England v Australia is live on BBC Test Match Special on BBC Sounds and Radio 5 Sports Extra on Saturday from 17:45 BST, with text commentary and in-play video clips on the BBC Sport website and appDefeat against Australia in Barbados would potentially make the final two games against Namibia and Oman must-win for the defending champions.
After Australia, England play Oman on Thursday 13 June and Namibia two days later, with both matches in Antigua."If we don’t that makes everything crucial and you have to win by margins - again with weather around." Just 10 overs were possible in England's meeting with Scotland, with the lower-ranked side impressing by reaching 90-0 in 10 overs.
Coach Matthew Mott admitted England were "sloppy" in the field, while Wood had opener George Munsey caught off a no-ball."I bowled 13 balls yesterday, and one of them is a wicket and it’s the one I’ve no-balled," Wood said. "If any of the others was the no-ball, I’m probably sitting here thinking, it’s not a problem, but because I’m getting the wicket off that ball it hurts the team."He reverse-sweeps Rash and every time that's happening I'm thinking 'oh no, that's my fault again'.Listen to live Test Match Special commentary of Australia v Oman from 01:15 BST on Thursday on BBC Sounds, the BBC Sport website & app and BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra.
