Bangladesh knocked England out of the World Cup with a sensational 15-run Pool A victory at the Adelaide Oval on Monday to make the quarter-finals.
Rubel Hossain was Bangladesh's star at the finish, clean bowling Stuart Broad and last man James Anderson to seal victory for the Tigers as England finished on 260 all out chasing a target of 276.
Earlier, Bangladesh -- who had been eight for two -- made 275 for seven after being sent into bat, with Mohammad Mamudullah (103) compiling the country's first individual World Cup hundred and Mushfiqur Rahim making 89.
Defeat meant England -- whose only win at the tournament so far has been against non-Test Scotland -- couldn't claim a quarter-final place but Bangladesh's victory saw them into the last eight along with Sri Lanka.
New Zealand and Australia complete the qualifying picture from Pool A for the quarter-finals.

Highlights of England innings
48.3 overs
OUT! It's all over! Rubel Hossain angles a full ball on middle and off, James Anderson looks to go onside and misses.

OUT! Castled! Rubel Hossain gets hit third! Angles a pitched up ball on middle and off, Stuart Broad looks to tuck it to the onside but is beaten completely by the line as the ball rockets through his off-stump. 16 more required of 11 balls.
45.6 overs
RUN OUT! Eighth one down! Taskin Ahmed angles a good length ball on off, Chris Jordan nudges it towards covers. Jordan looking for a run is half way down as Chris Woakes sends him back. Shakib Al Hasan gets there and darts in a direct hit at the striker's end. Jordan dives to make his ground and manages to get his bat in but the bat lobs up with the impact of the dive and Jordan is on his way back.
45.5 overs
OUT! What a strike from Taskin Ahmed and the main man Jos Buttler is gone! Good length ball outside off, Buttler looks to run it down to third man and gets an outside edge. Keeper Mushfiqur Rahim obliges and takes a comfortable catch to dismiss Buttler. 38 more required off 25 balls now.
35.4 overs
OUT! Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza strikes again and gets the breakthrough! Peach of a delivery, almost unplayable in the channel around off. Joe Root feels for it outside his off-stump, looking to defend as the ball moves away a tad and gets the faintest of nicks. Keeper Mushfiqur Rahim does not miss out and takes an easy catch.
29.4 overs
OUT! Taskin Ahmed strikes! Good length ball around off, James Taylor is set in his crease and slashes at it trying to play a late cut but lands up getting an outside edge to Imrul Kayes at first slip. Half the side back in the hut now.

OUT! The England skipper is gone for a duck! Rubel Hossain bangs it in short on middle and off, Eoin Morgan goes for the pull but does not get the elevation and finds the man in the deep. Shakib Al Hasan runs in and takes a good catch near the ropes. Two quick wickets from Rubel and Bangladesh are looking good here.
26.1 overs
OUT! Absolute beauty! Rubel Hossain bowls a good length ball around off, the ball generated some extra bounce as Ian Bell is taken aback and squared up as he looks to upper cut it. The faintest of outside edges as keeper Mushfiqur Rahim collects the catch behind the stumps and the set batsman has to take the long walk back.
19.5 overs
OUT! Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza strikes! In the channel around off and on a good length, Alex Hales simply looking to poke at it gets the outside edge and keeper Mushfiqur Rahim completes the catch behind the stumps.
7.2 overs
RUN OUT! Spinner Arafat Sunny drops in a fuller ball on the pads, Moeen Ali clips it to mid on. A yes and a no as Ali is half way down the track looking for a single. Soumya Sarkar throws it accurately to the striker's end as Ali puts in a dive. Keeper Mushfiqur Rahim collects it and clips the bails to get rid of Ali.
