Scorecard

Tamim Iqbal blasted 112 from just 71 balls to help Bangladesh make it two victories in two in this tournament - and both against England. After being sent in, England folded for 173 while Bangladesh romped to their target with a whopping 21 overs to spare.

Iqbal's nifty knock included 13 fours and six sixes as he crashed, smashed and trashed his way to victory. Mehdi Hussain contributed just 29 of the 127 runs the openers put on together as Iqbal went on the rampage.

Saqibul Hasan once again proved a tormentor to England. In the opening match, his 82 consigned them to defeat, here he did the damage with the ball, taking 3 for 35 from 6.4 overs. At the age of just 15, he is a great prospect - although England weren't thinking about the future in this match, they were more worried about trying to stay in the tournament.

For England, Robert Woodman provided the only batting contribution of note; his 55 standing out among some steady but unspectacular efforts from his colleagues. Rory Hamilton-Brown took three late wickets for England but the game was over long before then.

England are now on the brink of limping out of the tournament after they slumped to their third successive defeat. If Sri Lanka win their match on Sunday, England's fate will be sealed. Bangladesh, however, are on a roll and now top the group.
