    Jay Perry: Australia’s demolition of Bangladesh has been very impressive. It does bring into sharp focus just how good England were when they brushed the Aussies aside.

    Target 74

    Just the 11 from that over.

  3. 6 runs

    Aus 16-0published at 1.5 overs

    Massive!

    Aaron Finch moves his back leg and absolutely clatters Mustafizur into the back of the stands. Ouch.

  4. Aus 8-0published at 1.1 overs

    Four!

    Not timed from Aaron Finch, chasing a wide ball, but he's such a strong man that it goes fizzing away through cover and into the boundary rope.

    Here's Mustafizur.

    Australia will probably knock these off in six or seven overs.

  7. Aus 4-0published at 1 over

    Target 74

    A thick outside edge gets Aaron Finch off the mark, and he benefits from a dreadful bit of backing up to steal an overthrow.

    Finch is still determined to hit everything out of the ground but ends up shovelling it away for a single in rather ungainly fashion.

    I think we can be fairly certain Australia will go hard at this target; they need to sort out their net run-rate. South Africa's is currently much better and it could come down that for a place in the semi-final.

  9. Aus 1-0published at 0.3 overs

    A single brings Aaron Finch on strike, with the Australia captain having a massive hoo-ha at his first two deliveries.

  10. Aus 0-0published at 0.1 overs

    Target 74

    Plonked into the covers by David Warner, and we're off.

    Taskin Ahmed will open the bowling for Bangladesh.

    Here we go...

    After an interminable wait, we're going to have a run chase.

    David Warner and Aaron Finch have come striding out to the middle.

    Bangladesh are very comfortable at home. They produce pitches for the way they play. When the big teams travel over there they do everything to get opposition out of their comfort zone. But that doesn't really set their cricket up to play in these tournaments.

    Adam Zamapa's 5-19, incidentally, are the best figures by an Australian bowler at a Men's T20 World Cup.

    The loss to England was the wake-up call Australia needed. They had a couple days off to reflect. A couple of hard days training. They've got to finish it off now and do it in style.

    I'll be honest, I can't stop thinking about Adam Zampa's hair.

    A brilliant effort from Adam Zampa. To take three wickets in a T20 game is big but to take five is outstanding.

    Australia's Mitchell Starc, who took 2-21: "We set ourselves out to improve on our last fixture. We started really well and then Adam Zampa taking five wickets is outstanding. To get some swing early is something I try and do. Hopefully that continues for the rest of the tournament."

    Cheers, Callum.

    Well. That was dismal, wasn't it?
