Tremlett into the side in place of Gough (being rested i assume, no mention on the bbc site), and giles back in for solanki.

Should be a good game as Bangladesh are on a high and will hopefully be a bit more confident about playing england, and if they bat first then bowling will be a lot easier at night for them, if england bat first though i'd say the game is won, not because england are far better or anything, but simply because under lights in england a team only has to be able to bowl in the vague direction of the batsman and it will turn unplayable, daft playing day/nighters here.

........perhaps starting with the fact Tremlet will be starting. I like the look of that !

Good start from Tresco and Strauss. Tresco got carried away and was caught for 85. The skipper then came in and got nought. 148-2 and it's Freddie at four.

[Notts Exile]

So, Freddie goes for 17 and it's 179-3. Time for KP surely? No, time for Collingwood. I don't understand their batting line-ups. KP is a better batsman than Collingwood and should be coming in to join Strauss (hardly a belter himself) with 25 overs to go with time to make a massive impact. Fletcher and Vaughan need their heads looking at, I don't believe they have a clue about ODI strategies - Test Matches they do fine but their thinking seems to go very strange when it comes to the shorter version.

If we don't get 400, it's all Vaughan's fault.

I imagine the thinking was: "OK we're gonna win this one by a street, unless someone can find some really good odds somewhere, and Collingwood hasn't had much of a bat. Let's give him a chance to make some real runs. Can't hurt him, and it won't hurt KP missing out on a triple century." "No, but it would've been fun to watch."

Is Tremlett as good as his Dad? Better? Or not so tight?

Never seen him play.

A Massacre at Trent Bridge!
The Tigers became lambs and the Trent Bridge cricket ground became an abattoir!
It was a wonderful display of batting by Andrew Strauss and Paul Collingwood. I wonder if the Bangladeshis could restrict the margin of defeat to within 100 runs!

The way the boy tremletts going, will they REACH 100 runs !!

Probably will but good effort so far.
