England put their opening-day defeat against New Zealand firmly behind them when they beat Bangladesh by 137 runs in the Cricket World Cup in Dharamshala.

The defending champions were utterly humbled by the Kiwis in a nine-wicket defeat that left viewers stunned, and even more problematically, dealt a significant blow to the side’s net run rate.

The Himalayan foothills provided a stunning backdrop to the occasion, and despite pre-match discussions being dominated by concerns around the nature of the pitch, it did not have any significant effect on the performance. Speaking to reporters on the eve of the clash, Jos Buttler described the pitch as “poor”, claiming it was different to the one used when he played at the same ground during the IPL, but England emerged victorious and having boosted their net run rate.

The pitch was also a cause for concern when Afghanistan played against Bangladesh there, as Mujeeb Ur Rahman jarred his knee in the sandy turf diving for a ball, and head coach and former England batter Jonathan Trott said players were “unsure” over their footing.

More from Dawid Malan

Dawid Malan paid tribute to batting partner, Joe Root, who scored 82 runs and was part of a 150 run partnership with the left-handed opener.

“When you’ve got Joe Root at number three, it allows us to play with freedom,” said Malan, “Maybe a bit of hunger, I’m desperate to do well in this format and prove a point that I deserve to be in there.”

England move up tournament table

This victory was much needed for Jos Buttler’s team after their opening round defeat to New Zealand. The manner of victory, by 137 runs, has also helped rescue their net run-rate which is now back into the positive realm.

England are now fifth instead of 10th and jump ahead of today’s opponents Bangladesh.

Dawid Malan awarded player of the match

England batter and player of the match Dawid Malan: “I’m going to say experience if anything. It’s nice to contribute, it’s been a long journey to get here. I don’t know what it’s down to but hopefully, it continues.

“I think sometimes, people create a narrative of something that isn’t there to support their writing or views, it has always been there, sometimes you play good shots, sometimes you play bad shots. It is about cashing in when you can.”

Dawid Malan is England’s oldest centurion in Cricket World Cup after explosive knock in Dharamshala

Malan, at the age of 36 years and 37 days, struck five sixes and 16 fours in his knock of 140 off 107 deliveries as England put up 364 for 9 in 50 overs, their third-highest total in a 50-over World Cup.

The record for being the oldest centurion in a World Cup among England cricketers previously belonged to former captain Graham Gooch, who scored a World Cup hundred at the age of 34 years and 105 days during the 1987 edition of the marquee tournament.

England beat Bangladesh by 137 runs

Jos Buttler: “I think a really good performance, we bounced back from a disappointing first game.

“I think just the back end of the innings we would have liked to get a few more. That’s the one area I think we could improve because the opening partnership was brilliant and then Malan and Root was excellent.

“I think you’re always looking for that perfect performance, I think those 10 overs from 30 to 40 we probably scored 100 runs.”

England beat Bangladesh by 137 runs

Shakib Al Hasan: “I thought it was a good toss to win, last night there was some rain, there was some help for the bowlers, but I thought we didn’t start well enough.

“We came back strongly in the last 10 overs I would say.

“We had a very good plan, the plan we could not execute. Once they got the momentum they never looked back.”

England beat Bangladesh by 137 runs

Dawid Malan on reaching his highest ODI score: “Experience if anything, but it’s nice to contribute, there’s been a long journey to get to this stage so to get here is fantastic and to help England win a game is great.

“I think sometimes create a narrative that isn’t there just to justify their own writing or views but it (how I play spin) has always been there.”

On getting in and going big: “A bit of hunger, I’m desperate to do well this tournament and prove people wrong.”

Wicket! Taskin out for 15 b Curran - England win by 137 runs

That first ball from Curran has hit the stumps but not dislodged the bail! Amazing! Even Michael Atherton and Eoin Morgan on commentary are speechless.

That has hit leg stump hard!

But the next ball has gone straight into middle and the bails have come off. A middle stump yorker and England win by 137 runs.

Bangladesh 227-9 (48) Mustafizur 3, Taskin 15, Wood 1-29 (10) need 138 from 12

This will be the 48th over of the innings and Wood’s last, but can he get the wicket to end proceedings before the final over?

There’s two flashes for singles, but the slower ball goes by without an edge.

Sonia Twigg10 October 2023 14:00

Bangladesh 225-9 (47) Taskin 14, Mustafizur 2, Curran 0-47 (7) need 140 runs from 18

There are just four overs left but England will want to bowl Bangladesh out here.

Taskin has gone for a big heave against Curran and completely missed the ball, but it was outside the off stump.
