Till the filling of the report, the English batsmen have scored 94 runs for six after the over-22 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Earlier in the day, the match started at 9:30am Bangladesh time after English captain EJG Morgan chose to field first after wining the toss.
Australia scored 342 runs for nine in 50-over while Aaron Finch bagged the first century in the World Cup 2015. He, however, went back to the pavilion scoring 135 runs with 12 boundaries and three sixes.
