After Michael Vaughan had declared on their overnight 293 for five, setting Bangladesh an improbable 468 to win, the Tigers were found wanting against some aggressive and hostile tactics employed by the tourists and capitulated to 138 all out in their second innings less than an hour into the post-lunch session.

Man-of-the-match Richard Johnson started the slide, having opener Hannan Sarker brilliantly caught one-handed down the leg side by wicketkeeper Chris Read for four.

Then came the most obtuse dismissal of the innings with Habibul Bashar getting run out. Bashar, who had looked largely untroubled except for a dropped chance in the slips, raced to 21 off as many balls with three boundaries when shoddy running resulted in his wicket.

Having pulled Johnson to the vacant mid-wicket, Bashar took two runs with ease with his partner Javed Omar and was coming back for a third. But Omar for some reason was looking at the fielder and stayed glued to his crease, leaving Bashar with little time to get back and beat Martin Saggers' throw from the deep.

Saggers was again in action when Omar (18) tried to cut one of his deliveries too close to his body and Read took a simple catch to leave Bangladesh on 51 for three.

Seven runs later, another run-out pulled the stuffing out of the home side. Mushfiqur Rahman was promoted ahead of Alok Kapali after some resolute batting in the series but missed out this time around when he fell just short of the crease to a Vaughan throw from cover while responding to Rajin Saleh for a sharp single.

Rikki Clarke had Saleh caught behind as the batsman drove without getting to the pitch of the ball.

Kapali (19 off 18 balls), who is going through a prolonged batting slump in Tests, showed the first signs of resistance but only flattered to deceive.

In the last over before lunch, the talented all-rounder hooked Johnson for a six and drove magnificently down the ground for a four off the first two balls. But just as he so often does, he couldn't resist the temptation of going after another short delivery and a backtracking Saggers at deep square leg held out his right hand and somehow managed to catch the ball which had already gone over his head. It was a superlative effort and completed a fantastic day for the paceman in the field.

The England bowlers continuously bowled short after lunch while placing a forward short leg, a deep square leg and a deep fine leg. Bangladesh captain Khaled Mahmud bore the brunt of some searing balls and had to be treated by the physio on a couple of occasions. Mahmud lost Khaled Mashud with the total on 108 as the former captain couldn't take the bat out of the way from a Johnson delivery.

With his ship sinking, Mahmud decided to go down fighting. He slogged his way to 33 with the help of a six and three fours before being the last man out to Johnson, who ended with four for 44 to add to his five for 49 in the first innings.

"There was some bounce in the wicket and with cracks opening up on the third and fourth days, I bowled a bit short and got the results," said Johnson.

England paceman Matthew Hoggard, who bowled tirelessly throughout the two Tests, was adjudged man of the series, while opener Marcus Trescothick was declared the batsman of the series for his 201 runs in four innings which included a hundred and a fifty.

Bangladesh's left-arm spinner Mohammad Rafique became the top wicket-taker with 10 victims.
