EDGED AND GONE! That will do it for England and Sam Curran again gets a scalp with that away swinger. He gets his fourth and Islam will depart for 1 here. Back of a length delivery and with a hint of shade away from the off, Islam goes for a block off the backfoot but plays the inside line. The southpaw gets the outside edge that goes straight into the safe hands of Jos Buttler. England wins the second ODI comprehensively by 132 runs and seals the three-match ODI series here.

ENG won by 132 runs
7:04 PM IST: A comprehensive win for England as Sam Curran finishes things off in style with the last wicket. They win by 132 runs to win the game and seal the series 2-0 with a game to spare. They have outplayed the hosts in all facets of the game here in Mirpur.
Chasing a mammoth 327 for the win, Bangladesh were rocked early by Sam Curran as Litton Das, Shanto and Rahim went back to the hut with the score at 9/3. Shakib fought for his side with 58. Skipper Tamim scored a painstaking 35 off 65 balls. Mahmudullah scored 32 while Afif got 23 and Taskin 21. But they were always playing catch up and were way short of the target.
Sam Curran started it all by getting the first 3 wickets. He ended up with 4/29. Adil Rashid bowled well through the middle and ended with figures of 4/45 in 10 overs. Moeen Ali also bowled an economical spell of 1/27 in 9 overs.
Earlier in the game after being put into bat first, England amassed 326/7 thanks to a superlative ton from Jason Roy. He scored 132 off 134 balls and was assisted by skipper Jos Buttler who played well for his 76 off 64 balls. Moeen Ali played well for his 43 off 35 balls while Sam Curran's cameo of 33* off 19 balls took the score to 326/7 which was way above par on this kind of a pitch.
Taskin Ahmed picked up 3 wickets for 66 runs in his 10 overs. A couple of wickets for Mehidy Hasan Miraz and a wicket apiece for Shakib and Taijul Islam. Mustafizur Rahman went wicketless as he was once again disappointing to say the least.
There was nothing much to cheer about the hosts as it was all England today. They win this game by 132 runs and take the series with a game to spare. Stick around for the presentations.

Time for the presentation ceremony...
Tamim Iqbal (Bangladesh Captain): "I think I was a bit disappointed with the way we started with the ball. I thought there was a little bit of help for spinners for sure. We had an opportunity to bring them down but they batted well. Roy batted well exceptionally well and Buttler also batted well. As I said, when you lose a game like this, you can poke fingers at many people but I'm not that kind of a person. I think we didn't do well as a team and that's why we lost.
When you lose three wickets in the opening stages, it becomes a little bit difficult. We just didn't click. Can't blame any particular bowler or batter. Chasing 327, somebody had to take the chance. Even when we were 3 down, the intent that Shakib showed was brilliant. We would like to finish the series on a high in the final game. It is disappointing that we lost the series but credit goes to England as well."

Jason Roy | Player of the Match: "I spent a lot time playing a lot of cricket in the subcontinent. Today I had dig deep to tap into those skills. I needed myself to give an opportunity, in the first game I had a rush of blood and got out playing a poor shot. Today I made sure I had time to get in and get runs on the board to give the side a good score. Unbelievable effort, the way Jos plays, we rotated the strike well and then the innings from Moeen and Sam was incredible. All those innings were very good. All three of those guys coming in and scoring freely was high skill. Very very happy."
Jos Buttler (England Captain):"Yes we were. A fantastic series win. Bangladesh are a formidable team at home. Delighted to get the win. Jason Roy was terrific and then Sam with the ball alongside Rashid was great to see. Yes, absolutely. The conditions are tough and the way the guys stood up and played was amazing to see. Proud of them. Looking forward to get to Chattogram and see how it goes. Assess the conditions and do well out there. This will go a long way in helping us do well in the World Cup."
That concludes the presentation and that also wraps up our coverage of the 2nd One-Day International between Bangladesh & England. It was yet another comprehensive performance from the tourists and they have taken an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the series. Do join us on Monday for the third and final ODI of the series as Bangladesh will try and battle it out for dignity in what is a dead rubber of an encounter. For now, this is Megh Mandaliya, signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Ayan Chatterjee and Srivathsa, alongside our scorer/analyst Ashok Dayma. Cheers!
