1-32 with the ball.

    It will definitely be an option for India to rotate against Australia but they'll be trying to build as much momentum and confidence as possible with this group of players.

    Mahmadullah c Axar b Arshdeep 13 (Ban 145-8)

    What a catch!

    Mahmadullah hooks over square leg, and Axar Patel races in to cling onto a superb grab, stooping to take it at shin level.

  12. Ban 142-7published at 19 overs

    Mahedi Hasan drops the wrists and delicately edges Bumrah's last delivery to the rope at third, but that's the end of a fine spell - 2-13.

    Jasprit Bumrah is a very special cricketer.

    Rishad c Rohit b Bumrah 24 (Ban 138-7)

    It was never going to last, was it?

    Jasprit Bumrah is not a bowler you can slap around easily, and an ugly shot lifts into the offside and plops into Rohit's hands to end the fun.

    Where was this lad earlier? He skips down the track again and lifts Axar just to the right of the sightscreen.

    He's on 24 off just 8 deliveries!

    I'm glad to see Rishad Hossain demonstrating his ability with the bat. He's impressed with the ball in this tournament and now he's showing he can be an all-rounder.

    Rishad Hossain is in the mood - shame it's a bit late. He takes step down the track and slams Axar Patel over long off.

    Frustration for Shakib after he'd gone over the ropes.

  19. Ban 122-6published at 17 overs

    Rishad Hossain is the next man in, and he delicately guides Arshdeep to the boundary at third with a lovely shot.

    Even better comes from the last delivery, as he gets onto the back foot and pulls the bowler high over midwicket for a superb six.

    It is a slow puncture you get the sense. The air is just slowly going out of Bangladesh.

    They just haven't taken the shackles off at any stage. It was never going to be easy against this attack.
