To take a commanding 2-0 lead in the three-match series, England thrashed Bangladesh by 132 runs in the second One-Day International thanks to an inspirational century from Jason Roy. While England put up a competitive total of 326/7 in fifty overs in Mirpur after being called into bat, Roy hit 132 off 125 balls. Yet at the very end of England’s innings, something shocking happened. After Adil Rashid used his bat to stop Taskin Ahmed’s yorker in the 48th over, the Bangladeshi team protested for a lbw.
But, Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal took a bizarre DRS after the umpire had dismissed the appeals from the home players. Rashid’s pad was not even close to the ball, according to the replays. Social media has been buzzing about the incident.

In response to this DRS review, fans on social media are expressing a variety of reactions. In their comments, fans also referred to it as the worst review they had ever read.
With one encounter remaining in the series, the victory gave hosts England vital experience playing on spinning, low-bounce South Asian grounds before the 50-over World Cup in India later this year.
Following Roy’s 132 off 124 balls, which helped the team reach 326-7, England dismissed Bangladesh for 194 runs in 44.4 overs. This was the highest ODI score by a team in Dhaka in more than five years.
