England-Bangladesh: Record-Breaking Eoin Morgan Edges Tense Match

Eoin Morgan lead the way to an England fight back against Bangladesh as the three Lions edged out the Tigers in Dakar.

Alastair Cook won the toss for England and put Bangladesh into bat.

They took off to a good start with Kayes and Tamim Iqbal putting on 46 for the first wicket before Broad took the wicket of Iqbal caught by Cook.

Bangladesh motored on, Kayes made a very good 63 before Paul Collingwood took a great catch to dismiss him off his wicket.

Swann, who dismissed Kayes, took the wicket of Shakib a few overs later to keep Bangladesh under the cosh. 

But Shuvo and big hitting Naeem hit 27 runs off the final two overs to bolster Bangladesh's total to a very competitive 260 for six off their 50 overs.

England was hampered by an injury to Stuart Broad, who damaged his back bowling.

But the English innings were very stop and start as they lost wickets at regular intervals to some lackluster shots.

Craig Kieswetter fell for just four off his second ball, after edging his first ball through the slips, he found the slip the second time.

Pietersen continued to struggle again left-arm spin and was adjudged LBW to Rassaq for 18.

The wickets continued to fall for England with the loss of Collingwood LBW to Razzaq again.

Captain Cook batted well for his 60 but was caught behind, after a bit of a juggle, by Rahim off the bowling of Shakib.

Matt Prior batted well and supported Morgan very well. A record partnership against Bangladesh for the fifth wicket, they recorded a partnership of 90 before Prior was out leaving an end exposed for the Tigers to attack.

Wright, Bresnan and Swann all followed Prior back to the pavilion in quick succession hardly troubling the scorers.

But James Tredwell on debut, gave Morgan the support that was needed, by rotating the strike and leaving Morgan license to thrill.

Morgan became the first international player to score hundreds for two different countries, his other coming against Canada for Ireland. His breath-taking 110* off 104 balls caught the eye of many.

This was an innings of pure quality, and his skipper, Cook, hailed his innings.

He said, "He was calm under pressure and then dominated in the power play—it was a fantastic knock."

Morgan on the other hand said how surprised he was at reaching three figures.

He told BBC Sport, "I didn't actually know I'd reached a hundred, the scoreboard was a bit slow but I'll take it."

This was a good result for England and one Morgan can reflect on with fondness.
