Alex Hales made a long-awaited ICC Cricket World Cup debut and scored a brisk 27 - but he couldn't prevent England from crashing out of the tournament at the hands of Bangladesh.
England looked to be cruising towards their victory target of 276 as the Nottinghamshire man crashed Mashrafe Mortaza for successive boundaries, taking the score to 97-1 in the 20th over.
But a thin nick behind ended the Nottinghamshire right-hander's innings off the very next ball and - with James Taylor in and out for a single batting at number six - Eoin Morgan's men collapsed to 163-6.
Jos Buttler's 65 off 52 balls and Chris Woakes' unbeaten 42 off 40 put them back in with a shout, but the dismissal of the Lancashire wicketkeeper at 238-7 - quickly followed by the controversial runout of Chris Jordan without scoring - proved to be fatal blows.
Stuart Broad, who had earlier taken 1-52 to help restrict the Tigers to 275-6, briefly raised English hopes with a timely six over midwicket, only to depart clean bowled for nine with 16 still required for victory.
And when James Anderson suffered the same fate just two balls later for nought, England's fate was sealed.
Those braving the early morning start had previously been treated to a historic century from Mohammad Mahmudulla; the first World Cup ton by a Bangladeshi.
The middle-order batsman scored 103 off 138 balls with seven fours and two sixes as the underdogs recovered from 8-2 and later 99-4.
Anderson was the pick of the England bowlers with two for 45, including the scalp of former Outlaw Tamim Iqbal who was pouched by Joe Root at second-slip for two.
"We've picked guys who can play a brand of cricket that if we performed we could win this World Cup but ultimately we haven't performed," Captain Morgan commented.
"It's pretty poor, obviously to be knocked out of a World Cup this early is unbelievably disappointing.
"I'm gutted at the moment. We've struggled and fought away since we arrived here.
"One of our big things was to fight quite hard and to try and get through to the quarter-finals and then from there fight our way through the last three games but obviously that's not meant to be.
"It ultimately comes down to performance and today was an example of where some of our guys performed but we didn't perform as a unit and we've done it for quite a while now.
"Since we've landed in Australia we've tried to address that problem but it hasn't worked."
