3:41pm Clinical performance with the ball from England after they were asked to do so at the toss. The start with the bat was rapid from Bangladesh. Tamim was off in a jiffy. But Woakes and Wood stalled that before the spinners did their thing against the middle order. In the end, the pacers picked up five wickets while the spinners picked up the other five.

That Bangladesh managed to just cross 200 was largely due to Shanto's knock. He was calm and fluent in his maiden ODI half-century before pulling a short ball to midwicket. Mahmudullah looked confident against spin and was out in a tame leg-side dismissal. Knowing England's batting might, this should be easy for them. But Bangladesh have three spinners to rely on and could make life tough on a track that is aiding a lot of turn. Back soon with the reply.
