England have cruised to an eight-wickets victory over Bangladesh to continue their perfect start at the T20 World Cup. After Eoin Morgan’s side crushed West Indies in their opening match with a blistering display of bowling which saw them all out for 55, England were again impressive as they restricted Bangladesh to 124.

Moeen Ali removed Bangladesh’s openers with back-to-back deliveries, while Liam Livingstone took out the experienced pair of Mushfiqur Rahim and captain Mahmudullah just as they were beginning to build momentum. Chris Woakes yielded just 12 runs before Tymal Mills took consecutive wickets at the end of the innings to take his total to three.

Given a target of 125, Jason Roy smashed 61 runs from 38 balls alongside Jos Buttler (18) and Dawid Malan (28 not out) to secure a comfortable victory that sees England top Group 1 ahead of Saturday’s clash against Australia. Follow all the reaction and latest updates from the T20 World Cup below.

England vs Bangladesh: T20 World Cup

England are taking on Bangladesh in the second match of their Super 12 campaign at the T20 World Cup. Eoin Morgan’s side crushed West Indies with a blistering display of bowling which saw them all out for 55, before wrapping up victory in only 8.2 overs to get off to the perfect start in Dubai on Sunday, and are now in pole position in group 2.

They will have to be wary of hot conditions this time at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, in what is their only group game scheduled to be played during the daytime heat. But Bangladesh do not arrive in great form, having toiled in qualifying with a defeat by Scotland, and then losing their Super 12 opener to Sri Lanka.
