Half-centuries from Sam Billings and Ben Duckett helped England to a four-wicket win over Bangladesh in the third ODI to secure a 2-1 series win. Steelers Jerseys . Billings made 62 and Duckett 63 as Englands batsmen showed their class throughout, chasing down 277 to condemn Bangladesh to their first defeat in a home ODI series since 2014. Nick Knight speaks with Adil Rashid, Ben Stokes, Mashrafe Mortaza and Jos Buttler during the presentation Adil Rashid had been the pick of the England bowlers, taking 4-43, as Bangladesh reached 277-6 in their 50 overs to leave England with what appeared to be an extremely challenging chase on a spinning wicket.England proved to be more than up for that challenge though, helped by slightly improved batting conditions, and Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes got them over the line with 13 balls to spare.Jos Buttler earlier won the toss for the third match in succession and promptly invited Bangladesh to have a bat. The hosts got off to a good start with Tamim Iqbal and Imrul Kayes taking advantage as the England bowlers too often looked to bang the ball in short on a pitch lacking in any real pace. The result was opening stand of 80, Bangladeshs best against England in an ODI, before Ben Stokes (1-24) made the breakthrough.It all looked rather too easy as Kayes (46) flicked a harmless enough delivery straight to substitute fielder Liam Dawson at square leg.Tamim (45), having gone past 5,000 ODI runs earlier in his knock, was the next to go, Rashid deceiving him with a dragged-down googly; James Vince the fielder on hand to take the catch at cover.While the ball was spinning viciously, it was another long-hop that brought Rashid his second wicket. He teased Mahmudullah with three beautiful leg-spinners before appearing to let him off the hook with a horrible short ball that was launched over the long on for six. Adil Rashid was the pick of the England bowlers, taking 4-43 However, rather than repeat the shot when the next ball was dragged down, Mahmudullah (6) thumped it straight to Jonny Bairstow at short extra cover.Sabbir Rahman (49) remained and was batting positively - sharing a 54-run partnership with Mushfiqur Rahim - before he was undone by a beauty from Rashid; the leggie getting it to drift in slightly, spin sharply away and take a feint nick through to Buttler. Trevor Bayliss told Nasser Hussain that he believes the future of English white-ball cricket is looking bright Shakib Al Hasan (4) was the next to go, stumped off the bowling of Moeen Ali (1-42), although there was more than a hint of fortune as the ball bounced out of Buttlers gloves and onto the stumps with the batsman out of his crease.Rashid then took his final wicket - a full toss that was hit to midwicket by Nasir Hossain (4), Vince taking the catch above his head.Mushfiqur remained and after being dropped by Stokes on 46, he smashed the next ball for six to bring up his half-century - the first time he had passed 50 in 21 international innings. Mushfiqur Rahim top-scored for Bangladesh with 67 not out He was not done there, finishing unbeaten on 67, having put on 85 with Mosaddek Hossain (38no) for the seventh wicket as Bangladesh posted a highly-competitive 277-6.Englands reply got off to a steady start with an injury to Jason Roy seeing the tourists put out a new opening pairing of James Vince and Billings.Billings, playing only his sixth ODI innings, looked positive from the start; working the ball effortlessly into the legside and picking up his first boundary with a drive through extra cover.Vince (32) also looked in decent nick before he was trapped lbw by Nasir as moved across his stumps and looked to play with the spin.That brought Ben Duckett to the crease and he joined forces with Billings to consolidate Englands solid start.Billings was going well, sweeping and reversing sweeping with authority, while Duckett, having struggled to pierce the infield early on, got himself moving with a six over midwicket. Ben Duckett hit his second fifty of the series in Chittagong The reward for Billings came as he reached his maiden ODI fifty in the 19th over but he was aghast to top-edge a sweep shot off Mosaddek straight to the man in the deep not long afterwards.Duckett followed Billings to fifty, his second of the series, in the 30th over as England continued to tick along nicely.However, when Bairstow (15) was bowled by Shafiul Islam playing a wild hack across the line and Duckett was brilliantly caught by Mushfiqur down the legside attempting a ramp shot off the same bowler, England were wobbling slightly at 179-4.With 99 still needed to win, Buttler joined Stokes in the middle and the pair showed all their experience as they coolly move England to within sight of victory. England lift the series trophy after winning the 3rd One Day International match in Chittagong A setback came in the 41st over as Buttler (25) dragged on to Mashrafe Mortaza. The Bangladesh celebrations were rather more muted than in the second ODI but the wicket of the England skipper did ensure their chances of victory remained very much alive.The home fans disagreed and continued to head for the exits in their droves but they could have been forgiven for trying to get back in as Moeen Ali (1) chipped Mortaza to mid-on with England still 42 shy of their victory target. Watch Chris Woakes smash the winning runs over long off to help England claim a 2-1 series win over Bangladesh Stokes and Chris Woakes whittled that down to 21 from as many balls before, having driven gloriously through the covers for four the previous ball, Woakes edge Taskin Ahmed to first slip, only for Kayes to juggle and, ultimately, shell the catch.The error was then compounded as Woakes powered another drive away for four, to leave England needing 17 from the final three overs.Stokes proceeded to thump the first ball of the 48th over back over Shafiuls head for six and from there the result looked a mere formality and Woakes finished it off with another straight six from the penultimate ball of the same over.You can watch Liverpool v Man Utd in the Premier League, plus Englands tour of Bangladesh and the British Masters on Sky Sports.

Tim Duncan could have easily gone out on top, with his fifth NBA championship trophy under his arm and his health intact just a few months after his 38th birthday. Theres just no way. Duncan is having too much fun with his San Antonio Spurs coaches and teammates, and hes playing too well to call it quits now. Duncan has decided to exercise the option on his contract for 2014-15 and will return next season, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Monday. The person requested anonymity because an official announcement has not been made. As the Spurs beat the two-time defending champion Miami Heat in the NBA Finals earlier this month, Duncan was asked several times about his future, as he has been for the last five or six years. He was noncommittal, saying he would take some time after the season ended to mull his decision. But after Game 5, most of the Spurs said they expected the group to return and now Duncan has reached his decision, which was first reported by Yahoo! Sports. He will make about $10.3 million next season in the final year of a two-year agreement that was drawn up specifically to allow the Spurs the financial flexibility to surround Duncan with top-shelf talent. "He feels a responsibility to his teammates," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said after the team won the championship. "He enjoys them. He wants to hang around as long as he can while hes useful and while hes having an impact on the game. He takes care of his body. He works out all summer long with a variety of different things, boxing, swimming. Hes very careful about what he puts in his body, so he does everything he can to maintain a level of play. "At some point," Popovich added, "that will stop." But not this year. When Duncan looked around at the Spurs, he saw every reason to come back and try to do just about the only thing the SSpurs havent done during his 17 years there -- win back-to-back titles. Joe Haden Steelers Jersey. In Popovich he has perhaps the best coach in the game, one who has established a culture of teamwork, success and stability that is unparalleled in the league. In Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, he has two trusted teammates who have been by his side for years, have sacrificed money, fame and statistics right along with him to build the Spurs organization into the envy of the NBA. And in Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard, Duncan has a young, fresh-faced star on the rise to carry more of the load as the Big Three get older. "With the front office putting the teams together that weve had and us playing smaller roles and our roles changing over the years, and us happy to accept the roles that were in, I feel we can do it until we feel we dont want to do it anymore," Duncan said two weeks ago. Perhaps as important as anything, Duncan is still one of the best big men in the league. He was named first team All-NBA in 2012-13 as he helped the Spurs to the finals, where they lost to the Heat in a heart-breaking seven-game series. This season, Duncan averaged 15.1 points, 9.7 rebounds and 1.9 blocks in just 29.2 minutes per game, playing in a system expertly devised by Popovich to limit the wear and tear on his body. He shot almost 57 per cent in the finals and dismantled Heat star Chris Bosh, who grew up with a Duncan poster on his bedroom wall. "Weve been on our last run for the last five or six years from how everyone wants to put it," Duncan said. "We show up every year, and we try to put together the best teams and the best runs possible because what people say doesnt matter to us. "As I said, as long as we feel were being effective, were going to stay out here and were going to play. We feel like we can be effective, and we have been." ' ' '
