England vs Bangladesh, 1st Match, Group A - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Series: ICC Champions Trophy, 2017 Venue: Kennington Oval, London Date & Time: Jun 01, 10:30 AM LOCAL
BAN 305/6 (50)
ENG 308/2 (47.2)
England won by 8 wkts
PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Joe Root

Every tournament needs a blockbuster start. One-day cricket is going through that phase where it needs more competitive games. Today was a high-scoring one but it never looked like a close game. The only positive from a tournament's perspective was that the hosts came on top. There was a full house and that must be a relief. Next up will be Australia and New Zealand that must get us going and give us the real feel of the 'battle of champions' as this tournament has been advertised so far. On that note and with a promise to see you nice and early tomorrow, this is Abhishek Chaudhary signing off with Pradeep, Raju Peethala, Pratyush Sinha and Naga. Bye

Morgan: When a guy bats like that it becomes a lot easy. Having an in-form Hales is very important. He (Root) really has scored a lot of runs and he continues to do that. He has been working a lot on his power hitting and tonight it paid off. I want to lead from the front in this tournament. The guys are hungry to do well. We have got ourselves in good position after this one. Two more games to go. Probably we would have liked to take more wickets. An in batsman can really be dangerous. To continue to take wickets is going to be very important. No absolutely not, we went with the right decision in the morning considering one side of the boundary was so short and the ball was not turning (on his decision to not pick Adil Rashid today). Chris (Woakes) is the biggest concern right now. At the moment it does not feel right. We will assess everything in the morning after the scan. It will be a great game. World cup final (Australia vs New Zealand tomorrow) rematch so yeah will be watching.

Mortaza: I think 305 was a little bit short. We could not get wickets in the middle overs. Root batted pretty well and took the game away from us. Initially the wicket (was referring to the pitch) can swing and the batsmen can take time but at the end with 6-7 wickets in hands we could been a lot better. It was the first match so we thought we could go with 8 batsmen but we will have to think about it (the team combination). The main bowlers have to bowl better and we have to think about extra bowlers as well. The third umpire knows better than us. We have not seen it yet (replays perhaps), the umpire's decision is final.

Joe Root - Man of the Match: "It (the performance by England) is going to get better. Lot of confidence in the dressing room. We back each other's abilities and it rubs on everyone. It's nice to have Buttler and Stokes coming after you. It's about making sure that we have plenty of wickets at the back end. One of the top four/five has to get a 70 or a 100 not out. Sure there will be different scenarios in the tournament but we have to give it our best. Good to start on this note. Ankle is alright, it's more of a calf issue."

18:10 Local Time, 17:10 GMT, 22:40 IST: With due respect to Bangladesh's recent growth in limited overs cricket of late, this was a battle of David and Goliath. Goliath came on top. The same Goliath who underwent a metamorphosis after David had toppled him a couple of years ago in another ICC tournament. And today, Goliath has mutated into a unit that rampages through bowling attacks. For many in the comm box, Bangladesh lost this one during their slog overs when they failed to capitalize on the start. Could not quite finish on a high and on a track that only signalled what we will have on offer as the tournament progresses, the target did not look daunting. To make things worse, Mortaza's bowlers were against a batting line-up that does not end. In the end, an easy win for the hosts. The campaign has started on a happy note. They have a reputation to live up to and Morgan's boys did live up to that today. Here's the Man of the Match for today's game

Highest targets successfully chased down in CT:
306, Today
294 SL v Eng, Oval, 2013
282 SA v Eng, Dhaka, 1998
273 Eng v WI, Ahmedabad, 2006

47.2

Mosaddek Hossain to Root, FOUR, and now the sloggish swing that clears the deep mid-wicket fence on the bounce. England start their CT campaign with an emphatic 8-wicket win

47.1

Mosaddek Hossain to Root, FOUR, Root skips down and goes big, just about clears the fence at deep mid-wicket. Two needed now. His highest score in ODIs. This is Joe Root's highest ODI score. His previous best was 125 against South Africa at Centurion in Feb 2016

Mosaddek Hossain Saikat [7.0-0-39-0] is back into the attack

ENG now have 25 300+ scores since the start of 2015 - the most for a team in a three-year stretch. India had 23 such scores between 2007 and 2009

One big hit away

46.6

Rubel to Eoin Morgan, 2 runs, cracks the drive uppishly but gets intercepted by sweeper cover for just a couple

46.5

Rubel to Root, 1 run, the crowd boos Mustafizur who misjudged the top edge from Root. Was too early on the pull and skied it high but Fizz did not have much of an idea about, ran blindly and the ball fell well beyond his reach. The story of the day for Bangladesh

46.4

Rubel to Eoin Morgan, 1 run, all those T20 cricket showing now. Pretty good yorker, Eoin Morgan cannot do much. Jams to point for a single

46.3

Rubel to Root, 1 run, too short. Wafts the pull to deep square leg for a single

46.2

Rubel to Root, FOUR, and what he does with the line of his bowling? Throws it well outside off to allow Root to carve it over extra cover. Once again the man at sweeper can only run and do nothing

Rubel wants deep mid-wicket more towards cow corner
