Ben Foakes and his England Under-19 team-mates suffered another defeat in the seventh and final match of their tour of Bangladesh.

Already 4-2 down in the series and playing only for pride, they went down by 76 runs in Dhaka on Saturday.

Essex's Foakes, who plays his club cricket for Colchester and East Essex and lives in Kirby-le-Soken, made 23 are shared a second-wicket partnership worth 64 with Daniel Bell-Drummond.

However, England could only make 161, replying to Bangladesh's total of 237 for five.
