England destroy Bangladesh to claim series win | Thebigtip

Strauss and Trott tame Tigers - by Julian Gayer from foxsports.com.au

Andrew Strauss and Jonathan Trott made hundreds as England bounced back from their shock defeat to beat Bangladesh by 144 runs at Edgbaston and take the three-match one-day international series 2-1.

England captain Strauss made an ODI-best of 154 and Trott 110, his first hundred at this level, in a huge total of 7-347.

Their second-wicket stand of 250 was an England record for any ODI wicket, topping the 226 shared by Strauss and Andrew Flintoff against West Indies at Lord's in 2004.

England's total was their second highest in a 50-overs-per-side match after the 391 they made against Bangladesh at Trent Bridge in 2005 when Strauss - both the man-the-match and the series - posted his previous best of 152.

It was also the first time two England batsmen had both made hundreds in the same ODI innings since Alastair Cook and Ian Bell achieved the feat against India at the Rose Bowl in 2007.

Bangladesh dramatically beat England for the first time in any format in 21 matches with a five-run win at Bristol that ended a run of 24-straight defeats against all opponents.

Having made a typically brisk 16, Tigers opener Tamim Iqbal was deceived by an Ajmal Shahzad slower ball and skied to Luke Wright at mid-off.
