live England vs Bangladesh match From Prithviraj Kothari ED

England and Bangladesh will both hope for a return to winning ways when they launch the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy at the Oval on Thursday.

England collapsed to 20 for six in five overs in the third and last ODI against South Africa — the worst start in one-day international history.

Even in the month of June, early morning cloud is often a central characteristic of English cricket conditions.

Already regarded as one of the favourites to win the trophy, England can not pick a worse time to be complacent than in their Champions Trophy opener against Bangladesh.

Bangladesh are too a bit low on confidence after collapsing to 84 all out in reply to Champions Trophy title-holders India's 324 for seven in their final warm-up match at the Oval on Tuesday.

Defeat by 240 runs was certainly not the best warm up for the Bangladesh side.

"You know, 84 obviously doesn't look good," said Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza.

However, Bangladesh will be confident of causing an upset after recording warm-up wins over New Zealand and Ireland in Dublin earlier this month.

De Kock brushes off cobwebs with powerful hundred

South Africa, powered by Quinton de Kock's hundred, produced a convincing victory by 66 runs against Sussex at Hove as they warmed up for their ODI series against England and the Champions Trophy.

In a match reduced to 32 overs because of rain, some thrilling batting from de Kock, Wayne Parnell and JP Duminy gave them a formidable score 289 for 4; in reply Sussex were never in the chase but batted very respectably to make 223 for 9.  South Africa were without captain AB de Villiers, who was feeling unwell, as well as Faf du Plessis who rested a shoulder niggle.

De Kock, playing his first game since March, hit an unbeaten 78-ball 104 a few days after collecting a haul of prizes at the CSA annual awards. He missed the IPL tournament after suffering a finger injury in New Zealand. He retired after striking five fours and seven sixes to allow others a chance.

De Kock and Parnell put on 121 for the first wicket before the equally aggressive Parnell, who hit 61 off 42 deliveries, with seven fours and three sixes, was out in the 15th over, lbw to former South Africa batsman Stiaan van Zyl.

But there was no let-off for the Sussex bowlers even after they had seen the back of the openers. Duminy produced the best strike-rate of the innings, with 68 off 46 balls, hitting successive sixes off spinner Danny Briggs.

Sussex looked out of the contest when Kagiso Rabada reduced them to 5 for 2 in the first over.  Chris Nash, leading the side in the absence of Luke Wright, played on to his second delivery and then Luke Wells, making his first appearance of the season after injury, was lbw to his first ball.

Van Zyl, 12 times a Test player for South Africa, looked in the mood to make a point, with 16 off 10 balls, but was then athletically caught by Farhaan Behardien at backward-point.

Phil Salt provided a bright feature of the Sussex innings with a 33-ball 37, which included a remarkable reverse flick over backward square-leg for six off the bowling of Dwaine Pretorius.  In the next over, bowled by Morne Morkel, he struck the first two deliveries for four but was out to the final delivery, caught behind playing a ramp shot, ending a spirited fourth-wicket partnership of 57 with Harry Finch.

After Salt's dismissal Finch and Delray Rawlins continued to take the attack to the South Africa bowlers.  Rawlins was run out for 41 but Finch went on to top score for Sussex with 62 before he miscued to mid-off.

South Africa have another warm-up game at Northampton on Sunday before facing England at Headingley on Wednesday.

Middlesex have no response to Essex seamers Prithviraj Kothari ED

Paul Walter and Jamie Porter blasted out fragile Middlesex for 149 to claim career-best one-day figures and lay the foundations for Essex's comfortable seven-wicket Royal London Cup victory.

Walter marked his List A debut on Wednesday with three wickets at the death against Sussex, and bettered that with four front-line Middlesex wickets for 37 from eight overs. At one stage he had taken 4 for 21 runs from 27 balls.

Porter weighed in, claiming his four wickets for 40 as Middlesex, put in, slumped from 54 for 1 to 117 for 9. Only a last-wicket stand of 31 between Steven Finn and Ravi Patel, the second best of the innings, took Middlesex to a seriously below-par 148. To compound their humiliation, they left nearly 10 of their 50 overs unused.

Alastair Cook saw Essex through to their fifth win in six as the day-night match ended with more than 20 overs remaining and still in bright sunlight. Cook finished unbeaten on 67.

The big news in Essex's selection was that James Foster came in for his first game of the season behind the stumps; he was on the scorecard as early as the seventh over. Nick Gubbins had hit five fours in 22 before he got a thick edge to Porter and a diving Foster took the catch in front of first slip.

After two brief breaks for rain, which enlivened the wicket no end, Middlesex lost two wickets in five balls. Nick Compton played on to Walter's second legitimate ball and then Dawid Malan wafted at Porter to give Foster a more straightforward catch.

Walter made deep inroads into the Middlesex middle-order in a spell of four wickets from 27 balls at a personal cost of 21 when he sent back Adam Voges, James Franklin and John Simpson in quick order.

Voges chased a wide one to give Foster a third catch, Franklin was trapped lbw on his crease next ball, and Simpson followed in his next over, also leg before. Middlesex had slumped from 54 for 1 to 90 for 6.

When the 22-year-old Walter came off after six overs, he had figures of 4 for 31. That brought Porter back into the attack and he claimed his third wicket, Ryan Higgins misjudging a slower ball and cross-batting to Tom Westley at short midwicket.

Tom Helm contributed just one before he sent back a tame caught-and-bowled to Ashar Zaidi and then Toby Roland-Jones fell lbw to Porter, stepping back and not playing a shot. Patel showed some spirit with a six off Zaidi over long leg as the tail wagged determinedly. , Patel finally departed for a pleasing 18 when he was bowled by Simon Harmer, leaving Finn 13 not out.

Varun Chopra and Cook moved comfortably to 49 for the first wicket. Cook stepped back to cut one from Helm and Chopra pulled Finn for two splendid fours before he was first to depart, caught behind on the drive against Patel.

Cook survived a dropped catch by Franklin in the slips off Finn when he was 35, and soon after Zaidi received a reprieve when Patel missed a simple caught-and-bowled on one. It only cost Middlesex five runs as Zaidi swept Patel low to Voges at square leg.

The England opener eased himself to fifty from 51 balls when he punched Patel through the covers for his eighth boundary. His ninth, though, was rather more fortunate as he edged Finn uppishly through a three-man slip cordon.

Tom Westley came in after successive first-ball ducks, but looked in better form as he thumped Finn through the covers for four and added two more with identical on-drives off Helm. However, in the same over, he chopped on and departed for 15.

Ravi Bopara looked in a hurry as he took three fours in an over off Patel, sweeping the first and lofting two straight drives to take Essex within 15 runs of victory in only the 26th over. The otherwise accurate Patel finished with a tidy two for 39 from his 10 overs.
