Bairstow’s four off Mohammad Saifuddin saw England’s openers to a fifty partnership in 47 balls. @AFP
Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow denied Bangladesh an early breakthrough as England made a brisk start after being sent in to bat in a World Cup match in Cardiff on Saturday. @AFP
Both openers have come unstuck against spin during this tournament — a 104-run win for England over South Africa and an unexpected 14-run defeat by Pakistan. So it was no surprise when Bangladesh opened the bowling with left-arm spinner Shakib Al Hasan. @AFP

Roy got the innings going with a straight-driven four in the second over off Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza and gave the same treatment to Shakib. @AFP
Bairstow fell soon after completing a 48-ball fifty, a leading edge off Mashrafe well caught by Mehidy in the covers to give the Bangladesh skipper his first wicket of this World Cup. @AFP
Jason Roy made the highest individual score of the World Cup so far as his dynamic century laid a platforim for England’s big total agaisnt Bangladesh. Roy carried on to surpass this tournament’s previous highest score, Rohit Sharma’s 122 not against South Africa at Southampton on Wednesday. The England opener scored 153, hitting 14 fours and 5 sixes. @AFP
Roy completed his century in bizarre fashion when, running to the non-striker’s end as he completed what should have been a single to take him to 97, Mohammad Mithun at deep square leg misfielded and the ball went for four. The Surrey batsman collided with umpire Joel Wilson and knocked him to the ground but neither he nor the Trinidad official were unhurt. @AFP
He was finally caught by Mashrafe off the bowling of Mehidy Hasan Miraz for 153, holing out after hitting three sixes in a row off the bowler. @AFP
Jos Buttler, who survived an lbw review first ball, then followed up with a dashing 64 featuring four sixes — including a huge straight hit off Mossadek Hossain that sailed into the River Taff. @AFP
Their chase got off to a bad start when fast bowler Jofra Archer (3-29) dismissed Soumya Sarkar for two with a ball that clipped the top of the left-hander’s off stump. Archer, whose 10 wicketless overs against Pakistan cost 79 runs, was far more threatening on Saturday as he reached speeds of 95 miles (153 kilometres) per hour. @AFP
Shakib, who had scored two half centuries in the firstr two games of World Cup 2019, anchored the innings. The left-hander went on to score a hundred. @AFP
Shakib put on 106 with Mushifqur Rahim (44), a partnership that ended when Roy, who dropped a straightforward chance against Pakistan, held a good catch at point. @AFP
Mohammad Mithun was the next man to get out as he fell for a duck after edging leg-spinner Adil Rashid to wicket-keeper Jonny Bairstow.The Test gloveman was behind the stumps after Jos Buttler suffered a hip injury during a typically dashing 64. @AFP
Shakib, who had hit fifties in a win over South Africa and a loss to New Zealand this World Cup, was eventually yorked by Ben Stokes to leave Bangladesh on the brink of defeat. Pace bowling all-rounder Stokes followed up to finish with figures of 3-23. @AFP
