364/9(50.0ov)
227/10(48.2ov)
England beat Bangladesh by 137 runs
That's it from this game then, England bag their first points whereas, Bangladesh lose their first. There is another game going on between Pakistan and Sri Lanka which promises to be a cracker. You can catch all the action by switching tabs. Until next time, goodbye and take care.
Jos Buttler says they did really well after the poor performance in the last game and is pleased. Reckons they could have scored more runs in the end. Admits they need to work on building partnerships. Ends by saying it is about adapting to the conditions and that is what they'll look to do going ahead.
Shakib Al Hasan says it was a good toss to win but their bowlers did not bowl that well earlier on. He is happy with how they pulled things back. He feels they could have had a chance had it been under 320. Mentions it is a long tournament and they are looking forward for the next game.
Dawid Malan, MAN OF THE MATCH, says he is very pleased. Adds it has been a long journey and he is happy to do well. States Root at number is very reliant and it gives them licence to play freely. Adds he hopes to continue to do well.
For England, Reece Topley was excellent, he bagged a four-fer. Woakes went for runs earlier on but came back well later on. The spinners and Wood also did a decent job. A convincing performance by the champions.
A thumping win for England and they are underway in this year's Wolrd Cup. 350 plus was never going to be easy to chase and when you lose 4 early on, it gets even tougher. Das was the only shinning light for Bangladesh but did not receive support. After that, it was all about Bangladesh playing out the 50 overs but that too is something they did not do.
