The score in their ODI series level at 1-1 after their first-ever defeat against Bangladesh - by five runs at Bristol last Saturday ufffd in 21 matches in any form of the game, a demoralised England side will have to avert ignominy in today's re-match at Edgbaston as they prepare for the sterner Ashes series against the Old Enemy Down Under later this year.

Before the match, England had comfortably won eight Tests and 12 one-day internationals against the Bangladeshis. The teams have not met in a Twenty20 match.

This year Bangladesh had lost all 24 fixtures in all forms of cricket, their last win being a one-wicket win over Zimbabwe in November 2009. The unpredictable Bangladeshis have now beaten every Test country in one format or another.
