From furrowed brow to roar of delight as Mortaza finds Hales's outside edge. A regulation delivery outside off stump, Hales pushes half-heartedly and Mushfiqur completes the job. Bangladesh back in this.

Hales not hanging around here, spanking Bangladesh captain Mortaza for successive fours on either side of the wicket. The skipper furrows his brow and scratches his chin.

"Bangladesh have got to take their chances and gamble with their bowlers - they can't just wait for something to happen."

England are in control, but they're only in third gear at best.... bobbing along at 30mph in a 40mph zone. There's no chance of them getting flashed for speeding just yet. Five singles, one dot.

Ben Thapa: To Mark Steel: As an Englishman, I wouldn't want to play Ireland in any sport right now.

Picking up on Andrew McDonald's point, Alex Hales's Twenty20 background helps him in the fact he is expected to score quickly from early in his innings. And he's much more than a biffer, most of his runs come through orthodox shots. I still think he'd be a good Test opener if he could tighten his technique when the ball is swinging into him. Three more scored.

David Wignall: Tim Neilsen - I must be a great spinner because that describes all my deliveries!

There's a gentle hum in the stadium as the small crowd becomes engrossed in this tense, tight contest. Remember, if England lose they are out of the World Cup. Five more are chipped from the target.

Who will twist first? It looks good for England, who only need to go at six an over... but just add two wickets to the current score and it looks a little bit more dicey.

"Hales has stepped into his stride well for a player who hasn't played cricket for a few weeks. He's finding his timing and given himself a chance to set a good foundation."

Shakib, who has 185 ODI wickets in 144 matches, returns to the attack and Ian Bell sweeps him for a couple. A single puts Alex Hales on strike and the Notts right-hander gives himself a ticking off when he pushes down the ground for a single of his own but picks out the fielder.

"Bell has hit seven fours and nine singles in this innings, which is quite curious, but at least he is pushing the singles. Singles are the engine room of batting - it is such an important part of the game."

John M Butt: Painful trying to look for a silver lining in this one-day England team. I have got to the point I do not get excited if we win.

Another boundary for Ian Bell. This is going too well. At the same stage, Bangladesh were 71-2 - it's neck and neck.

Philip Pugh: No amount of joined-up tactics can compensate for a team that does not bat and bowl well in one-day games.

Comedian and journalist Mark Steel: "It might help England if we swapped opponents, so we play cricket against Germany and Brazil and football against India and Sri Lanka."

James Tredwell sits yawning on the England team bench, then momentarily pulls his cap over his face. He's not worried about England not getting these runs. As he shouldn't while Ian Bell is middling the ball to all parts of the field which are in the textbook. Nothing flashy, but it's certainly effective. He feels as though only Ian Bell can get Ian Bell out sometimes. Three from the over.

"There are a lot of genuine fast bowlers around in world cricket, which is great to see, but as the tournament goes on spinners will have a little more say in the results of games, and teams with frontline spinners will go deep."

Ah, did Bangladesh bring on Taskin to put Sunny on at the other end? It appears so. We're back to left-arm spin, which is more of the Phil Tufnell variety than Samit Patel. Giving the ball air and inviting spin, he is teasing the batsmen but the moment he offers width he is cut for four by Ian Bell. Nice shot.

"I think Hales will be pleased by this change, with Taskin Ahmed coming on at the far end of the ground - he likes the ball coming on to him as a clean striker of the ball."

There's a real presence about Alex Hales. Tall, broad and standing with his bat upright ready to strike, he gets a thick outside edge for four. Bangladesh have brought teenage seamer Taskin into the attack, which is surprising considering the way England have stalled since pace was taken off the ball. After scoring 43 in seven, the next five have yielded 15.
