Mahmudullah smacks friendly full-toss down mid-wicket’s throat

England had the better of the opening exchanges in the 6th official warm-up game of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, with Reece Topley making the new ball talk to claim a couple of Bangladeshi wickets. Adil Rashid then spun a web to make dents in the middle-order even as Mehidy Hasan once again proved his mettle with the bat.

England struck at regular intervals to reduce the Asian Tigers to 153/5 before rain intervened to cause an hour-long pause.
