Flogging Bangladesh"s bowlers around Chittagong will not be the sternest plea he will confront in his career but it has positively hermetic his thoroughfare to the Caribbean for May"s World Twenty20.

Kieswetter"s 107, from 123 balls with 9 fours and 3 sixes, supposing the bulk of England"s sum of 284 for five after they were asked to set a aim rather than follow one.

Bangladesh"s reply was energetic but typically reckless, a multiple that authorised England to applaud a purify brush in the array after they won by 45 runs, a outcome that keeps their 100 per cent jot down opposite their hosts intact, at slightest until subsequent Friday"s opening Test.

After dual failures there was vigour for Kieswetter to perform here and clear the selectors" conviction in bringing him in to the group for Jonathan Trott. If there were nerves, they were far less clear than those afflicting Bangladesh"s batsmen, who again self-destructed after gaining a earnest on all sides at the median theatre of their run chase.

Unlike his dual alternative attempts at personification the invader at the head of the order, Kieswetter gave himself time to settle, no disbelief the outcome of a word or dual from Andy Flower, England"s correct executive of cricket.

Instead, he suspended the attack purpose until after and played something coming a normal innings with the clever start, burgeoning center and mad end.

"In the initial dual games I wasn"t mentally wakeful of how I was going to gait my innings but currently I attempted to get myself in prior to perplexing to fool around any impracticable shots," Kieswetter said.

He still struck the round tough and the muscularity of his hit won over the internal crowd. They love a 6 in these tools and once he and Paul Collingwood motionless to accelerate after the 30th over, he plonked 3 well over the ropes.

He had multiform allies and 3 of his initial 4 partnerships upheld the 50 mark. The usually one that unsuccessful was with Kevin Pietersen, something of a purpose indication for Kieswetter, who was dismissed, not for the initial time, by a left-arm spinner.

Poor old KP, his run of bad form has got even Michael Vaughan raising questions as to his right to be in England"s first-choice side at present. Vaughan was at a fundraiser in London and referred to it as a delegate point to his instruct for England to collect fewer South-Africa lifted players.

When told of the former England"s captain"s views, Kieswetter defused the situation. "It"s probably something I"m going to have to put up with," he said. "But I don"t see it as an issue. I was innate with a British passport, I"ve finished my 4 years gift after personification for South Africa I am British."

Vaughan has no issue about Pietersen"s right to play, but he does have qualms about his form. The KP-is-shot perspective is not common by his team-mates, who, publicly at least, have shown zero but await for him, something Alastair Cook reiterated on Friday when he pronounced Pietersen was still England"s biggest player.

He is probably right but that cannot lead astray from the poignant blind mark he has opposite left-arm spin. What began as something of a wind-up by Yuvraj Singh in India only over a year ago Yuvraj discharged him a couple of times and would come on at your convenience he came to the double has right away incited in to a full-blown phobia.

Friday"s lapse, his third opposite left-arm spinners in the series, came opposite Abdur Razzak, and was roughly a CO duplicate of his lbw to the same bowler during the prior ODI in Dhaka. Whether it is the far-reaching point of view they broach from or simply the arena that fools him, he plants his feet and slides his bat opposite his desk pad similar to a screen rail. If the round turns, he is in trouble, that is what happened on Friday.

Pietersen done up for it by bowling tidily, his eight overs indispensable since England left out James Tredwell, their second spinner. Earlier, Ajmal Shahzad, England"s third ODI debutant of the series, took a wicket with his third ball, something he additionally did on his Twenty20 entrance last month.

Tim Bresnan took the new round with him and was considerable throughout, finishing with 4 for 28, career-best total for England as Bangladesh threw the bat. Both men will roughly positively fool around in Sunday"s three-day compare and presumably in the First Test, should Stuart Broad and Graham Onions destroy to redeem in time.

Both Broad and Onions had MRI scans on Friday, that showed no strident repairs to their reduce backs. They right away proceed reconstruction programmes and will goal to be fit for the First Test in 6 days" time.
