England (261-8) beat Bangladesh (260-6) by two wickets to win the series.
Eoin Morgan's magnificent unbeaten 110 guided England to series victory over Bangladesh after a middle order collapse brought them to the brink of an embarrassing defeat in Mirpur.
Morgan's hitting plucked England from a sticky situation as they chased down 261 from a precarious 229-8 in the second one-day international.
Captain Alastair Cook earlier made 60 before joining the rest of the top four in the pavilion.
Morgan and fifth wicket partner Matt Prior steadied the innings with a stand of 90 but Prior's demise for 42 was the first of four wickets to tumble in the space of six overs, sending an excitable home crowd into near frenzy.
However, Morgan, with a little help from debutant James Tredwell, saw England home with two fours and a six off the penultimate over.
Bangladesh got the perfect start when Shafiul Islam dismissed Craig Kieswetter with the third ball of the reply.
After Cook nabbed a quick single, Kieswetter, who made an unconvincing 19 on debut, edged his first ball past the keeper for four before feeding Imrul Kayes at first slip.
Shafiul then beat the off-form Kevin Pietersen's outside edge as the crowd rose in volume.
Cook clipped a first four through the covers off Rubel Hossain and there were two more in the fourth over, one flicked fine by Pietersen and another driven square by the captain.
He hit three boundaries off Shafiul's next over but was fortunate not to be caught from the second, Mahmudullah misjudging the flight and seeing the ball drift over his head.
The noise levels spiked again when Pietersen fell for 18 in the 10th over, leg before to slow left-armer Abdur Razzak to one that straightened.
Razzak, who had Paul Collingwood dropped on two, had his man lbw on the sweep moments later.
Morgan was next up and was quickly working the singles until Shakib Al Hasan returned to bowl a fine maiden to the Dubliner.
Cook passed 50 in 52 balls and heaved six more off Mahmudullah to push England past three figures.
But the 25-year-old was out for 60 in Shakib's next visit, caught, albeit clumsily, at the wicket.
Morgan and Prior survived big lbw shouts but struggled to get the ball into scoring areas as the spin barrage continued.
The Tigers had earlier impressed with a composed performance in the first innings.
There were fewer fireworks than in the 228 all out they made in Sunday's opener but a more mature outlook yielded the right results.
Tamim Iqbal, whose 125 lit up that match, was the man most likely to break the shackles but he fell to Stuart Broad for 30 just one ball after crashing his fifth four of the afternoon.
Aftab Ahmed, promoted to number three after Zunaed Siddique was dropped, lasted a mere five balls before losing his off stump to Tim Bresnan.
At the other end Imrul was dropping anchor for an innings of supreme concentration but few big blows.
When he did try to clear the ropes he was deceived by Graeme Swann's dip and turn and thereafter settled into an innings of gentle accumulation.
In all he made 63 in 113 deliveries before Collingwood reacted quickly to catch a flat chance off Swann. He had put on a stand of 90 alongside Mushfiqur, who then put on 45 for the fifth wicket with Mahmudullah (27).
Like Kayes, Mushfiqur looked to manipulate rather than mow the ball, though his run-rate was more impressive.
When he finally became the second of Bresnan's three victims, he had compiled 76 from 88 balls, with just 20 coming in boundaries.
Naeem Islam (18no) and debutant Suhrawadi Suvo (14no) struck cleanly as the final five overs yielded 45, Suvo cracking Luke Wright for the first six of the day at the death.
