In the first ODI of the three-match cricket series against England, Bangladesh struggled to build momentum and were eventually all out for 209 runs, with Najmul Hosssian Shanto being the only player to score a half-century for the hosts in Mirpur.
Despite winning the toss and opting to bat first, Bangladesh got off to a shaky start as their opening partnership between Tamim Iqbal and Litton Das produced just 33 runs before Litton was dismissed for 7. Tamim was unable to maintain a steady pace and also fell shortly after.
The pace bowling duo of Mark Wood and Chris Woakes proved to be formidable for the Bangladesh openers.
Later, the responsibility of steering Bangladesh to a competitive total fell on Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan. However, both players were dismissed in quick succession, with Mushfiqur only managing to score 17 runs off 33 balls.
Mushfiqur's dismissal came as he attempted a slog sweep off a well-tossed-up delivery from Adil Rashid, only to be caught out easily by Mark Wood at deep mid-region.
Shakib Al Hasan was also dismissed in a similar fashion, but he failed to make contact with the ball during his attempted slog sweep, resulting in his stumps being dismantled by Moeen Ali.
Najmul Hossain Shanto provided some stability for Bangladesh, scoring his first ODI half-century by the 31st over.

However, Shanto was unable to convert it into a century and fell short at 58 runs. All-rounder Mahmudullah Riyad was the second-highest scorer for Bangladesh with 31 runs off 48 balls, although he never looked comfortable at the crease.
Mark Wood was the standout performer for England, taking two wickets for 35 runs in eight overs, while Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, and Adil Rashid also claimed two wickets each.
