Google marks ICC Champions Trophy with its addictive doodle

Mohammed Shami, on the other hand, has not played an ODI since the 2015 World Cup semi-final, but the fit-again pacer, who was ably supported by the other pacers, was hitting the right lines and lengths and scalped four Black Caps wickets. He feels the recent warm-up victories against New Zealand and Bangladesh will put India in good stead.

England had their own last-minute hitch too, stumbling to 20 for six in five overs and eventually losing by seven wickets to South Africa in their final Royal London Series match at Lord’s on Monday. And after then, England is a totally different team.

This response had come shortly after a controversial retweet appeared on Sehwags twitter account “India practicing with Pota before playing Beta”.

Chris Woakes and Moeen Ali had niggles in the series against South Africa, but both are fit to take their places in the lineup.

Jonny Bairstow scored a fighting half-century before he was stumped for 52.

“It certainly was a wake-up call in the fact that you need to be able to adapt in different circumstances”, England captain Eoin Morgan told reporters at the Oval on Wednesday.

It is worth noting that Bangladesh has returned to the ICC Champions Trophy for the first time since 2006. He had a qualification to play on ICC CT 2017.

Kohli added, “We back Hardik (Pandya) and Kedar (Jadhav) to do the job for us down the order”.

For England, the inventors of the game who have never won an ICC 50-over event, sights will be set slightly higher.

The pockets of flag-waving Bangladesh fans in the ground cheered every run wildly, although their team made a cautious start.

Unsurprisingly, David Warner and Quinton de Kock are the two openers after their impressive performances since the start of 2016 where the pair are the two leading run-getters with over 3,000 runs between them.

The pace quartet of Mustafizur Rahaman, Rubel Hossain, Taskin Ahmed and skipper Mashrafe Mortaza will test the Indians. The last time the two teams met was in the year 2013.

Chasing the mammoth score, only three Bangladeshi batsmen – Mushfiqur Rahim (13), Mehedi Hasan Miraz (24) and Sunzamul Islam (18 not out) – managed to reach double figures.

“Yes. We have done well in our last few matches against England and we are confident”, he said.
