Malan stars as England impress against Bangladesh

Dawid Malan hit 140 and fellow Yorkshire batters Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root also made sizable contributions as England posted a competitive 364 for nine against Bangladesh in their second game of the 2023 World Cup.

Malan and Bairstow (52) put on 115 for the first wicket as the former became the third oldest man to score their first-ever World Cup century at the age of 36 years and 37 days.

Root also impressed with 82 to move past Graham Gooch as England’s highest run-scorer at World Cups.

After a strong start, though, England, who were looking to bounce back from their thrashing by New Zealand, faltered against a Bangladesh attack who varied their pace well.

Captain Jos Buttler made 20 from 10 balls after promoting himself up to number four with Harry Brook making the same score.

Liam Livingstone was out first ball before late flurries from Sam Curran (11), Chris Woakes (14) and Adil Rashid (11) guided the defending champions past the 350 mark.

Mahedi Hasan was arguably the pick of the Bangladesh attack, taking four for 71 from eight overs while Shoriful Islam chipped in with three for 75 from his allocated 10.
