There’s a delay with the presentation at the ground so I’m going to humanely knock this OBO on the head. Simon Burnton’s report from the game will be along very shortly and we’ll be back on Sunday for game number two of this three match series. Until then, thanks and goodbye!

Exactly this. England paid the price for a stuttering second half to their innings, credit to Bangladesh for putting the brakes on and taking quick wickets. Shanto then played an assured knock, shots all round the ground off both pace and spin. He fell towards the end but by that stage the damage was done and Shakib was never going to let the game slip between his fingers.
Bangladesh waltz to victory in the first T20 against England in Chittagong: six wickets and two overs to spare. England paid for a limp end to their innings, then Shanto batted beautifully.
