Bangladesh vs England, 2nd ODI - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Just when it felt as Mahmudullah would take Bangladesh to some respectability, he was dismissed leg-before by Rashid. The veteran batsman took the review, but replays suggested that the impact was in line and would go on to hit the off-stump. Mosaddek Hossain too followed him back to the pavilion.

Mortaza, the captain, then breathed some life into the innings by thumping Moeen Ali for a couple of sixes in the 43rd over.

Bangladesh would be grateful to Mortaza, the captain, for playing with spunk and spirit to power the home side to a handy total. He crunched two boundaries and three sixes during his vital innings of 44. Nasir Hossain supported him well with a sprightly unbeaten knock of 27.

Earlier, Mahmdullah was the only batsman who handled England's barrage of short deliveries to essay a well-constructed innings of 75. Most of the batsmen succumbed to some well-directed short-pitched bowling by Woakes and Ball. The track is offering assistance to the spinners, but the dew factor might help out the visitors.

The duo of Shakib Al Hasan and Mortaza bowled with verve and purpose to pose problems to England's batsmen. The track is offering considerable turn to the spinners and this could very well turn out to be a tricky chase. In fact, Jason Roy survived a couple of close calls, including an appeal for stumping. However, on replays, it was clear that the batsman had some part of his back-heel inside the crease.

If England looked to bang it short and outside off, then the hosts have largely attacked the stumps. Different strategies on display.

Bangladesh made a roaring comeback by sending the duo of Vince and Duckett back to the pavilion. Vince played an uppish drive off Mortaza straight into the hands of the backward point fielder, while the left-handed batsman attempted an airy fairy drive to a delivery that turned considerably from Shakib, but could only hear the death rattle.

On expected lines, Roy and Jonny Bairstow have been surrounded by a slew of close-in fielders.

Now, this is turning into a calamitous collapse as Roy, too, walks back to the pavilion with a forlorn look on his face. The aggressive opener tried the short-arm jab to a delivery that kept low and was rapped on the pads. Not surprisingly, Mortaza dished out a loud appeal and the on-field umpire answered it in the affirmative. Mortaza is churning out a game-changing performance.

Geez! Mortaza is in the form of life as he now cleans up Ben Stokes. The left-handed batsman played all over a straight ball and his stumps took a beating. Bangladesh will fancy their chances of winning the match from here.

Mortaza also got the boisterous crowd up on its feet.

In the recent past, Jos Buttler has come to England's rescue. Just a few months ago, he piloted England to a memorable tie against Sri Lanka after they found themselves precariously-placed at 82 for 6. Today, too, he is looking in ominous touch.

He moved around the crease to upset the bowlers' length. When Bangladesh's seamers banged it short, he pulled it to the fence. The point can be capuslised by how the redoubtable cricketer cracked three fours off Taskin in the 17th over. It included a cross-batted swipe that just zooted away to the fence. It seemed more like a tennis forehand. Bairsatow, his partner at the other end, worked the ball into gaps to rotate the strike.

Just in the nick of time, Taskin Ahmed winkled out Bairstow. The right-handed batsman tried a half-hearted cut shot, but could only eke out an outside edge to the 'keeper. The hosts needed that wicket as the duo of Buttler and Bairstow had stitched a useful stand of 80.

For England, Buttler compiled a robust fifty.

The second ODI has turned out to be a game full of twists and turns. Nasir Hossain dismissed Moeen Ali to put the hosts back in the front. The left-handed batsman attempted a slog across the line, but could only get a top-edge and Shakib grabbed a fine tumbling catch at cover. He had to backtrack, but kept his eyes on the ball all the way through.

Now, that could turn out to be the decisive blow as Jos Buttler has been prised out by Taskin Ahmed. The England captain moved across the stumps to flick, but missed. The young seamer burst out a vociferous appeal and initially the on-field umpire adjudged him not out. However, on replays it was clear that the impact was in line and the HawkEye projected the ball would hit middle and off-stump.

There was more drama in the middle as Mahmdullah had a heated exchange with Buttler. The umpires then pacified the duo.

Is there still life in this game? Adil Rashid and Jake Ball aren't giving it up. Rashid lofted one over cover for a six and then Ball tonked Shafiul for a couple of boundaries. England need 57 from eight overs, but they have just one wicket in hand.

Holy moly! This might go down to the wire. Ball collected two more boundaries off Taskin's eighth over to bring the equation down to 36 runs in six overs. Rashid and Ball have played with guts and gumption.

What a series it has turned out to be for Ball? He took a five-fer and won the Man of the Match in the first game and now looks in good touch with the bat too.

Bangladesh finally wrapped up the match with hero of the day, Mortaza, providing the finishing touches by dismissing the last man - Jake Ball. For a while, Rashid and Ball gave the hosts a scare by cracking a volley of shots. However, it has to be said that they had too much to do.

Most of the damage was done early on in the innings when Mortaza ripped through the top-order. Buttler raised England's hopes with a buccaneering innings of 57. However, once he was dismissed, it was always going to be a tall order. Mortaza took four wickets while Taskin Ahmed chipped in with three.

Earlier, Mahmdullah resurrected Bangladesh's innings after they found themselves in some trouble. Mortaza then landed the decisive blows in the slog overs to pilot them to a useful total on a track that was taking turn.The final game of the series will be played on October 12 in Chittagong.
