Bangladesh stunned the English side in the second ODI of the three match series that was played at Bristol by five runs. This meant that the series is now tied at one game apiece and will see the winner take it all in the third and the final ODI at Birmingham.
Bangladesh batted first after England captain Andrew Strauss had won the toss and decided to put them in. Tamim Iqbal failed once again, despite a decent start, as he edged a delivery from Ajmal Shahzad to the wicket-keeper. Junnaid Siddique joined Imrul Kayes and the pair were involved in a 46-run stand for the second wicket before Siddique departed – given wrongly out caught behind. 
It was the third wicket partnership between Imrul Kayes and Jahurul Islam that brought the Bangladeshis back into the game as the pair added 83 for the third wicket. Kayes looked to have finally emerged from the shadows of his more talented opening bat, Iqbal and smashed a 76, while Islam made 40.
Bangladesh was 148/2 in the 30th over, before a typical Bangladeshi collapse meant that the side managed to score only 88 in the last 20 overs. The side kept losing wickets at regular intervals, and in the end, only a 25-ball 22 from the captain Mashrafe Mortaza saved them the blushes.
Chasing 237 for a win, the English team looked set for an easy win as the opening pair added 49 for the first wicket off less than eight overs. However, the tide began to change in the favour of the visitors, once Rubel Hossain got the captain Andrew Strauss to edge one to the wicket-keeper. Craig Kieswetter fell soon after, while the injury to Ian Bell meant that the side meant that the middle-order had to be shifted up by one position.
It was the introduction of spinners that pegged the English side back and when Abdur Razzaq picked up Paul Collingwood and Eoin Morgan off successive overs, the hosts looked in trouble.
90/4 became 115/5 when the rather surprisingly promoted up the order, Michael Yardy was bowled by Shakib al Hasan, while Luke Wright added 31 with Trott before Mortaza’s decision to keep a slip paid off and got his wicket.
Ajmal Shahzad pottered around for a few even as Trott completed his half century. Shahzad, however, departed soon after. Stuart Broad was England’s last hope in the line-up and he did get going with a 25-ball 21 and at that stage it did look like the English side would manage to get out of trouble.
28 runs were required off 24 balls, when Broad tried to chip Mortaza over cover but only managed to give the point fielder a catch, while James Anderson was dismissed for two. England were nine down at this stage, as a hobbling Bell made his way out to the centre.
10 were needed off the last over, and despite a four by Trott (94), a slower ball from Shafiul islam got his edge and it was neatly held by the keeper to give the visitors a win.
Mortaza who followed up his 22 with a two wicket haul and some innovative captaincy also won the man of the match award.
