Scorer: Ranjith P | Commentator: Rashad Mahbub

That concludes all the action from today's match. Thank you for tuning in and staying with us throughout the coverage. On behalf of Madushka Balasuriya and Ranjith P, this is Rashad Mahbub signing off. Goodbye!

Azizul Hakim: "Obviously, we're very disappointed with a couple of mistakes we made, but we are learning. We will take those lessons forward. [First half of the game] A total of 137 was not good enough on this wicket. We made mistakes in the top order, and while there were some good runs, it wasn't enough to challenge England. They batted very well, and we also missed our mark with the ball. We have one game left and we just want to play as hard as possible. We will sit together to discuss the mistakes we've learned from because this was a missed opportunity. We just want to play our best cricket."

Player of the Match, Thomas Rew: "It was a decent wicket with a bit of spin, but the way we bowled up top was unbelievable. The bowlers deserve all the credit for keeping them under 140 on that surface; it was an incredible effort. We didn't actually talk about the speed of the chase. We just discussed both of us wanting to be there at the end. Mayes and I have a great relationship and enjoy being out there together, so sharing another nice partnership was a great touch. [Batting tempo] My strengths are sweeping the spinners, so as soon as they come on, I look to attack and not let them settle. At the other end, my partner is very controlled and has some great shots, which helps us build a partnership. Once we get going, the goal is just to carry that momentum forward. [Keeping, batting and captaincy] I don't think it's too much of a challenge; I love it. During training, I try to get plenty of work in for both keeping and batting. I enjoy all of it [What pleased you the most?] The way we started with the ball was incredible. Keeping them under 140 on that surface was a great effort; I thought it was a decent cricket wicket, so a lot of credit goes to the bowlers. [Conditions in Bulawayo] Definitely. The wicket was slightly different with more spin and a drier surface, but we adapted quickly. Both the spinners and seamers bowled really well. [Fielding effort] We pride ourselves on our fielding and work on it every single training session. Our fielding coach, Stick, works us hard and pushes us to be our best. Seeing catches like that come off in a game is an incredible feeling. [Next game] We'll get a couple of days of training in, but we plan to relax tomorrow. I think we're going on a safari, which will be a nice way to explore the country. Not much will change in our approach before facing New Zealand."

3 pm England's unbeaten run and dominance in all three departments continues, effectively ending Bangladesh's hopes of reaching the semifinals. Bangladesh did find an early breakthrough in their defense of a low total, removing Moores in the second over thanks to a stunning catch by Shadhin at deep third. Al Fahad bowled with great discipline using the new ball, but England's top order remained cautious, only attacking the occasional loose delivery. Dawkins looked sharp before falling to an attacking shot caught at deep square leg. In the 14th over, Rew shifted the momentum completely by hitting consecutive sixes off the leg-spinner, Shadhin, keeping the scoreboard moving steadily. Mayes and Rew put together a solid 76-run partnership before Mayes was caught near the deep square leg boundary for 34. Thomas Rew led from the front with a bold, attacking innings, remaining unbeaten on 59 to see England home. With today's win, England move to the top of the table in Group 2. Post-match stuff coming up shortly.
