When two more wickets tumbled with his team at 99\/4 in the 22nd over, he forged a 141-run partnership with Mushfiqur Rahim (89).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">The right-hander duo not only wriggled the team out of trouble but also enabled the team to post a competitive total despite a poor start.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">At the start, pacer James Anderson starred for England. The right-armer forced an edge from left-hander Imrul Kayes (2) to Chris Jordan at third slip.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Tamim Iqbal (2) also managed an edge in Anderson&#39;s second over. The left-handed batsman failed to handle a delivery that was moving away from him and it landed in the hands of Joe Root at second slip.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">It left the Asian side reeling at 8\/2 and in walked Mahmudullah. He joined Saumya Sarkar (40) in the middle and they exercised a damage control with a 86-run stand.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">With five fours and a six, Sarkar was looking good before he edged a Jordan delivery to wicketkeeper Jos Buttler in the 21st over.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">In the next over, experienced Shakib Al Hasan (2) perished against off-spinner Moeen Ali to leave his side in deep waters at 99\/4.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Former skipper Rahim joined Mahmudullah and the duo kept the scoreboard ticking. They upped the ante in the later part of their partnership. Rahim was more aggressive as he hit eight fours and a six in the 77 balls he faced.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">He was a perfect foil for the 29-year-old Mahmudullah, who relied more on singles and twos and punished weak deliveries.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">The 29-year-old Mahumudullah hit seven fours and a six to notch up his 100 in 131 balls. He was run out by a direct throw from Chris Woakes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">After his fall with his team on 240\/5 in the 46th over, Rahim also lost his wicket in the 48th over while trying to accelerate. England bowlers bowled well at the death and minimised the damage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Anderson and Jordan picked two wickets apiece, while Chris Broad and Ali took a wicket each.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Brief scores: Bangladesh 275\/7 in 50 overs (Mohammad Mahmudullah 103, Mushfiqur Rahim 89; James Anderson 2-45, Chris Jordan 2-59) vs England.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
