Eoin Morgan's side is four points behind table-topper New Zealand, which is on 125 points after dropping two points. South Africa has slipped two places to fifth ranking after conceding six points, but is one point ahead of Australia. Australia has swapped places with reigning ICC World Twenty20 champions, the West Indies, which is 14 points ahead of eighth-ranked Sri Lanka (95 points, down by four). Bangladesh is ranked 10th on 78 points after gaining four points, while Zimbabwe has retained its 12th rank after gaining three points. Among the non-Test playing sides, Afghanistan and the Netherlands have moved in opposite directions. Afghanistan is the side to benefit most after England as it has gained 6 points and climbed to 90 points.Agencies
