Scorecard summary
Bangladesh 188/9(37 overs)
England 197/6(24.1 overs)

10.25pm: Well, we avoided another damp squib in Guwahati, England making short work of their DLS-adjusted target to get home with a dozen overs to spare. Bangladesh have managed a good run-out from their two games, beating Sri Lanka and then landing a few blows on England between the showers. Both will move on to the World Cup proper next, with the reigning champions opening the tournament on Thursday in Ahmedabad

Moeen Ali is Player of the Match: [Good to play] "Very valuable, obviously didn't have the first game. More important for the bowlers, invaluable time in the field. I just want to play how I can play. Sometimes you have to adapt. Play to your strengths, felt like I played well so wanted to keep the momentum. [Taking on SLA] Had enough time, that particular bowler, it suited me to play that way. Wasn't something I planned. The pitch was okay, nipped around and there was a bit of bounce. [WC opener] We're ready, got enough time. Going to be a massive game, NZ are a dangerous side, but we're ready."

And that's a wrap from Guwahati tonight. Thanks for sticking with us through the delays. There are still a few more warm-up games to go, but we'll be back for more with the first game of the World Cup proper on Thursday. Cheerio!
