Jason Roy, Sam Curran seal England's series with 132-run victory

England 326 for 7 (Roy 132, Buttler 76) beat Bangladesh 194 (Shakib 58, Curran 4-29, Rashid 4-45) by 132 runs Jason Roy's 12th ODI century and second in five innings set England on their way to a hefty total of 326 for 7, but Sam Curran's masterful spell of left-arm swing bowling wrecked any prospect of a contest in the second ODI at Mirpur.

However, this was a performance that repaid the faith, as he tailored his typically proactive methods to the vagaries of another tacky Mirpur surface, one on which it was tough for all batters to make starts, as four of his top-six colleagues showed in making 24 runs from 54 balls between them.Roy's own hard-handed approach caused him a
