Yorkshire pair bowl England to one-day win

Bresnan claimed 4-28 in his nine overs after fellow pace bowler and debutant Shahzad had been handed the new ball and, just as he had done on his Twenty20 bow in Dubai last month, obliged with a wicket in his first over, setting England on the way to a 45-run victory.

South African-born all-rounder Craig Kieswetter scored a century in only his third appearance for England as they reached 284-5.

The 22-year-old opener, whose selection had been criticised by former Ashes-winning captain Michael Vaughan, having represented South Africa at various age levels, was a late addition to the limited-overs squad in Bangladesh.

He had forced a promotion from the Lions through sheer weight of runs and he continued his rich vein of form by cracking nine fours and three sixes in his 107.

Although clearly delighted by his knock, the Somerset batsman is unwilling to give too much thought to his next appearance in the spotlight.

Team captain Andrew Strauss will be back in the summer, meaning one of Kieswetter or stand-in captain Alastair Cook may have to stand down.

On the 30-strong shortlist for the World Twenty20 next month, Kieswetter said: "It's obviously really nice to get a hundred under my belt, especially so early in my career.

"It's something I'm going to cherish and the fact that we won the game and the series means a lot, too.

"But I'm not trying not to look that far ahead right now. At the moment, I'm just looking forward to going back to Somerset and putting in some solid pre-season performances down there. If I get selected (by England) I'll be really chuffed and really excited but I'm just taking every day as it comes."

With Strauss's return imminent and Cook also impressing at the top of the order during the Bangladesh series, Kieswetter may find himself pitched into a head-to-head battle with wicketkeeper Matt Prior.

The Sussex man took the gloves in all three one-day internationals but Kieswetter was handed a chance behind the stumps in the second warm-up match in Fatullah.

Cook, who made 32 in yesterday's match on the back of consecutive half-centuries, hailed Kieswetter's knock but believes it is a formality that Strauss will return to the first XI.

Luke Wright's unbeaten 32 off 13 deliveries late on helped the tourists post a challenging total having lost the toss. Bangladesh's reply suffered from the regular fall of wickets and they closed on 239-9.

Shahzad's victim in his 1-55 return was Tamim Iqbal, who blazed 125 in the series opener in Dhaka, slashing to Bresnan at third man to be out for a duck.

Imrul Kayes brought him back to earth with exquisite drives for four off the front and back foot before hooking Bresnan for another boundary.

Bresnan continued to bound in and was rewarded with the wicket of Imrul, caught by Prior after thrashing outside off stump.

Chittagong native Aftab Ahmed survived a return catch to Shahzad on 26 but made a further 20 before a horribly mis-judged single saw him run out.

Mushfiqur Rahim played his part in the pair's 56-run stand before welcoming captain Shakib Al Hasan to the middle.

But Mushfiqur fell for 40 when he attempted to inject some acceleration, succeeding only in lifting Graeme Swann to deep mid-wicket.

Shakib (38) moved his side beyond 150 with consecutive fours off Paul Collingwood but he was out sweeping in the 34th over, a poor lbw decision giving Kevin Pietersen a rare success with the ball to leave the hosts five down.

When Collingwood's 10-over spell came to an end, Swann's return meant spin from both ends and, with 10 overs left and five wickets in hand, the hosts still required 95.

Naeem Islam (17) and Mahmudullah (33) paid the price for going aerial as they tried in vain to make inroads.

Bresnan picked up his third and fourth wickets when he picked off Suhrawordi and Shafiul Islam in the space of three balls in the 47th over.

Earlier, Kieswetter dug in well after a nervy opening period and laboured to a gutsy half-century.

Having passed that landmark the runs flowed and he reached three figures after just 41 additional deliveries.

Cook scored 32 in a 59-run opening stand with Kieswetter; Pietersen failed to put an end to the question marks over his recent form, making a subdued 22 before falling lbw to Abdur Razzak and Collingwood and Eoin Morgan, the England match-winners in the first and second games, each made 36 before Wright's thrilling cameo.
