Jason Roy emerged as a star as he played a knock of 152 runs leading England to beat Bangladesh by 106 runs.
With this win, England now has two wins from three matches whereas Bangladesh has two of the three matches.
Bangladesh got off to a bad start as Jofra Archer dismissed their in-form opener Soumya Sarkar (2) pretty early. Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan steadied the innings for Bangladesh as they put up a 55-run stand.
However, soon England bowler Mark Wood sent Tamim (19) back to the pavilion reducing Bangladesh to 65 for two.
Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim then put up a 106-run stand. Bangla tigers lost both Rahim (44) and Mohammad Mithun (0) in quick succession, as the team required 217 runs more for the win.
Shakib brought up his century off just 95 balls in the 33rd over, becoming the only second Bangladesh batsman to score a century in the World Cup.
England managed to stop Bangladesh team at 280, 106 runs short of the target.
Earlier, Roy’s knock of runs off 153 runs from just 121 balls propelled England to a score of 386 runs for the loss of six wickets in the allotted fifty overs after being put to bat.
The match also witnessed a comical scene as Jason Roy knocked down the umpire Joel Wilson as he scored a ton.
