Famous win by Bangladesh

great win for them

160 million population, cricket mad and gaining experience - Bangladesh are going to be major players in world cricket

Cook: Credit to Bangladesh. No complaints about the conditions. These guys grew up in spinning wickets and they deserve the win.

Ben Stokes was fined 15 percent of his match fee for his altercation with Sabbir Rahman.

The incident happened during the morning session on Sunday when Stokes

ignored the on-field umpires' requests to stop "verbally engaging"

with Bangladesh batsman Sabbir Rahman.

The on-field umpires - Kumar Dharmasena and S Ravi - had also advised England

captain Cook of Stokes' actions but, in the words of the ICC media release :

"the player didn't comply with the instructions". .

Stokes was found to have violated Article 2.1.1 of the ICC Code of Conduct

for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to

"conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game"

In addition to the sanction imposed for his breach of Article 2.1.1,

one demerit point has been added to Stokes' disciplinary record.

If Stokes reaches four or more demerit points within a 24-month period,

they will be converted into suspension points and he will be banned.

Two suspension points equate to a ban from one Test or two ODIs or two T20Is,

whatever comes first for the player. .

"I do find it a little bit frustrating"

"Both Sabbir and Stokesy are very competitive cricketers.

To me, people love it.

That's what people watch"
