He made the second-highest World Cup score by an England batsman, falling just short of Andrew Strauss' 158 against India in 2011, in eye-catching style. Bangladesh was always behind the required run rate, with Shakib _ with two half-centuries already to his name this World Cup _ starting watchfully before opening his shoulders. A single got him to his century, off 95 balls, as he became the second Bangladesh player to record a World Cup hundred, after Mahmudullah (twice, in 2015). As for the English, a third straight World Cup loss to the Tigers was avoided and they are back on track as they go for a first 50-over world title.
