At last after long time Bangladesh tested their first victory over England. They came out with a superb spirited performance to beat England by narrow margin of 5 runs to seal historic win and level the three match ODI series by 1-1 with one to play on Monday at Brimingham.
In an extraordinary game of cricket, with 10 needing of lat over, Ian Bell came out at number eleven with broken foot to guide England to victory alongwith J.Trott. However when Jonathan Trott edged third ball of final over bowled by S.Islam to wicketkeeper J.Islam, the game was won by Bangladesh to send scenes of wild celebration to the world.
Before getting out J.Trott batted brilliantly to score 94 runs, he involved himself in two crucial partnerships when it seems everything is lost for England. He first put on 43 runs for the 8th wicket with Stuar Broad (21 runs off 25 balls) and then put on 18 runs for the 9th wicket with James Anderson.
England requiring 23 runs from last two overs, in which J.Trott who scored 13 runs off first five balls bowled by M.Mortaza but James Anderson could only pop the final delivery back to the bowler. At that moment Bangaldesh thought that they have already won the game and started to celebrate ripping up the stumps in celebration, but Bell hobbled down the steps with Morgan as his runner and hoped that Trott could get the 10 needed from final over.
However spirited Bangladesh has other ideas. This was the win which came after 24 continuous loss. Eearlier Bangladesh after put into bat manage just 236 runs on the board despite having in a good position to reach well over 275 runs.
Imrul Kayes (76 runs off 111 balls) and J.Islam (40 runs off 53 balls) were noticeable contributor for Bangladesh.
In reply England got off to flying start with A.Strauss (33 runs of 36 balls) and C.Kieswetter (20 runs off 17 balls) put 49 runs for the first wicket in just 47 balls. However once these two dismissed by Rubel Hossain the game swung in favor of Bangaldesh with heap of wickets falling in quick succession.
With the score reading 115/5 in the 26th over, England always going to struggle to chase down 237 runs for victory with one of their main batsman I.Bell got injured furing Bagladesh inning.
M.Mortaza was declared Man of the Match for his allround performance with bat and ball.
