Bangladesh levelled the one day series with England on Sunday but the match was marred by an ugly confrontation between Jos Buttler and some of the home side.

The tourists had won the first of the three-match rubber on Friday and Bangladesh were clearly fired up as they strode out to bat first in a 50-over contest they had to win to keep the series alive. But they managed to post only a modest 238 for eight in their innings, with Chris Woakes the pick of the England bowlers taking 2 wickets for 40 runs in his nine overs. Only Mohammad Mahmudullah of the Bangladesh batsmen made a significant score, compiling a patient 75 in two and a quarter hours.
