Pakistan ask Bangladesh to bowl

Bangladesh will have to bowl first in their final match of this World Cup, against Pakistan in Lord's on Friday.

Pakistan still have a slight chance to qualify for the semifinal, but they have to beat the Tigers by at least 316 runs, which seems very very unlikely.

The game is billed as Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza's last World Cup game, so they will be determined to give their skipper a perfect send-off.

Pakistan remain unchanged, but Bangladesh recall fit-again Mahmudullah and Mehidy Hasan Miraz as Sabbir Rahman and Rubel Hossain sit out.
