England 386-6 off 50 overs (J Roy 153, J Buttler 64, M Miraz 2-67) beat Bangladesh 280ao off 48.5 overs (S Al Hasan 121, J Archer 3-29, B Stokes 3-23) by 106 runs. Jason Roy helped himself to a sparkling century as England got back to winning ways at the World Cup with a 106-run victory over Bangladesh. Jason Roy made 153 against Bangladesh. Bangladesh never threatened to go close in reply, during which both Jofra Archer and Mark Wood touched 95mph, but Shakib-al-Hasan’s classy 121 spared them a rout. Moeen Ali’s off-spin was certainly not missed, the all-rounder somewhat surprisingly dropped in favour of the returning Liam Plunkett, with England’s pace barrage rolling Bangladesh for 280 in the penultimate over.
