00:00 Having lost their opening match at the 2023 Cricket World Cup to New Zealand,
00:05 Joss Butler's England were in need of a victory in their second outing to get their tournament back on track.
00:10 Against a Bangladesh side ranked 7th in the world, and therefore two places below England,
00:16 they were presented with the ideal opportunity.
00:19 Against New Zealand, only Joe Root had scored above a half century in England's batting innings,
00:24 but against Bangladesh, three of England's line-up managed to score over 50 runs.
00:28 Opener Jonny Bestow set down the gauntlet with 52,
00:31 with his opening partner Dawit Milan scoring an impressive 140.
00:35 Joe Root then managed 82 to set England on their way to 364 for 9.
00:39 When Bangladesh came to the crease, Rhys Topley had their card marked.
00:43 He took four wickets, including three of the opening four batsmen,
00:46 with Chris Wokes dismissing the other in Lytton Das on 76.
00:50 Ultimately, England proved too hot to handle and saw Bangladesh all out on 227
00:55 to give Josh Butler's side the important victory.
