The teams move on to Chittagong for a dead rubber on Monday, teenage spin sensation Rehan Ahmed might get a chance to turn his arm over then, that’s something to look forward to, isn’t it?
That was a frustrating attempt at a chase from Bangladesh, they were blown away by Sam Curran at the top but they never really looked like they believed they could chase down England’s target. The home side slowed to a crawl in the middle overs, albeit they were squeezed by England’s spin trio of Jacks, Moeen and Rashid.
For England there were other positives too, Saqib Mahmood got some miles into the legs on his return after a year out with a stress fracture of the back and Jason Roy reminded everyone of his talents at the top of the order with a fine century. Roy will be desperate to nail down that opening slot in the ODI World Cup later in the year and today’s confident knock will do his chances no harm at all.
That’s it from us today, thanks go to Taha for the early stint and to you for your correspondence. Have a happy Friday, Goodbye.
