England complete series whitewash

Mar 5 2010

Craig Kieswetter delivered a maiden international century as England completed a series whitewash over Bangladesh with a 45-run win in the third one-day international.

Kieswetter's 107 was more measured than his reputation as a power hitter might suggest, but after his first 50 occupied 80 balls he took just 41 to convert his half-century into a full one, with nine fours and three mighty sixes along the way.

There was also some explosive late hitting from Luke Wright (32 not out in 13 deliveries) as the tourists posted 284 for five having lost the toss. Bangladesh's reply suffered from the regular tumble of wickets and closed on 239 for nine, with Tim Bresnan returning four for 28.
