As England prepare to face Bangladesh at the World Cup, ecb.co.uk looks back to the two sides' meeting in the 2007 competition.
The Tigers had beaten both India and South Africa in the tournament and at one point England looked set for the same fate in the Super Eights as they struggled in pursuit of 144, threatening to waste a fine effort by their bowlers and Sajid Mahmood in particular.
But Paul Collingwood and Paul Nixon ensured England avoided becoming another casualty, eventually winning by four wickets.
The early Bangladesh wickets came via some unorthodox fielding, to say the least. Michael Vaughan clumsily dropped Shahriar Nafees and frustratedly hurled the ball to wicketkeeper Nixon to somehow run out the dawdling Habibul Bashar.
Nafees then edged Mahmood to Nixon, who parried it straight to Andrew Strauss at second slip.
Andrew Flintoff cleaned up Mushfiqur Rahim and some trademark James Anderson swing lured edges behind from Mohammad Ashraful and Aftab Ahmed before Monty Panesar got in on the act with 3-25. Mahmood then wrapped the innings up for figures of 3-27, with Shakib Al Hasan left unbeaten on 57.
Ian Bell fell early in England's reply but Vaughan and Strauss' partnership of 41 contained some fine shots from both men before the latter was given out lbw to Syed Rasel.
Vaughan holed out for 30 and Kevin Pietersen drilled a catch straight to midwicket, but Flintoff made a rapid 23 including a monstrous six off Mohammad Rafique before being bowled by the left-arm spinner.
Ravi Bopara followed to leave England 110 for six, still needing 34, but some restrained batting and aggressive running from Nixon and Collingwood secured victory with five overs to spare.
Defeat to South Africa meant a thrilling one-wicket win over West Indies was not enough to see England into the semi-finals, where Australia beat the Proteas before seeing off Sri Lanka in a final that ended bizarrely in near darkness.
