DHARAMSALA, India, Oct 10, (AP): Dawid Malan’s century set up England's first win at the Cricket World Cup with a 137-run victory over Bangladesh on Tuesday. Malan scored 140 off 107 balls - his fifth ODI hundred - as England reached 364-9 at Dharamsala to bounce back from being humiliated by New Zealand in the tournament opener. Left-arm pacer Reece Topley returned figures of 4-43 as England bowled out Bangladesh for 227 in 48.2 overs.

It was England’s fourth biggest win by runs in World Cup history. Put into bat, England made a great start as Malan and Jonny Bairstow (52) shared 115 runs for the first wicket. Root also scored quickly, reaching 50 off 44 balls. Overall, he hit 82 off 68 balls, including eight fours and a six, as he continues to rediscover his form.

England lost its way a bit in the last phase of the innings. After Malan’s dismissal, it went from 296-2 to 307-5 , losing Root and Jos Buttler (20). Liam Livingstone, who has a good IPL record at this ground, was bowled for a golden duck. Harry Brook (20) guided the score past 350 along with the lower middle-order.
Topley then destroyed Bangladesh’s chase with the new ball. He sent back Tanzid Hasan for one, and then Najmul Hossain Shanto was out caught for a golden duck, in the second over.

Shakib Al Hasan bowled Bairstow with a beautiful delivery, but it brought no respite for the Tigers. Malan and Joe Root added 151 runs for the second wicket.
Malan hit 16 fours and five sixes overall, and reached his hundred off 91 balls. After the landmark, he cut loose to score 40 off only 16 balls, hitting four fours and three sixes.
"It was fantastic to put in a performance like this and win a game (for the team). Hopefully my form will continue ahead," Malan said. "With Root at three, it allows us to play freely. I am desperate to do well in this format and prove a point.”

Four overs later, Topley bowled Shakib for one. Chris Woakes had Mehidy Hasan Miraz caught behind for eight as Bangladesh struggled at 49-4 in 8.3 overs.
The game was effectively already over, even as Litton Das top scored with 76 to help stabilize the innings. He put on 72 runs with Mushfiqur Rahim, the only time when Bangladesh looked comfortable.
Rahim scored 51 runs, and there weren’t any lower-order heroics to jeopardize England’s win.
England and Bangladesh, which beat Afghanistan in their opener, both have two points after two games.

Meanwhile,the Pakistan Cricket Board has expressed "extreme disappointment” about a delay in the issuing of Indian visas to its country’s journalists and fans for the World Cup.
The chairman of the PCB management committee, Zaka Ashraf, met with Pakistan foreign secretary Syrus Sajjad Qazi on Monday and asked him to take up the matter with India’s home ministry through Pakistan's high commission in New Delhi.

'The PCB is extremely disappointed to see that journalists from Pakistan and fans are still facing uncertainty about obtaining an Indian visa,” it said in a statement.
The PCB said it has already reminded the ICC and the Board of Control for Cricket in India of "their respective obligations and terms and conditions stipulated in the host agreement to guarantee visas for fans and journalists of participating teams.”

The Pakistan players received a warm reception in Hyderabad and wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan said it felt at the airport as if the team had landed in Karachi or Lahore after winning a World Cup.
The PCB, however, said it has also asked its government "to evaluate player security in India.” "He (Ashraf) emphasised that the well being and safety of the Pakistan squad was of paramount importance,” the board said in the statement.

It is unclear how many Pakistan fans will be issued visas ahead of the marquee game against India to be played at the 134,000-capacity Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday.
Pakistani Zainab Abbas went to India as an ICC television presenter before flying home on Monday, five days into the six-week long tournament.
An ICC spokesperson said Abbas "has not been deported (but) she has left for personal reasons.”
Pakistan and India have not met in a test match since 2007 but has played against one another regularly in other formats.
Political tensions between the two countries meant India played their recent Asia Cup games in Sri Lanka after refusing to travel to Pakistan for the tournament.
