syed rasel was injured and robin (mahbubul alam) played replacing him.

england wanted to bat 2nd time. COOK asked BD captain to declare. bd captain said they want to take a handsome lead. so cook decided to give them a big lead in quick time. so COOK himself along with his opening batsman partner CARBURY started bowling loyng hops, half volleys and jucy full tosses. fielders were waiting on boundary and was only chasing the ball after it crossed the boundary.

anyway both dollar and shuvahoto has big hitting power but dollar is a headless chicken. more often u will fing him skying the ball for easy catches.

shuvagoto has the mentality to flourish in formats of the game and in all kinds of sitauation
