England vs Bangladesh, ICC World Cup 2019 Highlights: Roy, bowlers power England to 106-run victory
As it happened: England thrash Bangladesh by 106 runs to get back to winning ways after their shock loss against Pakistan. Ben Stokes ended the innings with outstanding figures of 3/23 while Jofra Acher ended with 3/30. Not to forger Jason Roy’s 153 which powered England to the huge score. One has to feel for Shakib Al Hasan, whose 121 went in vain.

22:35 hrs IST
Stokes strikes again!

Partnership building
Mosaddek Hossain and Mahmudullah have already put together 23 runs off 14 deliveries and the duo are looking to issue a last ditch effort to get close to the target. They need 145 off 48 deliveries and one would feel they are just batting to improve their run-rate.
22:04 hrs IST

Rashid’s bolwing
A loopy ball from Adil Rashid and Mahmudullah slammed him for a six straight down the ground. However, it was a great spell of bowling by the spinner as he ended up with figures of 1/64 in 10 overs. A tad costly but was able to keep the batsmen quiet for quite some time. BAN 196/4
21:35 hrs IST

Shakib steady
Exquisite batting by Shakib Al Hasan. The all-rounder is looking at ease against Adil Rashid and he slammed the spinner for a four straight down the ground. This is turning out to be a great innings from the former skipper as Bangladesh are 135/2 after 24 overs.
20:52 hrs IST

20:30 hrs IST
Shakib & Rahim

20:09 hrs IST
Shakib steady
Shakib Al Hasan has been the aggressor in the partnership with 34 off 34 balls and he has steadied the innings with Tamim Iqbal trying to find his form on the other end.

20:03 hrs IST
Superb from Archer
Jofra Archer is bowling beautifully and Tamim Iqbal has no idea how to deal with his extra bounce. After struggling for most of the 10th over, Tamim did finish the over with a six over fine leg. However, the run rate is not nearly enough in this run chase. BAN 48/1
19:52 hrs IST
Record Chase

19:32 hrs IST

What the captains said
Mashrafe Mortaza, Bangladesh captain: This pitch has been under cover for the last two days. We liked to but we are sticking with the same team. Last match was disappointing but hopefully we will bounce back. We have to play at our best to beat this England team.
Eoin Morgan, England captain: I don’t think this is a bad toss to lose considering the amount of grass that has come off this wicket. We had a bad day against Pakistan. We played some good cricket against South Africa and hopefully we will play good cricket too.
14:32 hrs IST
Toss update
Bangladesh win the toss and opt to field first against England.
14:16 hrs IST
What’s the pitch like?
It’s green in simple words, according to media reports. And coupled with the rain forecast, it is certain to be another bowl first day. Interesting to see if England really carry on with Adil Rashid or opt for Liam Plunkett .

Mushfiqur threat for England
Bangladesh’s Mushfiqur Rahim has been stellar form. Stats prove that he stands between victory and England. (Read the full story here)

Bangladesh (Predicted XI): Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Mohammad Mithun, Mahmudullah, Mosaddek Hossain, Mohammad Saifuddin, Mehidy Hasan, Mashrafe Mortaza(c), Mustafizur Rahman
13:56 hrs IST
Weather update
It has been raining in Cardiff for the last 2 days, so one can expect the pitch to play a few tricks. Though there is not much rain scheduled during the match, high winds could see that change very quickly indeed.
12:48 hrs IST
Why the hype?
If England and Bangladesh were meeting in a bilateral one-day series then this match might not have generated so much interest. But there is something about an England-Bangladesh World Cup encounter. The results of the last two World Cups certainly say so. Bangladesh beat England in World Cup 2011 as well as in World Cup 2015, which knocked out of the tournament from the group stages. There was a spat between the players too during that game in Adelaide.
12:38 hrs IST
Hello and welcome
A very warm welcome to the live coverage of ICC World Cup 2019 match between England and Bangladesh at Sofia Gardens, Cardiff. This game has all the potential of turning out to be classic. It sure did in the last two Word Cups.
