— England skipper Jos Buttler after his team made 364-9 to defeat Bangladesh.
“Just hungry, hungry to play and to do well, hungry to score runs and win games of cricket. I’ve wanted to be part of this team for so long.”
— England’s Dawid Malan after hitting 140 in his team’s 137-run win.
“It was colder weather than the last game, you could even see the snow.”

“He has the quality and whenever it’s his day, he can do anything against the opposition, so we are expecting and we are hopeful that he delivers in tomorrow’s game.”
