Tigers taste victory at last
Bangladesh secured their maiden victory over England in thrilling fashion, sealing a five-run success in the second match of the NatWest Series when Jonathan Trott edged behind in the final over.

Too hot for Trott: Shafiul seals Bangladesh's first win for 247 days
Since their elevation to full members of the International Cricket Council in 2000, Bangladesh had lost 20 matches in a row - across all formats - against England, and arrived in Bristol without a win of any sort since last November.
But that run is now at an end after they successfully defended a modest total of 236-7 to level the NatWest Series at 1-1, setting up a decider at Edgbaston on Monday.
England began the last over, bowled by Shafiul Islam, requiring 10 runs with last pair Trott and Ian Bell at the crease.
Bell had bravely made his way to the middle to stand at the non-striker's end despite his left foot being in plaster, having fractured the fifth metatarsal when attempting to take a catch earlier in the game.
Trott, aided by Bell's fleet-footed runner Eoin Morgan, took a pair of twos to reduce the equation to six needed from four deliveries.
But he then edged Shafiul's slower ball through to wicketkeeper Jahurul Islam to depart for 94 and spark wild celebrations among Bangladesh's players.
