MY reading of points table is...
If Bangladesh win today they move to 7 points (a draw = 6)

Following that (possibility) the MAXimum England (or the 3 lowest teams) could achieve is 4 points.(maybe 5 if a draw today)

So England are eliminated unless they WIN today

If England win they will likely make it through.. but that is not assured.
