So New Zealand are bowling first, and their bowlers have been outstanding so far in this competition. Trent Boult and Tim Southee have both taken 13 wickets, the second highest amount of any bowler, with only Scotland's Josh Davey (14) taking more.

Spinner Daniel Vettori has also claimed 12 scalps.

"Bangladesh know they will be at the MCG - what they don't know yet is their opponents. It'll probably be India - but Bangladesh know if they win this game, they could face somebody else."

So this is how they stand in Pool A. New Zealand will definitely finish top and will play either Pakistan, Ireland or West Indies in Wellington on Saturday, 21 March.

For Bangladesh, a win today will see them avoid India, who have won all five matches so far. But a defeat against New Zealand will set up that match, which would take place in Melbourne on Thursday, 19 March.

Bangladesh stand-in skipper Shakib Al Hasan: "I would have bowled first too. If we get through the first hour, it should be a good track."

New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum: "Bangladesh are a side who have had the wood over us a little, so it'll be a good challenge for us. Adam Milne jarred his knee taking a catch in our last match so Mitchell McClenaghan comes in."

New Zealand had named the same XI for their first five matches, but have been forced into their first change as Adam Milne has been ruled out because of a shoulder injury. In comes left-armer Mitchell McClenaghan.

Bangladesh are without captain Mashrafe Mortaza, so all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan will lead the side. Nasir Hossain and Taijul Islam come in to replace Mortaza and Arafat Sunny.

New Zealand: Martin Guptill, Brendon McCullum (capr), Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, Grant Elliott, Corey Anderson, Luke Ronchi (wk), Daniel Vettori, Tim Southee, Trent Boult, Mitchell McClenaghan.

Bangladesh: Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Soumya Sarkar, Mahmudullah, Shakib Al Hasan (capt), Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Sabbir Rahman, Nasir Hossain, Taijul Islam, Rubel Hossain, Taskin Ahmed.

Umpires are Kumar Dharmasena and Richard Kettleborough, with Nigel Llong on TV replays.

New Zealand have won the toss and will bowl first. They have successfully chased down targets in their last three matches and will look to do so again as they bid for their sixth successive victory at this World Cup.

We will have more England chat later on, but let's now move on to the first game of the day. And it is another chance to have a look at the hugely impressive New Zealand side as they take on Bangladesh.

Former Test opener Mark Butcher told England fans to expect to an "absolute hiding" and a "horrendous six months".

He told BBC Radio 5 live: "When Australia come, just don't watch, hide behind the sofa."

Will today be a day for more hiding and more England humiliation? All will be revealed later on.

Not everyone has been sad at England's plight. Former Australia seam bowler Glenn McGrath has already put the boot in. England were thrashed 5-0 in the last Ashes Down Under in 2013-14 and McGrath expects more of the same when Australia play in England in the summer.

If the Australian team keeps playing as they are, they're going to go to England full of confidence," said the 45-year-old, who took 563 Test wickets.

"I can't see England beating them and I'm more than happy to predict 5-0."

"This is as low as it can be for one-day cricket. We haven't played well for 12 months. They haven't been able to perform individually and some of them have let themselves down.

"Everybody has to have a good look at themselves. The players have not performed and the selectors have to look at the people they have picked. We've played very poorly and seem to be light years behind other teams in the way they are thinking about the one-day game.

"It's not acceptable for English cricket. They public are not stupid, they can see that England have been really poor."

Paul Farbrace says he can understand the criticism England have faced. And in the last few days it has been fierce.

War-torn nation Afghanistan have provided one of the best stories from the Cricket World Cup. Competing at the tournament for the first time, they gave Sri Lanka an almighty scare before recording a historic first World Cup victory with a one-wicket success against Scotland.

And they have got England nervous.

"If losing to Bangladesh was terrible, we couldn't possibly imagine what it will be like if this match goes against us," England assistant coach Paul Farbrace said.

"There's been a lot said about the nervousness and tension we're playing with and it's hard to argue against that.

"We came here wanting to give it a go, saying we wanted to play exciting cricket and we haven't done that. We can have no complaints about the stick we've taken."

No one suggested England were going to win the World Cup, but a couple of wins against India in the International Triangular Series in January raised hopes that Eoin Morgan's side could make an impact in Australia and New Zealand.

But then reality struck. And they have been nowhere near good enough. Not even close.

"To be knocked out of a World Cup this early is unbelievably disappointing," said Morgan after the 15-run defeat by Bangladesh that sealed their fate.

"I'm gutted. There'll be an inquest over the next few weeks as to what happened and what went wrong. Then we'll go from there."

Good morning, hope you are well and thank you for joining us for BBC Sport's live text commentary. We have two games to focus on this morning. We will start with the match at Seddon Park, Hamilton as New Zealand aim for their sixth successive World Cup victory when they face Bangladesh.

Then we will turn our attention to Sydney where already-eliminated England end their World Cup campaign against qualifiers Afghanistan.

Played five. Lost four. Out already.

The 2015 World Cup has been a disaster for England. Thrashed by Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka and embarrassed by Zimbabwe.

Surely it can't get any worse. Well, a defeat in their final game against minnows Afghanistan would take the humiliation to another level. It can't happen. Can it?
