Result: England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) Eleven won by eight wickets.

Bangladesh went down by eight wickets to the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) Eleven in a limited over match played at the Shenly Cricket Centre ground in London on Sunday.

According to faxed message received here, sent into bat first, careless batting by Bangladesh's top order restricted them to a meagre 118 before they were all out in 48.1 overs.

Middle-order Naimur Rahman hammered highest 41 while veteran opener Athar (24) and skipper Akram Khan (15) were the only other two to have reached double figures.

Bangladesh made a change in their batting order, promoting one-down Faruque Ahmed as Athar's partner. But the gamble back-fired when Faruque was out on duck after facing seven balls. On the other hand Rafique, who was brought down the order to number eight, scored only one run.

ECB Eleven's new ball bowler K Arnold captured highest three wickets for 13 runs from his 9.1 overs while Scott and Foster evenly shared four wickets.

Replying to Bangladesh, an unbeaten 78-run third-wicket stand between D Clarke and S Foster helped the home side reach the target of 119 with the loss of two wickets and with more than 11 overs to spare.

Clarke was undefeated on 41 while Foster was not out on 29. Besides, two openers Robinson and Roberts scored 28 and 12 runs.

Slow medium-pacer Athar and left-arm spinner Mohammad Rafique took the wickets that fell.

It was Bangladesh's second match in England. They won their first outing against Radlett Cricket Club on June 18. Bangladesh were due to meet Leicestershire County Cricket Club in their next limited-over match yesterday.
