Paul Collingwood steered England to a six-wicket victory with a clinical innings of 75 not out in the first one-day international against Bangladesh in Mirpur.

His efforts ensured England maintained their 100 per cent record against the hosts in all formats but they did not have everything their own way at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, with Tamim Iqbal producing the stand-out performance of the day with a commanding 125 in his side's 228 all out.

Alastair Cook got the reply off to a positive start with 64 at the head of the innings before England lost three wickets for 23 runs.

Collingwood eased any pressure with a nerveless 100-ball stay and scampered the winning single with four overs remaining.

Cook took centre stage at the start of the reply. He faced every ball of the first three overs, helping himself to 14 along the way.

When Somerset's Craig Kieswetter did get the strike, Shakib Al Hasan brought himself on and immediately subdued him with spin.

Kieswetter, more used to pace on the ball, had two lucky escapes in the space of his first six balls – edging one through the wicketkeeper's legs and surviving a good shout for lbw.

Cook progressed undaunted as he set about adding 40 of the first 50 runs. His own half-century was up soon after, off 44 balls, but Kieswetter's patience broke and he was stumped for 19 off the bowling of Naeem Islam.

Kevin Pietersen lasted only five balls as he was questionably given caught at slip off the nagging Shakib.

Cook and Collingwood looked ready to dig in until the former was seen off by a poor leg-before verdict that gave Naeem a second success and left the tourists on 96-3.

Bangladesh's fourth spinner, Mahmudullah, entered the fray in the 25th over, by which point Eoin Morgan had joined Collingwood.

The Irishman reverse-swept the all-rounder for four, following up with a driven boundary off Shakib in the following over.

Collingwood was also keeping the score moving at his end and despatched Abdur Razzak to mid-wicket for his fifth four of the day.

Morgan was reprieved on 20 and 21 – from a missed stumping and another poor umpiring decision.

Collingwood, though, needed none of it and moved serenely to a 25th one-day 50 in 64 deliveries with a lofted four and dabbed single.

Bangladesh's attack was becoming a little ragged and the boundary count spiked accordingly until Morgan (33) handed Naeem a third wicket when he sprayed to cover.

England required 45 when Matt Prior joined Collingwood, the wicketkeeper scoring 30 of them in a neat cameo.

Tamim had earlier excelled with a fine century. That knock included 13 fours and three sixes, two of them in a frenetic bout of hitting.

But, having been put down by Morgan at cover on only 10, Tamim also impressed with his restraint in the middle overs.

Tim Bresnan first removed Imrul Kayes (15) before Zunaed Siddique, caught off Stuart Broad for a duck, and Aftab Ahmed, run out by Pietersen, followed him back.

From then on Tamim settled into a series of less explosive partnerships with Shakib (12), Mushfiqur Rahim (22) and Naeem (25), as he set about nudging his side beyond 200.

There was still time for a third big six, though, lifted high over the ropes off Collingwood before the fun ended when Broad bowled him round his legs.

England were solid with the ball and off-spinner Graeme Swann impressed with 3-32. Luke Wright took the wicket of Naeem with the first delivery of his solitary over and Broad closed with 2-46 after sustaining some early blows.
