Captain Charlotte Edwards struck 60 off 50 balls as England Women launched their World Twenty20 campaign in style with a 36-run mauling of Bangladesh, in Bangalore. Edwards struck seven fours in her 11th fifty in T20 internationals - her first half-century in the format in 11 innings, since the unbeaten 75 made against South Africa at Northampton in September 2014.After England posted 153-7 Bangladesh fell well short despite posting their highest ever T20 score of 117-6 thanks to a new record fifth-wicket partnership of 64 between Salma Khatun and Nigar Sultana (35) - a stand broken by a neatly-executed Sarah Taylor stumping, made standing up to Anya Shrubsole (2-27).England went on the offensive after winning the toss; Tammy Beaumont (18 off 14) put on 34 in 4.1 overs with Edwards - lofting Salma for a glorious six over long on - before being bowled on the charge, looking to hit Jahanara Alam (3-32) across the line.Sarah Taylor (nine) struggled to find fluency despite an early scoop for two and was stumped by Sultana off Fahima Khatun as she attempted to force the pace.Two balls later Heather Knight drove a low catch back to Khadija Tul Kubra but from 71-3 Edwards pressed on to reach her fifty off 41 balls.The captain enjoyed a reprieve three runs later when the capped Salma shelled a routine caught and bowled chance and had another escape on 57 when Jahanara couldnt quite get across at extra cover.Nat Sciver (27 off 22), herself dropped at midwicket by Rumana off Salma on 26, couldnt make the most of the reprieve and picked out long on as she sought to go over the top.Danni Wyatt and Katherine Brunt kept up Scivers momentum after Edwards walked past a Rumana Ahmed delivery before falling to successive Jahanara deliveries at the end of the innings.Bangladesh, who had never scored more than 115 in a Twenty20, struggled from the first over of their chase - a wicket maiden in which Brunt (1-17) bowled Sharmin Akhter leg stump.Anya Shrubsole, currently No 1 in the T20 rankings, should also have struck in her opening over but Wyatt shelled a straightforward chance offered by Fargana Hoque before shed scored.The seamer swiftly made amends, forcing Ayasha Rahman to drive to Edwards at mid-off and 14-2 became 38-3 when Danielle Hazell (1-20), second to Shrubsole in the world standings, removed Fargana Hoque (19).Edwards impressive all-round display was capped when she slid, gathered and shied with success to run Rumana (19) out with a direct hit.England captain Charlotte Edwards: Its always nice to start with runs but the win is the most important thing. We got a good total and even though there is a bit we can do with our bowling and fielding it was a good all-round performance and run out. I will be talking about my run out and catch for some time!England coach Mark Robinson: I thought we were a bit safe on a really good wicket and lost our way and our intent in the middle overs - we dont want to be like that. We were also a bit lazy with our decision-making with the ball but maybe its good to leave a bit in the tank.Watch highlights of England Womens victory over Bangladesh Women at 6pm on Sky Sports 2.

NEW YORK -- The last time the Today show went to the summer Olympics, the break provided salve for its wounds. This years Rio trip offers an opportunity.The NBC morning show has found its footing after years in the wilderness, cutting into the advantage of ratings leader Good Morning America on ABC. Since viewers flock to the morning show of the Olympics rights holder, Today hopes to reintroduce itself to people who may have drifted away.The show has never been at a better place, so were excited for those additional eyeballs, said Noah Oppenheim, NBC News senior vice president in charge of the Today show .Today will import its cast to Brazil, and introduce new member Billy Bush, who is set to anchor the 9 a.m. hour after Natalie Morales departure. The exception is Savannah Guthrie, co-anchor with Matt Lauer of the first two hours, who is pregnant and decided to remain in New York because of concerns over the Zika virus. With Guthries political expertise, that could prove fortuitous in an election year.At the time of the London Olympics in 2012, Today had tumbled from first place in the ratings after its disastrous ouster of Ann Curry. It has remained No. 2 in viewership ever since.Oppenheim has sought to reorient the show toward news, adding some subtle changes that increase the sense of urgency. Lauer and Guthrie now anchor the shows first half hour alone and give the news headlines themselves, rather than passing them off to a separate newscaster. The anchors usually do big interviews together now, instead of separately.The `Today show at its best had always been the morning show that set the nations agenda, said Oppenheim, who took over at the beginning of last year. Its a news show at its heart, and what I wanted to do was make sure we lived up to that legacy.Seeking interviews that advance news stories is an important goal, too. Lauer was let on the plane when Donald Trump arrived in Cleveland for last months GOP convention, for example, and his sound bite of Melania Trump talking about writing her speech became valuable as the week went on.Billie Gold, research chief at the advertising firm Amplifi US, said she was a regular viewer of Today until she saw it was trying too hard to emulate the lighter touch of Good Morning America.ddddddddddddAt one point, I was turning it off, she said. I wanted the news and I felt like I wasnt getting the news. It was too much fluff. When Oppenheim came in, he made it more of a blend and they put the news back in.While the veteran Lauer seems more engaged, research shows that he hasnt recovered the popularity he enjoyed before many viewers seemed to blame the ugliness of the Curry incident on him. Lauers Q score was an impressive 23 in 2010 -- meaning 23 percent of people in a survey who knew Lauer considered him one of their favorites. By winter 2013, his score had tumbled to nine. Last winter, it was 11, according to Marketing Evaluations Inc., which makes the calculations.The whole debacle with Matt Lauer, I think its in the past now, Gold said.The Today show has cut the gap with GMA to an average of 177,000 viewers this year after being down by more than a half million in 2015, the Nielsen company said. Both shows are seen by between 4 and 5 million viewers each morning. This year, NBC has taken over the lead among viewers aged 25-to-54, a key demographic since advertising sales are based on that number.NBC isnt gaining viewers; in fact, its viewership is off 83,000 from 2015. But Good Morning America has been losing viewers at a much more rapid pace, Nielsen said.The real morning mover is CBS This Morning, which has gained more than 250,000 viewers since last year but still isnt seriously challenging the two leaders in ratings.History indicates that Today will dominate the ratings during the Olympics. The key will be keeping some of those new viewers when everyone gets home. GMA has an edge in older viewers, who tend to be more resistant to changing their habit, Gold said.It just makes it more incumbent upon us to make sure the product we put on in the morning is so compelling that people have to turn us on, Oppenheim said.---Follow David Bauder at twitter.com/dbauder.
