“Bright, sunny morning here at Edgbaston. From Birmingham end, 59m boundary square on the leg-side (for a right-hander). Looks very interesting. England bowled a lot of cutter here. There’s a lot of patches; dried patches. There are footmarks just outside the off-stump for a left-hander. The surface will bring spinners into play. We’ll see a lot of cutters. A good toss to win, the team winning it will want to bat. Bangladesh will enjoy playing India in these conditions” - Ganguly and Bishop with the pitch conditions
14:12 hrs ISTDo we need to talk about Dhoni?
MS Dhoni always walks in to bat amid a roar of approval reserved for South American revolutionaries. Maybe the fans in the stands remember the young, swashbuckling Dhoni—him of the golden-mane fame, who eventually trimmed his hair but not his reputation to finish cricket matches on his blade. Or, maybe the fans have accepted who Dhoni the batsman has become over the last few seasons—the pragmatic accumulator of choppy runs; gritty and granular runs akin to the white five-o’clock shadow on his chin.
More on the man here.

13:27 hrs ISTBangladesh predicted XI
Bangladesh, still, have an outside chance of qualifying for the semifinals, when they face off against India, who will be entering the contest after suffering their first defeat in the tournament against the hosts England.

Mashrafe’s side have seven points after three wins and a washout, three points behind fourth-placed England.

Both teams came into the match aware they could not reach the semi-finals but the Caribbean side made a good attempt at what would have been the highest successful chase in World Cup history.
Here is the updated points table.
11:20 hrs ISTWhat people have been saying about Dhoni
Virat Kohli: I think MS was trying really hard to get the boundary but it wasn’t coming off. They bowled in good areas and the ball was stopping, hence it was difficult to bat towards the end.
Sourav Ganguly: I don’t have an explanation for that...I can’t explain these singles. It’s also the length and the bounce that has deceived the Indian batsmen. You can’t be chasing 338 and still have five wickets in the end.
Sanjay Manjrekar: I wish that team management tells Dhoni to maintain a run a ball start and then see how it goes. I love Dhoni best when he has gone in to bat like the warm-up matches. I like when he scores 30 runs from 30 balls. If the team is 12/2, then I can understand his approach of defence. Once he is in around 20-22 overs, then he should look to play run-a-ball
Nasser Hussain: I am completely baffled. What’s going on! This is not what India needed. They need runs. What are they doing? Some Indian fans are leaving now. Surely they must want to see Dhoni go for his shots, even if he slogs it off in the air.

MS Dhoni has come under severe criticism for his approach in India’s last three World Cup matches. The debate got to another level when Dhoni and Jadhav added just 39, scrambling singles but failing to find the boundary regularly, when India needed more than 13 runs per over. Dhoni was unbeaten on 42 off 31 deliveries while Jadhav was 12 not out off 13 balls.
