Chittagong: England overcame a determined Bangladesh by four wickets to clinch a one-day series win after another tense tussle in Chittagong.


Sam Billings, making his first ODI appearance in more than a year, and Ben Duckett both made half-centuries as England's makeshift top four put them in position to overhaul Bangladesh's 277 for six.



Despite a brief wobble, Ben Stokes (47*) and Chris Woakes (27*) ensured the tourists claimed the spoils with 13 balls to spare for a 2-1 series win.

The series had been finely poised after one win each in Dhaka and although there were fears rain would at least shorten the contest, that never materialised.
