However, when it came to the Bangladeshi audiences, one incident during the end of the visitors’ innings perhaps had warranted a higher element of surprise.
A familiar England batting collapse left the hosts 16 runs behind New Zealand as wickets tumbled on a frantic first day of the opening test at Lord's on Thursday.
New Zealand’s outstanding five-wicket victory over hot favourites England in the first semifinal of the T20 World Cup is destined to go down as one of the classics, given how the game unfolded.
