Alex Hales stands and looks around the field, weighing up the scoring options available to him. He might give the ball a whack, but he also likes to take a little bit of time to play himself in - like Chris Gayle would do, for example. He and Ian Bell knock the ball into the gaps for ones and twos to keep the scoreboard ticking over.

"The best arm ball that any spinner can bowl is the one they try to spin, but it doesn't actually spin. If they don't know what is going to happen, how will the batsman know?"

Full scorecard

The Adelaide sun is disappearing behind the stands, leaving behind the last few remaining strands of natural light. The floodlights are being fired up as we speak. There's four men close to the bat for Bangladesh - the keeper, a slip, leg-slip and short cover - and the pressure seems to have gone up a notch. Alex Hales looks unflustered though, standing tall in his crease and bringing up England's 50 with a punch down the ground for one.

Zed: Stephan Shemilt is correct - it's very bizarre AC/DC playing Run To The Hills when it's actually an Iron Maiden song.

Former Australia coach on BBC Test Match Special

"Bangladesh need to bowl their best bowlers at the critical times of the innings. The two left-arm orthodox bowlers are trying to keep the pressure on - they keep the stumps in play a lot more than the leg-spinner or the off-spinner."

The round-arm slow left-armer Shakib goes round the wicket to the right-handed Ian Bell. It's trial by spin now. Ian Bell takes a single and Alex Hales pats back two dots, giving himself room to play the turning ball by stepping back into his crease.

Neil Virani: That run out says everything about England's approach to this World Cup. Muddled thinking.

England's new batsman, Alex Hales, last played on 11 February, but the month-long break doesn't seem to affect him as he steps back in his crease and eases the first delivery he faces for four.

Former Australia coach on BBC Test Match Special

"A bad mistake by both batsmen there. Ian Bell was ball watching, with his back to his partner and Moeen Ali did not call loud enough. He was two thirds of the way down the pitch before Bell sent him back, he was not able to hit the skids and turn around in time."

Moeen, what are you doing? It was all going well, then two balls into the first over sent down by a spinner, the left-hander pushes the ball to wide mid-on, sets off to run, dillies, dallies and is run out while he makes up his mind. Ian Bell just looks at him in disbelief. Rush of blood.

Bangladesh skipper Mortaza is cricket's Darren Anderton. He's suffered a terrible time with injuries down the years and his knees are all bandaged up in this tournament. I've seen old men move out of an armchair quicker than he was moving about in the field during the last game against Scotland.

Ian Bell is playing nice and orthodox - hitting three classy boundaries through the off side. Might be time for the skipper to put himself out to graze down at third man.

Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

"When Jimmy Anderson bowled in the first three overs, the ball zipped through, it moved and he got a couple of wickets. These lads have bowled with energy but I haven't seen the ball do anything."

Stephan Shemilt

"The shadows have crept almost all the way across the Adelaide Oval, but it's nowhere dark enough for the floodlights to take full effect. Planes regularly fly overhead, appearing from behind the scoreboard and disappearing past the Sir Donald Bradman Pavilion. On the speakers, the DJ plays AC/DC's Run To The Hills. How bizarre."

Heading into this game, Moeen Ali's one-day international batting strike-rate was 103. Chris Gayle's is 85...

Ian Bell is the aggressor in Rubel's latest over though, rolling his hands over a short ball and pulling it to the boundary. Nice start this. It's all going too well.

Ian Bell takes a leaf out of the book of Kumar Sangakkara and lofts the medium-fast bowler over extra cover for four. It's not a bad book to be copying from. Three hundreds in a row will suit England nicely now. Playing shadow shots between deliveries, the unflustered-looking Bell then pats back five dots. Slow and steady wins the race...

Mason: England's best ODI opener and explosive batsman in at 3!! Move Ali down to 3 and get Hales opening!!!

On your way to work? Got to your desk early? Lucky enough to have Monday off? Either way, I'm sure you'll be glued to the action for the next couple of hours. In case you didn't know already, Alex Hales is next man in after he replaced Gary Ballance in the team.

He's almost called upon when Ian Bell edges through gully and then puffs out his cheeks with the look of a man who knows he's dodged a bullet. Another four for Moeen, this time fortuitously through fine leg.

Peter B: Well done Bangladesh. I fear they may have enough runs on the board... England could easily implode.

Eoin Morgan sits and gulps water on the sidelines while Joe Root messes with the grip on his bat handle. One calm, one nervous? Who knows?

Ian Bell is happy to drop anchor early on, playing back the straight up-and-down military medium of Mortaza. Seven balls to get off the mark with a single... but that's OK providing he sticks there for a decent length of time and scores big.
