So, England continue their successful summer. Although this was always expected to be an easy win, it was an important game for them after losing the final two matches of their series against Australia. Ian Bell once again cashes in on Bangladesh's attack with an unbeaten 84 to complete a chase that was set up by a rapid half-century from Andrew Strauss. England's bowling wasn't quite as slick as their batting, and Bangladesh could have got 20 to 30 more with a little more gumption. One felt that they just didn't back themselves to dominate the bowling. As is often the case, Shakib Al Hasan was the pick of their bowling attack.
No update on Mushfiqur as yet - he has gone to hospital for x-rays. "It was a good track to bat on, and England batted beautifully," says Mashrafe.
"We were pretty happy with the work we did with the ball, apart from the start. We always felt we could chase 250, it was a pretty clinical chase from us," says Strauss. "Belly played exceptionally well, he's been dying to get an opportunity and he took his chance today."
And indeed, Ian Bell is Man of the Match. "It was an opportunity to get some time out in the middle with the full side," he says, and credits his recent time with the England Lions for his one-day form too. "I also went back to Warwickshire and worked on a few things Andy Flower told me about when I went out of the side."

slapped! Bell is keen to get this over with, as he comes charging down the track and slams a short, wide ball to the cover point boundary
It's probably been discussed before, but Yardy really does have an extraordinary trigger movement. He positions himself a good foot outside leg and shuffles to middle and leg before the ball is bowled.
