| 1.4 : 1.4: M Mortaza to J Roy, FOUR! First one of the day and what a glorious shot this is. Mortaza bowls it full for the first time today, it is on middle. Roy gets on the front foot and plays a beautiful on drive wide of mid on for a boundary. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: M Mortaza to J Roy, FOUR! Mortaza bowls it on a good length on leg, Roy looks to come forward and attack but gets an inside edge. It goes towards fine leg for a boundary. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: M Mortaza to J Roy, FOUR! In the air... but away for a boundary. Roy would have had his heart in his mouth there for a moment. Good length ball on off, Roy hits it uppishly to the right of short mid-wicket fielder who was a tad straight and it goes past him for a boundary. |
| 6.1 : 6.1: Al Hasan to J Roy, FOUR! That's the shot of the game so far. Shakib flights it on off, Roy gets his front leg forward and plays a gorgeous cover drive for a boundary. He looks in the mood today. |
| 6.5 : 6.5: Al Hasan to J Roy, FOUR! The previous boundary was class this one was more about aggression. Short on middle and leg, Roy gets on his back foot and pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 7.1 : 7.1: M Saifuddin to J Bairstow, FOUR! Excellent shot. Full on off, Bairstow drives it through mid off for a boundary. |
| 7.5 : 7.5: M Saifuddin to J Bairstow, FOUR! Another brilliant shot. This is turning out to be an excellent over for England. Overpitched ball on off, Bairstow drives it through mid off right from the meat of the bat. 50 comes up with that boundary for England. They are off to a good start here. First 50 stand between the two in this World Cup. |
| 8.6 : 8.6: Al Hasan to J Bairstow, FOUR! Nice shot. Easy pickings for Bairstow. Short delivery on middle, Jonny pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary. 8 runs have come from the over. |
| 9.4 : 9.4: M Saifuddin to J Roy, FOUR! Stand and deliver! Full on off, Bairstow smokes it over mid off and the ball bounces before the ropes and goes away. |
| 10.2 : 10.2: M Rahman to J Bairstow, FOUR! Bairstow is getting into his groove here. Good length ball on the pads, Bairstow flicks it through mid-wicket, it is the longer part of the boundary but he times it so well that it beats the fielder and goes to the fence. |
| 11.2: M Saifuddin to J Roy, SIX! First one of the day! Roy has hit that effortlessly. Full on off, Roy just eases his loft over the long off fence for a biggie. |
| 11.3 : 11.3: M Saifuddin to J Roy, FOUR! Fifty comes up for Jason Roy! His 16th in ODIs and 2nd in this World Cup. Good length ball outside off, Roy follows that six with a very well played late cut through third man and gets a boundary. |
| 13.5 : 13.5: M Rahman to J Roy, FOUR! This time uses his power and beats the man at cover. Overpitched ball outside off, Roy likes the width on offer and he frees his arm to hit it over covers for a boundary. |
| 14.6 : 14.6: Al Hasan to J Bairstow, FOUR! 100 comes up for England. First century run opening stand for England. Poor ball this from Shakib, he is guilty of bowling this on the pads, Bairstow just helps it fine down the fine leg region for a boundary. The fielder gave it a chase but was always going to come second. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: M Rahman to J Roy, FOUR! Wow! That is another excellent stroke from Roy. Full on off, it is in Roy's slot. He smokes it over extra cover for a boundary. |
| 17.5 : 17.5: M Mortaza to J Bairstow, FOUR! Right off the meat! Back of a length ball on off, with Mortaza's pace it is an easy picking for Bairstow and he played very well controlled pull through square leg for a boundary. |
| 18.6 : 18.6: M Hasan to J Roy, FOUR! Very well played this from Roy. Short on off, Roy waits for it and cuts it from right under his eyes and wide of point for a boundary. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: M Mortaza to J Bairstow, OUT! Finally Bangladesh have broken this opening stand. The skipper has done the trick here. Mortaza comes around the wicket and bowls it on middle and leg, Bairstow looks to flick but gets a leading edge. The ball flies towards cover and Mehedi Hasan there dives to his left and takes a good catch. The fielding from Bangladesh so far has been poor but maybe this will inspire them. Bairstow does not wait long after getting to his half-ton and he will be disappointed |
| 22.5 : 22.5: M Hasan to J Roy, FOUR! Pulled and pulled hard. Shorter on middle, Roy pulls it hard over mid-wicket and gets a boundary. |
| 26.5: M Rahman to J Roy, FOUR! 100 for Jason Roy! Back of a length ball on off, Roy pulls it towards deep square leg. The fielder at deep square leg misfields and the ball races away to the fence. But hold on, he cannot start celebrating just yet as Roy was ball watching and he takes down the umpire. The umpire is on the floor and Roy is having a funny chat with him. The umpire is fine and the Roy then has a handshake with Root followed by a hug. He then removes his helmet and raises his helmet |
| 27.1 : 27.1: M Saifuddin to Joe Root, FOUR! Pulled away! Short on middle, Root eases this pull away behind square leg. The fielder cannot get around in time to stop that ball. |
| 30.1: Al Hasan to J Roy, FOUR! Welcomes Shakib back into the attack with a glorious boundary. Tossed up on middle, Roy smacks it through covers for a boundary. |
| 30.2 : 30.2: Al Hasan to J Roy, FOUR! Back to back boundaries here for Roy. Floated on off, Roy smashes it through covers for a boundary. |
| 30.3 : 30.3: Al Hasan to J Roy, SIX! Now a six, he is going after Shakib here and the pressure is on Shakib. Flighted ball on middle, Roy comes down the track and demolishes it over long on. The fielder in the deep can just watch it sail over his head. |
| 31.3: M Saifuddin to Joe Root, OUT! Chopped on! Slower delivery has done the trick here. It is outside off, Root looks to flat-bat it over mid off but he gets a big inside edge and it goes on to hit the leg pole. Big, big wicket here for Bangladesh as Root is a very dangerous man and he is in excellent form. Some respite for Saifuddin as he has been expensive so far today but he has a wicket to his name now. |
| 34.1 : 34.1: M Hasan to J Roy, SIX! Don't bother looking that has disappeared way into the stands. Floated on middle and leg, Roy comes down the track and demolishes it over the mid-wicket fence for a massive six. |
| 34.2 : 34.2: M Hasan to J Roy, SIX! Two in two! Roy is putting Bangladesh through the sword here. Tossed up on middle, Roy comes down the track and smashes it over the long off fence for a huge six. |
| 34.3 : 34.3: M Hasan to J Roy, SIX! Hat-trick of sixes! Mehedi under the pump now. He gets to his 150 in some style. |
| 34.4 : 34.4: M Hasan to J Roy, OUT! Mehedi has the last laugh. But what a knock this has been from Roy! After getting three sixes in a row, one would feel this shot was not needed but that is how this English side and Roy plays. Mehedi fires it outside off, Roy was coming down the track and wanted to hit it over covers but he gets a top edge on that one. The ball goes high but straight to cover. Skipper, Mashrafe Mortaza standing there makes no mistake and takes an easy catch. A top class knock from Ro |
| 37.1 : 37.1: M Hossain to Jos Buttler, SIX! Buttler finding his rhythm here. Floated on middle and leg, Buttler comes down the track and tonks it over the cow corner region for a maximum. |
| 37.2 : 37.2: M Hossain to Jos Buttler, FOUR! 10 off the first two balls. Flatter outside off, Buttler smashes it through covers for a boundary. |
| 37.5 : 37.5: M Hossain to Jos Buttler, SIX! Buttler has demolished that. Shorter on middle and off, Jos gets on his back foot and demolishes it over long on. Jeez! You hardly see sixes being hit off the back foot to a spinner. |
| 39.3 : 39.3: M Mortaza to E Morgan, SIX! Morgan is slowly joining the party here! Just a fraction full outside off, Morgan swings his bat at it and deposits it over the long off fence for a maximum. |
| 40.4 : 40.4: M Hasan to Jos Buttler, FOUR! He is nursing some injury here but boy that is not stopping him. Floated on middle and leg, Buttler hits it towards mid-wicket with a short arm jab and the ball races away to the fence. |
| 41.4: M Rahman to Jos Buttler, SIX! New ball please this one is out of here. Full on off, it is in Buttler's zone and he demolishes it over the long on fence and the ball goes out of the park. |
| 42.1 : 42.1: Al Hasan to E Morgan, FOUR! Short and wide outside off, Morgan loves the width on offer there and cuts it through point for a boundary. |
| 44.2 : 44.2: Al Hasan to E Morgan, SIX! Straight as an arrow! Tossed up on off, Morgan comes down the track and just lofts it over the bowler's head for a maximum. |
| 45.1 : 45.1: M Saifuddin to Jos Buttler, SIX! How effortlessly has Buttler hit that? Back of a length ball on off, Buttler flat-bats it easily over long off fence for a biggie. Ideal start to the new over. |
| 45.2 : 45.2: M Saifuddin to Jos Buttler, OUT! Buttler holes out! Even if you get Buttler at this stage, it will save you some runs. It is not the best of deliveries. Full on the pads, Buttler flicks it uppishly to the right of deep square leg. Soumya Sarkar runs on that side and takes a good catch. End of a very good innings from Buttler. He was having some injury issue maybe that played a part too but nonetheless it was a good move to send him up the order. |
| 46.5 : 46.5: M Hasan to E Morgan, OUT! This time it is taken! Not by Tamim but by Sarkar. Good catch! Morgan once again looks to go big but does not time it again. It goes up in the air towards long on. For a second it seemed it would fall short but Sarkar runs in and takes a good diving catch. Both the set batsman back in the hut. Bangladesh can now look to stop England under 370. |
| 47.1 : 47.1: M Rahman to Ben Stokes, OUT! Stokes departs! Short ball on off, Stokes looks to hit it on the off side but gets a top edge on it. The ball goes high in the air towards point. Mashrafe Mortaza gets there, he keeps his eyes on the ball but it lobs out of his hand. It slips out his hand in the second attempt as well but finally manages to take it in the third attempt. Bangladesh are pulling things back here right at the depth. |
| 47.3 : 47.3: M Rahman to C Woakes, SIX! Woakes is off the mark in style. Mustafizur over cooks the short ball, Woakes picks it up early and smacks his pull over the mid-wicket fence for a maximum. |
| 47.6 : 47.6: M Rahman to C Woakes, SIX! Slapped and slapped away for six. Good length ball on off, Woakes smashes it over the long off fence for a biggie. |
| 48.1 : 48.1: M Mortaza to L Plunkett, FOUR! Plunkett has joined the party here too. Good length ball on off, Plunkett pulls it and dissects the man at deep mid-wicket and deep square leg for a boundary. |
| 48.2 : 48.2: M Mortaza to L Plunkett, FOUR! Two in two! Good length ball on middle, Plunkett pulls it away over fine leg for another boundary. |
| 48.6 : 48.6: M Mortaza to L Plunkett, SIX! Long on just watches it sail over his head. Full on middle and leg, Plunkett smokes it over the long on fence for a biggie. 18 runs off the over. |

| 49.5 : 49.5: M Saifuddin to L Plunkett, FOUR! Plunkett is enjoying his comeback into the side here. He has made an impact with the bat straightaway. Full on middle and leg, Plunkett hits it through mid on and wide of long on for a boundary. The fielder at long on had no chance. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: C Woakes to T Iqbal, FOUR! Up and over the off side! First boundary for Bangladesh and it comes off the bat of Tamim. Width on offer and Tamim pounces on it. He slaps it over point and it races away. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: J Archer to S Sarkar, OUT! Knocks him over! An absolute peach to get rid of Sarkar. Just unplayable! Archer steams in and lands it just outside off, Sarkar looks to play the original trajectory. The ball though straightens. Goes between the gap of bat and pad and hits the top of off. The ball almost went over the fence behind after hitting the top of off. Indicates at what pace this guy is bowling. Dreadful start for Bangladesh. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: C Woakes to Al Hasan, FOUR! Streaky! Shakib is pushing too hard at the ball. Once again he is guilty of doing that on a length delivery outside off. The ball takes a thick outside edge and goes between first slip and gully for a boundary. |
| 9.6 : 9.6: J Archer to Al Hasan, SIX! A biggie to end Powerplay 1! Spoils the over somewhat! Another short one and Shakib may have been ready this time. He helps it on its way over the fine leg fence. A decent Powerplay 1 for Bangladesh but they are still way behind the game. 48 for 1 is their score. 339 needed in 240. |
| 11.4 : 11.4: M Wood to Al Hasan, FOUR! Excellent shot! Wood offers width and cuts it through point for a boundary. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: M Wood to T Iqbal, OUT! Wood strikes in his very first over. Tamim has not had a great World Cup so far but he was looking good here today and he fails to convert his start once again. Wood hits the length hard on off, Tamim looks to cut it but ends up slicing it to the man at point. The ball goes straight to Eoin Morgan who takes an easy catch. Bangladesh in deep waters here and need something special here. |
| 13.6: M Wood to Al Hasan, FOUR! Bad delivery from Wood to end the over. He strays it on the pads, Shakib just eases his flick fine down the fine leg region for a boundary. |

| 19.1 : 19.1: A Rashid to Al Hasan, FOUR! Poor ball and hit in the gap! Short and on middle, Shakib goes back and hits it hard through mid-wicket. Short boundary and the ball races away to the fence. They need a lot more of these. |
| 21.2 : 21.2: A Rashid to Al Hasan, FOUR! Good shot this! Floated on off, Shakib creams his drive through covers for a boundary. |
| 22.3 : 22.3: M Wood to Al Hasan, FOUR! Shakib is putting his foot on the gas here. Back of a length ball on off, Shakib uppercuts it wide of Adil Rashid at third man for a boundary. |
| 23.6 : 23.6: A Rashid to Al Hasan, FOUR! Straight as an arrow. Flighted ball on middle, Shakib hits it straight back past the bowler and times it as clean as a whistle. Beats long on with ease! Good end to the over for Bangladesh. |
| 25.1 : 25.1: A Rashid to Al Hasan, FOUR! Nicely played! Goes down on one knee and then swipes it past mid-wicket and into the fence. Good start to the over. |

| 28.4 : 28.4: L Plunkett to Al Hasan, FOUR! NAILED! Short and on middle, Shakib goes back and hammers the pull over mid-wicket for a boundary. Shakib is into the 90s. |
| 28.6 : 28.6: L Plunkett to M Rahim, OUT! Leading edge and taken! End of the stand which was keeping Bangladesh in the game! Plunkett gets his first. A length ball around middle, it comes off slow of the surface. Rahim looks to flick but closes the face of the bat early. A leading edge is induced and it flies towards Roy at point who does not drop many. End of a brilliant stand between Mushfiqur and Shakib but Bangladesh needed much more from them. |
| 29.3 : 29.3: A Rashid to M Mithun, OUT! What a catch by Bairstow! Two wickets in quick succession for England. Another failure for Mithun. He comes down the track and looks to go big but is not to the pitch of it. He still goes ahead with the shot but it turns away. Takes a big edge and goes to the right of Bairstow who moves his hands quickly and the ball stays in. |
| 35.6 : 35.6: A Rashid to Mahmudullah, SIX! What a hit! Rashid tosses it up on off, Mahmudullah comes down the track and smokes it straight into the sightscreen for a maximum. That was the last ball of his spell. Adil Rashid finishes with the figures of 10-0-64-1. |
| 38.2 : 38.2: C Woakes to Al Hasan, FOUR! Just over! Length and on middle, Shakib lifts it just over the outstretched hand of Archer and into the long off fence. |

| 38.5 : 38.5: C Woakes to Al Hasan, FOUR! Third boundary in the over! Short again and it is on middle, Shakib once again pulls it through mid-wicket and it races away. |
| 39.3 : 39.3: Ben Stokes to Al Hasan, OUT! The dropped catch has not cost England much. Stokes has impressed in his 1 and a half overs and got a well deserved wicket here. He bowls a perfect yorker on middle and leg, Shakib looks to jam it out but gets an inside edge onto his boot. The ball then goes onto disturb the off pole. End of an excellent innings from Shakib. He walks off to a standing ovation from the crowd. He raises his bat in appreciation. |
| 39.4 : 39.4: Ben Stokes to M Hossain, FOUR! Edgy but Mosaddek won't mind. Good length ball on off, Mosaddek looks defend but it goes off the outside edge towards the third man region for a boundary. |

| 42.5 : 42.5: C Woakes to M Hossain, FOUR! Woakes hits the length hard but Hossain flat-bats it over the bowler's head for a boundary. 250 comes up with that for Bangladesh. |

The ball goes towards the fine leg region. Bairstow with the gloves runs to get there and takes an easy catch. He made it look easy. |
| 45.4 : 45.4: Ben Stokes to M Saifuddin, OUT! No such luck for Saifuddin here. Fuller in length on middle and off, Saifuddin looks to flick but misses and the ball goes between his bat and pad onto the stumps. Third wicket for Stokes, he did not have a good day with the bat but he has certainly enjoyed his time with the ball. |
| 46.3 : 46.3: M Wood to M Hasan, FOUR! Short on the body, Mehedi pulls it over fine leg region and wide of the fielder there for a boundary. |
| 46.6 : 46.6: M Wood to M Hasan, FOUR! That was hit with some venom. Full on off, Mehedi hits it over the bowler's head. Wood stretches his arm out but does get it on time. |

Mustafizur looks to duck but he is late and the ball hits him very high on the bat and lobs up to the right of Bairstow. He gets there and takes a simple catch. ENGLAND WIN BY 106 RUNS. |
