Bangladesh won by four wickets after bowling out England for 117, with Mehidy Hasan Miraz taking four for 12 in four overs
But even during a spirited performance in the field, which kept England in with a chance of defending a bantamweight score of 117 until the 19over, there were signs of the same issues that undermined their display with the bat. Although two batters have been forced from the squad through injury neither was replaced, leaving it and the team wildly bowler-heavy.
Career-best bowling figures for Mehidy Hasan Miraz and another excellent innings from Najmul Hossain Shanto, who added an unbeaten 46 to the three half-centuries he has scored in five games against England over the last fortnight, powered Bangladesh to victory.Photograph: Adnan Abidi/Reuters
