Tigers claw back English lions

Bangladesh produced another shock defeat for England in the 2011 cricket world cup on Friday as they chased down their target to claim a dramatic win.

England batted first and only managed to reach 225 in Chittagong, with the main contributions coming from Jonathan Trott (67) and Eoin Morgan (63), who replaced the injured Kevin Pietersen.

They looked set to defend it as Bangladesh fell to 169-8, but heroics from tail-enders Mahmudullah and Shafiul Islam saw them home with six balls left on 227-8, thereby winning by two wickets.

This latest disappointment adds to the unpredictability of the English side who memorably tied with India, before being outplayed by Ireland and then bowled out the impressive South Africans. Their progression in the tournament remains uncertain, but they are at least gaining fans for being the most entertaining outfit.
