England World Cup Hopes Gone After Defeat to Bangladesh
3 of 3
Bangladesh (275-7) beat England (260 all out) by 15 runs
England were knocked out of the 2015 World Cup on Monday as they lost their penultimate Pool A game to Bangladesh, with the Tigers advancing to the quarter-finals thanks to their narrow victory in Adelaide.
Mahmudullah's 103 was the key contribution for Bangladesh as they posted 275 batting first, a slow last few overs seeing them fall short of the 300 mark.
In the chase, England were nervy, with several batsmen getting starts but no significant partnerships being built as the required run rate rose.
Key late wickets saw Bangladesh take the advantage, and they polished off the English tail to clinch victory and book their place in the quarter-finals.
England won the toss and decided to field first, and they had Bangladesh two wickets down in no time. Jimmy Anderson dismissed Imrul Kayes in the opening over before returning Tamim Iqbal to the pavilion in the third to give England a terrific start.
A decent third-wicket partnership saw Bangladesh recover slightly, but Soumya Sarkar went for 40, quickly followed by Shakib Al Hasan to leave the Tigers 99 for four in the 22nd over.
However, Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim then put on 141 together to shift the momentum, the former scoring Bangladesh's first-ever World Cup ton and his maiden ODI century, per BBC Sport:

Mahmudullah was eventually run out for 103 from 138 balls after a controlled and classy knock which brought Bangladesh back into the game, with Rahim falling for 89.
England's bowlers restricted Bangladesh well in the final 10 overs to leave the game hanging in the balance, with Eoin Morgan's side set a target of 276 for the victory to keep their tournament hopes alive.
Mahmudullah suggested after the Bangladesh innings that he would have preferred his team to have added a few more, but it was a defendable total, per ESPNcricinfo:

Openers Moeen Ali and Ian Bell survived the first few overs as they looked to build a crucial partnership before the former was run out in calamitous fashion, per Sky Sports Cricket:

Alex Hales made a handy 27 before nicking behind off the bowling of Mashrafe Mortaza. Bell then fell for 63, followed by Morgan holing out to fine leg on the boundary rope for a duck to leave England reeling.
James Taylor joined Joe Root in the middle but fell for just one as he was caught behind at slip to bring in Jos Buttler earlier than expected, with England 132 for five.
Root went for 29, leaving Buttler needing to make a key contribution. The Lancashire man played a calm innings—well assisted by Chris Woakes—but was dismissed for 65 in the 46th over to set up a tense finish.
Chris Jordan went first ball, run out in unfortunate fashion as his bat bounced up after he had made his ground, but England were given a lifeline when Woakes was dropped at long on in the 48th over.
But Stuart Broad was bowled in the penultimate over, followed two balls later by Anderson to see England all out and hand Bangladesh a 15-run victory, which sees both them and Sri Lanka through to the last eight from Pool A.
