...Presentation time...
When it mattered the most, the experienced players stepped up. The fifties from Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim in the start and then, Shakib Al Hasan gave a perfect ending in the first innings to take Bangladesh near 250. Shakib Al Hasan was the one who started all with the ball as well, taking four wickets but others too bowled very brilliantly. A classic Shakib Al Hasan all-round performance which you will see regularly. England might have won the series but this win helps Bangladesh to avoid the whitewash.
All the bowlers were so disciplined with their bowling. The start wasn't as they wanted but once Salt fell, the wickets started to tumble down. There was not a single stand which gave a feeling of hope. Wickets kept on falling regularly and once Jos Buttler fell, it was all over. Chris Woakes tried his best but in vain. One big partnership could have helped England take this game deep or even win.
A superb performance by Bangladesh. There was nothing on stake but their experienced players stepped up. This was their best performance by far with the ball and it helped them to win.

OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! This time the wicket will stand. Length and on middle. Woakes chips it back to Rahman who takes to his right. He juggles at first but doesn't panic and takes in his second attempt Bangladesh win by 50 runs.

Jofra Archer takes the review. Tossed up, angling on middle and leg. Jofra Archer prods to defend but misses and gets hit on the pads. Woakes in particular was suggesting it is going down. No bat on it. Ball Tracking shows the wickets are missing. Good call from Woakes.
