England will now turn their attention to the Test series, which starts on Thursday. The first Test will be played at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong, and the visitors will be hoping to carry their ODI form into the longer format of the game.
Overall, it was a great performance from England in the second ODI, and they will be looking to build on this performance in the upcoming Test series. With Roy in such good form, and the bowlers in good rhythm, England will be confident of continuing their winning streak in Bangladesh.
