Visiting England lost opener Jason Roy while batting in the second innings targeting 210 runs in the first ODI of the three-match cricket series against Bangladesh.
Ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan bagged the wicket. England scored 18 runs in 6 overs for one wicket till writing this report.
Earlier, Bangladesh struggled to build momentum and were eventually all out for 209 runs, with Najmul Hosssian Shanto being the only player to score a half-century for the hosts in Mirpur, reports UNB.Despite winning the toss and opting to bat first, Bangladesh got off to a shaky start as their opening partnership between Tamim Iqbal and Litton Das produced just 33 runs before Litton was dismissed for 7. Tamim was unable to maintain a steady pace and also fell shortly after.
The pace bowling duo of Mark Wood and Chris Woakes proved to be formidable for the Bangladesh openers.
Najmul Hossain Shanto provided some stability for Bangladesh, scoring his first ODI half-century by the 31st over.
However, Shanto was unable to convert it into a century and fell short at 58 runs. All-rounder Mahmudullah Riyad was the second-highest scorer for Bangladesh with 31 runs off 48 balls, although he never looked comfortable at the crease.
Mark Wood was the standout performer for England, taking two wickets for 35 runs in eight overs, while Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, and Adil Rashid also claimed two wickets each.
