    "What's excellent about World Cups is it shows the diversity of communities across Australia and New Zealand and makes you realise just how many communities there are across the world."

  3. Captain's reactionpublished at 11:23 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2015

    Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza: "As I said before, the first match in the World Cup is very important, and we set the tone.

    "We had a reasonable start today though later on it got a bit close, but Shakib and Mushfiqur Rahim were brilliant.

    "This kind of match always has pressure, but I am very happy as the boys adapted very well."

    "We've seen great crowds so far for this tournament. Crowds of more than 10,000 both here today and in Hamilton when South Africa played Zimbabwe. I hope that intensity continues as it makes for a great atmosphere."

  5. Captain's reactionpublished at 11:12 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2015

    Afghanistan captain Mohammad Nabi: "We bowled very well in the first 35 overs, especially the fast bowlers who took early wickets.

    "Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim played very well in the middle and took the score to [beyond] 260. Three wickets down for three runs was not a good start on the batting side, but in the middle Nawroz and Samiullah took the game on.

    "It is not a good start in the World Cup but hopefully we will play better in the next game."

    Admittedly it's early days, but Afghanistan have come out of that game with a better net run rate than England or Scotland.

  7. Player reactionpublished at 11:03 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2015

    Man of the match, Bangladesh wicketkeeper and batsman Mushfiqur Rahim: "We were under the pressure as the favourites and expected to win the game.

    "But in a World Cup anyone can win any game. Hopefully we will carry on that momentum into the next game.

    "We need to push our paddle - it will not be easy against Australia at the Gabba, but we will hopefully give our best shot against them."

    "Bangladesh will be delighted with their victory in front of this 'home' crowd. They looked very shaky at the start when they were four wickets down, but they built an excellent partnership between Shakib and Mushfiqur Rahim. Since that, they looked in charge to take this game home.

    "They could cause an upset against an England side that are hit and miss. The group is strong with Australia and New Zealand, but they will be looking at touching up England and Scotland. Sneak a couple of wins and they will think they can do well in this group."

  10. Victory for Bangladeshpublished at 10:58 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2015

    A bit of a tame end to what was, at times, a very watchable and entertaining game. On paper, it's a pretty comprehensive win for Bangladesh, but Afghanistan asked questions of them at times and with a bit more discipline and experience, they could have been chasing a lot less. Stay with us, we'll have more reaction.

  11. Bangladesh win by 105 runspublished at 10:52 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2015

    It's all over as confusion breaks out between the last Afghanistan pair. Aftab hits one to point. There's a diving stop in the field. They say yes, they say no, they almost meet in the middle and all the while the throw comes in and Aftab is run out and that's the game. Bangladesh win by 105 runs.

    "This is turning into a pretty resounding victory for Bangladesh, and a pretty resounding defeat for Afghanistan. But there has been a lot for the losing side to be happy about, particularly the bowling in the first half of the Bangladesh innings."

    One fast bowler makes way for another as Shapoor Zadran comes in at number 11 for Afghanistan. He's been padded up a while though in the changing room as the television cameras have shown.

    "Shakib Al Hasan has scored a fifty and taken two wickets in a match 15 times now in 142 ODIs. This is 10.42% of his matches. He is the only player to have done this in more than 10% of his matches (minimum 50 ODIs)."

    Hamid Hassan - who dazzled us earlier with his colourful headband - takes a swing at a fullish ball outside off from Taskin, but only manages to pick out point. Not long to go now.

    "That really was the bowler's wicket. Shakib tempted his man, gave him the bait and Mirwais Ashraf could not resist it."

  18. WICKETpublished at 10:42 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2015

    Buoyed by his efforts two balls earlier, Mirwais tries to repeat his shot, but some canny bowling from Shakib holds the pace back a bit. The ball skews towards long-off and Sabbir takes the catch on the rope.

  19. Six for Mirwaispublished at 10:41 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2015

    Mirwais despatches one over the ropes off Shakib for a beautiful maximum over deep square leg.
