Bangladesh v England - 2nd Test - at Chittagong - 1997/8 - Match Report

 Bangladesh put up a spirited performance in the 2nd Test but crumbled late on Day 5 to lose an entertaining match by 83 runs.

A better batting pitch was appreciated by batsmen on both teams but England's bowling skill was enough to secure victory with an over to spare on Day 5 after a late collapse of 4 wickets for 1 run by the Bangladesh tail.

Bangladesh looked an outside chance of victory after good batting by Javed Omar and Habibul Bashar in their 2nd innings but ultimately fell short to had England an unbeatable 2-0 series lead.

Graham Thorpe was named Man of the Match for his first innings 151, an innings which handed his team an advantage they maintained throughout.

The teams now head back to Dhaka for the 3rd Test with England expected to test the depth of their squad and rest some of their first choice players now the series is secured.
