3:21 PM

England won by 8 wickets

Score ;

England308/2 (47.2 ov)
Bangladesh 305/6 (50 ov)
England won by 8 wkts

Morgan: When a guy bats like that it becomes a lot easy. Having an in-form Hales is very important. He (Root) really has scored a lot of runs and he continues to do that. He has been working a lot on his power hitting and tonight it paid off. I want to lead from the front in this tournament. The guys are hungry to do well. We have got ourselves in good position after this one. Two more games to go. Probably we would have liked to take more wickets. An in batsman can really be dangerous. To continue to take wickets is going to be very important. No absolutely not, we went with the right decision in the morning considering one side of the boundary was so short and the ball was not turning (on his decision to not pick Adil Rashid today). Chris (Woakes) is the biggest concern right now. At the moment it does not feel right. We will assess everything in the morning after the scan. It will be a great game. World cup final (Australia vs New Zealand tomorrow) rematch so yeah will be watching.

Mortaza: I think 305 was a little bit short. We could not get wickets in the middle overs. Root batted pretty well and took the game away from us. Initially the wicket (was referring to the pitch) can swing and the batsmen can take time but at the end with 6-7 wickets in hands we could been a lot better. It was the first match so we thought we could go with 8 batsmen but we will have to think about it (the team combination). The main bowlers have to bowl better and we have to think about extra bowlers as well. The third umpire knows better than us. We have not seen it yet (replays perhaps), the umpire's decision is final.

-- Tamim has now scored five hundreds in his 28 innings post the 2015 WC. In the 140 innings till then, he had just four. 128 by him today is the highest for BAN in CT, highest for BAN in Eng and highest against ENG

-- 166 run stand b/w Tamim & Rahim is:

+ Highest third wicket stand in CT

+ Highest for BAN for any wicket outside Asia

+ Highest third wicket stand at the Oval

-- 305/6 is the highest for BAN against a top eight side in ODIs outside Asia. It is also their highest against ENG and highest in England

-- Third time Jake Ball conceded over 80 in 11 ODIs - joint most for an ENG bowler along with James Anderson (in 194 ODIs). In all ODIs, only Malinga has conceded 80+ on more instances - seven

Joe Root - Man of the Match: "It (the performance by England) is going to get better. Lot of confidence in the dressing room. We back each other's abilities and it rubs on everyone. It's nice to have Buttler and Stokes coming after you. It's about making sure that we have plenty of wickets at the back end. One of the top four/five has to get a 70 or a 100 not out. Sure there will be different scenarios in the tournament but we have to give it our best. Good to start on this note. Ankle is alright, it's more of a calf issue."

-- Joe Root became the third ENG player to hit ten ODI hundreds after Trescothick (12) and Morgan (10). His 84 innings to the landmark is the fourth fewest by any after de Kock, Amla and Kohli. 133* by him is the highest score and highest individual score for ENG in CT

-- 306 is the highest ever successful chase in CT going past 294 chased down by SL vs ENG at the same venue in 2013

-- ENG now have 25 300+ scores since the start of 2015 - the most for a team in a three-year stretch. India had 23 such scores between 2007 and 2009

Every tournament needs a blockbuster start. One-day cricket is going through that phase where it needs more competitive games. Today was a high-scoring one but it never looked like a close game. The only positive from a tournament's perspective was that the hosts came on top. There was a full house and that must be a relief. Next up will be Australia and New Zealand that must get us going and give us the real feel of the 'battle of champions' as this tournament has been advertised so far. On that note and with a promise to see you nice and early tomorrow, this is Abhishek Chaudhary signing off with Pradeep, Raju Peethala, Pratyush Sinha and Naga. Bye

Bangladesh vs England

England

England do have injury concerns over Chris Woakes, Ben Stokes and Moeen Ali, all of whom sat out the final ODI against South Africa mainly as a precaution, but Morgan expects all three to be fit to play. Jason Roy's lack of runs at the top of the order in recent times is a concern but he is likely, despite the claims of Jonny Bairstow, to remain in the side for now as England look to him to rediscover his destructive best. The bowling attack will be led by Woakes, Mark Wood, fresh from his last over heroics at the Ageas Bowl, and Liam Plunkett with Adil Rashid, who has taken ten wickets in three ODIs against Bangladesh, with Ali providing the spin.

Bangladesh

Bangladesh's seam attack has plenty of potential to cause England some problems with the swing of Mortaza, the left-arm angle of Mustafizur Rahman and the pace of Rubel Hossain being the likely three starters - although Taskin Ahmed could also be considered - which will pose a variety of different challenges to the batsmen. Bangladesh's spin will come from Shakib Al Hasan's left-armers and Mehedi Hasan's off-spin, both of whom tormented England on their tour last year. Tamin Iqbal, who is averaging over 50 in ODI cricket over the past two years, and Soumya Sarkar at the top of have an important role to play in getting the Bangladeshi's off to a flier with the bat and provide a platform for the strong middle order of Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib, Mahmudullah and Mosaddek Hossain.

Teams:

Bangladesh (From): Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Sabbir Rahman, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Mahmudullah, Mosaddek Hossain Saikat, Mashrafe Mortaza(c), Mehedi Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Imrul Kayes, Sunzamul Islam, Shafiul Islam, Rubel Hossain

England (From): Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan(c), Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler(w), Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid, Liam Plunkett, Mark Wood, David Willey, Jonny Bairstow, Jake Ball, Sam Billings

IPL Final: Mumbai won by 1 run

Mumbai beat Pune for just the one time this season, but did when it mattered the most, shoving their neighbours to second in priority to brutally mimic real life. People seem to be talking about this Wannacry ransomware, but trust me, IPL is the one surrendering us into a pay-off, year after year, riding our interest wave like a hobby horse to complete a cycle of ten glorious years. A reshuffle beckons next season, a new-look tournament awaits us and we look forward to that. That will be it from IPL 2017. Hope you liked what we typed. For now, this is your commentator Pratyush Sinha taking leave on behalf of his colleagues: Kumar Abhisekh Das, Siva, Sagar Chawla, Ramakrishnan, Pradeep and rest of the team. Live, laugh, love, see you on the other side, ta-ta!

Score:

Rising Pune Supergiant 128/6 (20 ov)

Mumbai Indians 129/8 (20 ov)

Congratulations to Krunal Pandya on winning the Man of the Match award!

Ireland have won the toss and have opted to field

Preview:

The ICC Champions Trophy 2017 is around the corner, giving Bangladesh a chance to sell an idea they well and truly believe in - that they belong with the big boys. Recent evidence in big tournaments (2015 World Cup and T20 WC 2016) renders little credence to that, considering they faltered exactly where they should've made a compelling case for what they believed was their true standing.

But here's another shot. Before they make their way to England, they stop over in Ireland for a tri-series involving them, the hosts and New Zealand - a warm-up exercise in similarly cold climes of Dublin.

Bangladesh begin the tri-series against Ireland, who return home from a historic two-match ODI series in England. A debut at Lord's will undoubtedly go down as a massive moment in their cricketing history, but results against a top side is something they will continue to yearn for. Over the two games against England, their performance graph saw an upward spike, but not substantial enough to topple Eoin Morgan's side. Wins against Bangladesh and/or New Zealand could be satisfactory takeaway for the home side.

The last time Ireland and Bangladesh faced each other was in the 2011 World Cup, when the latter defended a sub-par score of 205. A winning start and a successful series could push the current World No. 7 to a spot higher ahead of the Champions Trophy next month.

When: Ireland vs Bangladesh,

1st ODI, May 12, 2017,

3:15 PM IST, 10:45 PM Local time

Where: The Village, Dublin

What to expect: Might not be the best starts to the tri-series as high chances of showers in Dublin are anticipated.

Team news:

Ireland

India-born Simi Singh has been included in the squad based on his impressive numbers for the A side. The all-rounder replaced Andrew MacBrine and could get games.

Squad: William Porterfield (c), Andrew Balbirnie, Peter Chase, George Dockrell, Ed Joyce, Simi Singh, Barry McCarthy, Tim Murtagh, Kevin O'Brien, Niall O'Brien (wk), Paul Stirling, Stuart Thompson, Gary Wilson, Craig Young

Bangladesh

Mashrafe Mortaza brings in a full-strength squad, with Shakib Al Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman arriving in time from the IPL.

Squad: Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Imrul Kayes, Mustafizur Rahman, Shakib Al Hasan, Sabbir Rahman, Mahmudullah, Mosaddek Hossain Saikat, Mashrafe Mortaza (c), Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Rubel Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Subashis Roy, Sunzamul Islam, Nurul Hasan, Mehedi Hasan, Nasir Hossain, Shafiul Islam

Delhi won by 2 wickets

 This young man shined bright like a diamond tonight

Shreyas Iyer, Man of the Match: I would have been more happy if I had finished off the game. Nonetheless, a great knock. I wasn't thinking about my 100. I just wanted to get my team through. We had lost early wickets, I thought I'll keep knocking singles and doubles. It worked out. 100 doesn't really matter. Winning the match for the team is more important. At the start of the innings, I was just trying to time the ball. I was pushing them in the gap and the outfield was really quick. Getting boundaries more than sixes is an achievement too. Two more matches left, hopefully I will see to it that I get two more man of the matches.
