An unbeaten half-century from Bangladesh U19 batsman Towhid Hridoy saw his side beat England U19 by six wickets in their one-day tour match at Worcester.

The 18-year-old hit 70 not out from 86 balls to see his side home with just under 12 overs to spare after England had set the visitors 201 runs to win at Blackfinch New Road.

The result is England's second defeat in as many days after their five-wicket defeat to India at the same venue.

England won the toss once again and decided to bat but struggled for top-order runs once more as they slipped from 49 for 1 to 87 for 6 with just over half of overs in the innings played.

Lewis Goldsworthy's unbeaten 69 and Kasey Aldridge's half-century brought some respectability back to the England scorecard as they posted 200 for 7 from their 50 overs.

George Hill's side dismissed Bangladesh's openers cheaply, but a mammoth 114-run middle overs partnership saw Bangladesh home, with Hridoy scoring an unbeaten 70.
