 B'desh 197-4 (40 ovs) vs Eng | Scorecard

Broad bowls a tidy over, conceding just five runs despite both batsmen looking for the big hits in the Powerplay.

No Bangladesh batsman has scored a century in the World Cup and Mahmudullah looks good to achieve the feat. He is batting well on 84 and needs to be at the wicket for another 10 overs or so and keep his team on course for a total in excess of 250.

Another good over from Jordan in the Powerplay conceding just four, which mean just nine have come from the last two.

Woakes to bowl the final over of Powerplay as England decide to hold back Broad for the death overs.

He starts with one on the pads which Mahmudullah flicks behind square on the leg side for a four to take his score to 90. Woakes keeping it a bit too straight as Mahmudullah flicks the next ball to fine leg for one and Rahim takes two from the next ball.

Rahim then lofts it to midwicket for another couple to race to his fifty, from 49 balls.

Bangladesh are looking comfortable on 197 for five in 40 overs, having scored 37 runs from the five overs of Powerplay.

Mahmudullah is batting on 91 and Rahim has stroked a fluent 53 with the duo involved in a brisk stand of 98 runs from 109 balls for the fifth wicket.
