Loudon had a profitable match with both bat and ball

England A triumphed in an exciting run chase on the final afternoon to record a five-wicket victory over Bangladesh A in the four-day 'Test' in Mirpur.

Having top-scored with 71, Alex Loudon continued his fine match by taking 5-76 with his off-spinners as Bangladesh were dismissed for 279.

All-rounder Tim Bresnan weighed in with an economic 2-23 from 16 overs.

Set 130 to win, Matt Prior and Nick Compton shared a rapid 68 as victory was achieved with two balls remaining.

Prior was the catalyst for the victorious chase, with a rapid 50 from 52 balls.

But it was Loudon who set up the chance of a win, with excellent control and clever use of his doosra delivery, which accounted for two outside edges.

"I've been able to bowl the doosra pretty well for a couple of years," he said.

"I'm trying to get it better obviously, but I've been more interested in other facets of my bowling. I can bowl a lot better, and it was frustrating at times, but it was a massive team effort."
