Comfortable victory for England.
After winning the toss and inviting the hosts to bat,
they did not start well conceding 63 runs in the first 9 overs. But they came back well and put the brakes on Bangladesh, especially Swann and Collingwood, who conceded just 71 runs in 17 overs amongst themselves with 3 wickets. The Bangladesh tried to fight back with a late middle order partnership but werwe eventually bowled out for 228 with 26 balls to spare.
Tamim Iqbal played a fabulous knock of 125
Swann was the pick of the bowlers with 3/32.
In reply, the English openers started off well adding 73 for the opening wicket,
but a little bit of a stutter caused some nervousness but Morgan and Collingwood added a brilliant 88 for the fourth wicket, sealing any hopes of a Bangladeshi victory.
Collingwood played a typical Collingwood innings, 75 unbeaten of a 100 balls,
picking up singles and twos and hitting the occasional boundary,
keeping the scoreboard ticking. The Bangladeshi spinners tried to make use of the slow track, but a Collingwood master-class came in their way.
Naeem Islam was the best bowler, picking up 3/49 in 10 overs.
TAMIM IQBAL GETS -THE MAN-OF-THE-MATCH.
