Well there you go! Morgan finishes it style, clipping this high and handsomely over square leg for six! He's been so completely certain and controlled under pressure, fantastic batting. He becomes, incidentally, the first to make an ODI hundred for two nations.

Full commentary
That is all from me, Sahil Dutta, Liam Brickhill and Andrew McGlashan, it's been an enjoyable match and we'll be back on Friday 5th for the final ODI at Chittagong. Until then, do check out Liam's bulletin, which will be ready shortly, and Andrew Miller's Twitter page. Thanks for all the emails, I hope you'll join us on Friday.
The man of the match is, unsurprisingly, Eoin Morgan. He says he didn't even know when he reached his hundred and says he had a clear plan for the run chase and was certain that Tredwell on debut would stick with him.
England seal the series and Shakib at the presentation ceremony says he's have wanted 10 more runs but praises Morgan's innings, saying he assessed the conditions very well.
Alastair Cook is full of smiles, and is particularly pleased with winning the fastest fifty award having just been left out of the World Twenty20 squad.
The deflections and reverse-sweeps always attract interest, but it's Morgan's serene presence under pressure that really impresses. For Bangladesh, Shakib may rue the decision to use Shafiul at the end, pace on the ball seemed to release the shackles, but really their attack lacks a touch of menace at times.
Finally Morgan affords himself a smile as he punches the air and high-fives his captain. Bangladesh came so close here, thanks in no small part to three quick wickets from their captain Shakib.

Shafiul to Tredwell, no run
slower ball to finish, which takes some guts, and Shafiul lands it well, Tredwell can't do much with that. Excellent finish to the over

Well this is a dangerous move from Shakib, paceman Safiul Islam is on. Runs will be available but he could take a wicket I suppose.

Shakib finishes a fabulous spell, he's done all he can with the ball to give his side a chance

Shakib to Tredwell, no run
you'd think he's landing grenades, Tredwell very suspiciously prods at this outside off stump into the off side
James Tredwell on debut has a massive job to do. He just has to hold his nerve and bat for Morgan. This is Shakib's last over.

Shakib to Swann, OUT
Shakib Al Hasan is turning this match on its head! Swann runs down the wicket and misses a swipe entirely, ends up being bowled. Not particularly clever from him, but huge for Bangladesh.
