Saturday Recap
Jason Roy was the star man for England on Saturday, hitting 153 to help the hosts post their highest-ever World Cup total of 386 for six:
Jonny Bairstow grabbed a half-century before being caught by Mehidy Hasan, while Jos Buttler was also in fine form. He raced to 64 as England produced an impressive batting display:
A late surge from Chris Woakes and Liam Plunkett saw England add 45 off 17 balls to set Bangladesh a daunting run chase:
Jofra Archer gave the England attack an early boost by bowling Soumya Sarkar in a powerful display by the 24-year-old:
Ben Stokes also shone by taking three wickets, including that of Shakib Al Hasan who managed his first World Cup ODI century on his way to 121:
Yet Bangladesh never got near the run rate required to deny England, and the hosts picked up a much-needed win after defeat to Pakistan last time out.
The hosts will be concerned by an injury picked up by Buttler while batting. The wicketkeeper didn't come out to field, with Bairstow taking the gloves instead.
New Zealand continued their winning start to the World Cup with a comfortable victory over Afghanistan.
Jimmy Neesham and Lockie Ferguson both impressed as Afghanistan were bowled out for 172:
However, it was not all plain sailing as New Zealand lost Martin Guptill to the first ball of the innings:
Yet it was not enough to distract the Black Caps from their task, and they went on to cruise to a convincing victory for the loss of just three wickets.
Captain Kane Williamson led the charge with an unbeaten 79 off just 99 balls, while Ross Taylor came close to a half-century:
Afghanistan seamer Aftab Alam took all three wickets but could not prevent his team slipping to a third straight defeat.
