ENG VS BAN - Match 12, ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

Bangladesh were the reason why England got knocked out from World Cup 2015 and here they are after four years as one of the favourites to lift the title. Against the same side they have announced that they have truly arrived. Their openers fired, their finishers fired and so did their quicks - Jofra Archer and Mark Wood. A complete performance, indeed. That is all we've got from this encounter. You can switch tabs and follow the match between New Zealand and Afghanistan. For now this is Nikhil Jadhav signing off on behalf of Pradeep Krishnamurthy, Abhinand Raghavendran, Varun Dikshit and Sulthan. See you tomorrow!

Eoin Morgan: I think more positives to take out from the game today. We took a lot of positives from the last game against Pakistan too. We knew we needed to improve in order to win against Bangladesh and we were outstanding with the bat. The two boys at the top (openers) laid a solid platform as Jason (Roy) managed to get a significant score. It's great to see. He's very intimidating to play against and the impact he has against oppositions is significant. With Jos Buttler coming in and Chris Woakes, Liam Plunkett - all of them contributed. I think majority of the teams will open with spin against us as it worked in the first game. There's something always that sides will throw at us. Whether it's spin, swing, whatever - we are prepared. With Archer, Wood, Woakes, Stokes in the bowling, it's outstanding. They're wonderful to captain and today was no different. It's an area to work on, it was an improved performance in the field today. No serious concern with Jos (Buttler) at the moment. He didn't keep as a precautionary measure and will be monitored in the next 48 hours.

Mashrafe Mortaza: 386 is too many, credit goes to their batsmen. It's very difficult to get him (Roy) once he gets set. We knew we had to get Roy out, only then we could have come back in the match. The pitch was under cover for one and a half days, so it was a straight decision to bowl first. We need luck sometimes to get those wickets. 330 could have been a different chase but as I said this score was too much. Shakib is batting so well for us at number 3. His bowling also has been fantastic. Still six matches to go and hopefully others step up in those games. Very important matches coming up.

Jason Roy, Man of the Match: It was great to get out there and put in a big performance. Just the way Jonny and myself batted, we built the innings well, weren't quite sure how the pitch will behave. With that batting line-up, no matter what we get off the first 10 overs, batting the whole 50, we're gonna get a big score. We've been doing pretty well together over the past couple of years. We have nothing much to worry about. We just go out there and get the job done. I didn't have a chance to chat with him (Morgan). He's obviously going to be very happy. We righted our wrongs. I'm extremely happy.

18:18 Local Time | 22:48 IST: That completes a clinical victory for England. Apart from the toss, nothing went in favour of Bangladesh today. After conceding a defeat against Pakistan, England have bounced back in the best possible way. The English openers failed to fire in their first two games but today they made sure to have a partnership upfront. Jonny Bairstow scored a fifty, Buttler chipped in with a quick fifty as well but Jason Roy's knock of 153 was the highlight of the day. As a result of his mind blowing innings England notched up a massive score of 386 and the hosts had clinched the game in the first half itself. Although Shakib Al Hasan notched up a prolific century, they never looked like chasing down such a massive target. But Shakib's knock of 121 has made sure that Bangladesh's net run rate doesn't get a massive beating. Could have been much worse had he not played that knock. Hang on for the presentations..

Jofra Archer to Mustafizur, out Caught by Bairstow!! Mustafiz is the last man out and it's Jofra Archer who brings an end to Bangladesh's misery. Bowls a short ball around off and Fizz takes his eyes completely off the ball. The ball comes off the bottom end of his willow and balloons up to the keeper. England beat Bangladesh by 106 runs.

Jofra Archer to Mehidy Hasan, out Caught by Bairstow!! Edged and taken! Short and wide outside off, Mehidy Hasan throws his hands at this one and gets a feather to the keeper. He was expecting this short ball to be aimed at his body and hence he had backed away. That made it difficult for him to reach out for it outside off. It came off the cue end eventually.
