Nick Knight speaks with Jos Buttler and Mashrafe Mortaza during the presentation for the second ODI between Bangladesh and England.

England captain Jos Buttler says it was Bangladesh's "disappointing" celebrations at his dismissal that provoked an angry reaction.

Buttler had to be held back by the umpires during a heated confrontation during the second one-day international in Dhaka, after he was pinned lbw on review by Taksin Ahmed while on 57.

England slumped to a 34-run defeat that levelled the three-game series 1-1 and set up a decider in Chittagong on Wednesday.

Buttler said: "I was just a little bit disappointed in the fashion they celebrated; mainly by running towards me and giving me a bit of a send-off.

The best of the action as Bangladesh beat England by 34 runs in the second ODI to level the three-match series at 1-1.

"You don't have to run up to a guy. I'm disappointed to get out but emotions were running high. They were obviously delighted to get the wicket. Maybe I should have just walked away."

Ben Stokes also clashed with Tamim Iqbal as the two teams shook hands at the end of the match and Buttler's vice-captain subsequently tweeted: "I won't stand for someone putting a shoulder to my teammate at handshakes."

And Buttler added: "Obviously emotions ran high and Ben is an emotional guy, but he would not have reacted like that if nothing had happened.

"I thought our first 50 overs were fantastic, I thought we bowled brilliantly up-front. If things had gone our way nearer the end we could have, maybe, bowled them out for 190-200.

Nasser Hussain has lauded Jos Buttler's commitment to the team following his outburst in the second ODI against Bangladesh.

"They played some good shots and it got away from us a little bit, but I still feel that 240 was a really chaseable score.

"The only thing that really disappoints me is that I thought we were a little bit tentative. I thought we could have, maybe, gone out there and tried to stamp our authority on the run chase - that's what we want to be as a side now.

"I'd rather be 60-3 off 10 than trying to work our way there. We haven't got loads and loads of games under our belt but I think that's the way we want to play and live by."
