Moeen Ali's century (128 Runs in 107 Balls with 4x12 and 6x5)led England to a 119-run victory over Scotland and a first victory of the World Cup.
Moeen Ali shared 172 Runs for the first wicket with the stuttering Ian Bell, who contributed 54 Runs( in 85 Balls with 4x2)
But, when they were parted, England could only manage 131 runs in the final 20 overs of their 303-8.
The opening stand of 172 by Moeen Ali and Ian Bell is England's highest ever World Cup opening stand. England's record opening partnership in all ODIs is 200, set by Marcus Trescothick and Vikram Solanki against South Africa in 2003. That is some way short of the all-time World Cup opening stand of 282, shared between Sri Lankan duo Upul Tharanga and Tillakaratne Dilshan in a Group A game in Pallekele in 2011.
This is England's largest victory margin by runs in a WC match since they beat East Africa by 196 runs at Birmingham in 1975.
