England hammer Bangladesh at U19 World Cup

England have moved to the top of their group at the under-19 Cricket World Cup in New Zealand after thumping Bangladesh by seven wickets.

The victory in Queenstown, with more than 20 overs to spare, lifts the English to two-from-two and leaves them highly likely to qualify from group C.

Seamer Ethan Bamber (3-19) and spinner Euan Woods (3-26) did the damage as Bangladesh were dismissed for 175 in the 50th over.

After stumbling to 49-3, England cruised home courtesy of an unbeaten 102 from Captain Harry Brook off 84 balls. Brook put on an unbroken stand of 128 with Woods (48no).

Canada beat Namibia by four wickets in the day's other match, between two winless sides, with allrounder Akash Gill taking 4-43 and scoring 52.

Namibia's third loss means the Canadians can still qualify among the top two teams for the quarter-final.

To do so, they will need to upset England by a decent margin in the final group match in Queenstown on Saturday.
