After Monday’s error-strewn performance against Pakistan in Nottingham, England treated Bangladesh with a dismissive ease that will help convince them their World Cup is back on track. Jason Roy hit a sparkling 153 and, on a blustery day in Cardiff, Jofra Archer bowled like the wind. Only Andrew Strauss, with 158 against India at Bangalore in 2011, has made more for England at a World Cup. England will also be quietly thrilled that Ben Stokes picked up three for 23, his best one-day figures since January 2014. Shakib put a dent in Woakes’s figures during his lone-hand 121, but Bangladesh never came close.
