6.35am EDT 06:35 14th over: West Indies 58-1 (Hope 17, Lewis 35) The Bangladeshi fans seem to be out in force in Taunton – we get a nice shot of nine fans, each with one letter of the country’s name on their shirts. You’ve got to be organised with that sort of thing, particularly as …
South Africa v Afghanistan: Cricket World Cup – live! | Sport
8.41am EDT 08:41 3rd over: Afghanistan 9-0 (Hazratullah 9, Noor Ali 0) Hazratullah gets a couple to backward square leg, and then hoists one over midwicket, safely clear of the field but it gets nowhere near the boundary, pretty much stopping as soon as it lands. 8.38am EDT 08:38 2nd over: Afghanistan 4-0 (Hazratullah 4, …

Bangladesh v Sri Lanka: Cricket World Cup 2019 – live! | Sport
5.06am EDT 05:06 Injury news Indian’s ICC tournament specialist Shikhar Dhawan suffered a fractured thumb against Australia on Sunday and will be out for an unspecified period of time.
