Liton guides Bangladesh to 158-2 against England

Najmul Hossain made 47 as Bangladesh, who lead the series 2-0, look to whitewash world champions England.

Sent in to bat first, Liton gave Bangladesh a positive start putting on 55 runs with Rony Talukdar in the opening stand.

England's first breakthrough came when Adil Rashid dismissed Rony for 24 but Najmul and Liton added 84 runs for the second wicket to keep up momentum.

England missed a chance to dismiss Liton soon after the right-hander completed his ninth T20I half-century when Ben Duckett dropped him on 51 at deep mid-wicket off Jofra Archer.

Archer was also unlucky not to get Rony's wicket earlier as Rehan Ahmed dropped a sitter at third man with the batsman on 17.

Chris Jordan brought an end to Liton's 57-ball innings forcing him to give a catch to Phil Salt at deep midwicket.

England did well to contain the Bangladeshi batsmen after Liton's dismissal with only one boundary struck in the death overs.

Najmul, who survived on 40 after being given lbw off Jordan, ensured Bangladesh still had a decent score with his third 40-plus innings in the series.

Jordan and Rashid finished with 1-21 and 1-23 for England respectively.

England won the preceding three-match one-day international series 2-1.

The matches are important practice for England on South Asian pitches ahead of the ODI World Cup to be held in India later this year.
