Jason Roy's century (153) and half-centuries from Jonny Bairstow (51) and Jos Buttler (64) helped them to a huge score of 386 for 6, and in reply, Bangladesh were bowled out for 280.

Joffra Archer and Ben Stokes took three wickets each, while Shakib Al Hasan top-scored for Bangladesh with 121.

Elsewhere, New Zealand maintained their 100 per cent start to the tournament, easing to a seven-wicket victory over Afghanistan at Taunton.

James Neesham (5-31) and Lockie Ferguson (4-37) tore through the top and middle order as Afghanistan were bowled out for 172 in 41.1 overs.
