Alastair Cook has hinted that England will make a couple of changes, particularly to their bowling attack, ahead of the second Test against Bangladesh.England wrapped up a 22-run victory within 20 minutes on the fifth morning in Chittagong but Cook, the England captain, suggested they will use the final Test of the series to provide an opportunity for other members of the squad to gain experience ahead of the five-Test series in India that awaits.Im pretty sure there will be some changes, Cook said. If we play the same side early on in the tour, we could have a lot of guys with not much cricket under their belts coming into a crucial Test a bit further down the line. We were clear before we came out here that we would rotate, so Id imagine there might be a couple of changes.Cook made a point of saying that they would be rotating players rather than dropping them. Its certainly more about rotation. In an ideal world we dont want to get to India with people having not played much cricket. There are some fine players who didnt make this team and, with how hot it is and energy levels, to not be playing all seven Test matches will freshen things up. Its certainly more on the bowling side to start with.With Ben Stokes and Moeen Ali looking hard to leave out - they give the side its depth and balance - England may be tempted to rest Stuart Broad, who has now played 99 Tests, and Chris Woakes, while they would also like to give a game to the left-arm spinner Zafar Ansari if possible.While Cook admitted there were times he would have loved to have the fourth spinner in his side, he also expressed his contentment with the current balance of the team and suggested Bangladeshs batsmen in general look a little more comfortable against spin than seam. Certainly it was noticeable that, on the final morning at Chittagong with the game in the balance, Cook put his trust in two seamers who he knew would relish the heat of battle. Broads spell, continued from overnight, may well represent his best bowling display in Asia, while Stokes was named Man of the Match for his skill, maturity and persistence with bat and ball.While it does not reflect brilliantly upon Englands spinners that they were not trusted to bowl on a fifth-day pitch that turned from the first ball of the match, it was Englands seamers who offered Cook control throughout the match and whose ability to gain reverse-swing unlocked the Bangladesh batting in both innings.Wed have loved to have the fourth spinner when it was turning, Cook said. But Bangladesh are used to these conditions. They play spin very well.Its nice having that extra seamer for our side. When it does reverse you can keep the pressure on for longer. If you do go double seam like we did after tea on day four for the first half an hour, we didnt go anywhere but then youve got the option of bowling another seamer. It just suits us at the moment. But, yes, there was a time when I was thinking Id love another spinner. But you cant have everything can you?The performance of Englands spinners was intriguing. Moeen took at least three of his wickets with what might reasonably be termed magic deliveries and showed he has the pace and the skill to prosper in these conditions. But he was also the most expensive spinner in the match - he went at 3.75 runs per over - and will know he has to tighten up if he is going to prove effective in India. Adil Rashid, meanwhile, bowled some fine deliveries but struggled with his length and looked a little off the pace in the field. Gareth Batty, meanwhile, relished the battle and was probably the most consistent of Englands spinners. While there were moments he looked a little slow for the conditions, this was generally an impressive return to Test cricket.The spinners bowled pretty well, Cook said. Its a different mentality when the ball spins like that. Very quickly the expectation goes on to the spinners and you think oh you must take wickets. I thought they handled themselves very well despite being a young spin attack in terms of Test experience. We maybe missed length a little bit too much and maybe let the pressure off, but I genuinely believe they will get better.While there were few runs from the top-order batsmen, Cook felt they encountered conditions at their most difficult. So while Gary Ballance looks vulnerable at No. 4 and there might be some logic in resting Jonny Bairstow - who enjoyed an excellent game standing up to the spinners - to provide an opportunity for Jos Buttler to gain some experience with the gloves in these conditions, it does appear England will persist with the same batting line-up.Scoring runs on that wicket was a real credit to us as a side, he said. They were as tough batting conditions as I can remember, certainly early on and against spin. But weve managed to score enough runs to win the game and then take 20 wickets as well. I was pleased with our performance. Was it the best performance? No. But it was a start and its better winning these games and moving on. We showed a lot of character.

LOS ANGELES -- Sprayed champagne and beer flooded the blue carpet in the Dodgers clubhouse. The stench of alcohol hung in the damp air. Wives, kids and a puppy were in on the party with music blaring.The Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated clinching their fourth straight NL West title with the kind of storybook ending this city was built on: winning the crown in Vin Scullys final home game when Charlie Culberson homered with two outs in the 10th inning to beat the Colorado Rockies 4-3 Sunday.It hasnt really sunk in, said Culberson, who made the opening day roster only to flip-flop between the majors and minors during the season.Scully eluded the clubhouse chaos and throng of fans waiting outside the press box named for him, having quietly exited after broadcasting his last game at Dodger Stadium.The 88-year-old Hall of Famer, who has just three games at San Francisco next weekend before ending his 67-year career, bid a public farewell to the team and its 51,962 fans at games end.I was hoping the team would win the game 10-0 and there would be no tension, and it would be a nice easy day, Scully said, looking out at the sea of faces turned toward his booth. Believe me when I tell you, Ive needed you far more than youve needed me.At that, he asked the crowd to indulge what he called a loving gesture and listen to him singing Wind Beneath My Wings that he recorded for his wife, Sandi. As the song played, the couple stood with their arms around each other.A lot of history this weekend, ace Clayton Kershaw said.Under Dave Roberts, the Dodgers became the first NL West team to win four straight division titles, also a first in franchise history. Roberts joined Tom Lasorda (1977) as the only rookie managers to lead the club to a division title.It was a work in progress all year, said Roberts, his eyes burning from champagne. Were going to enjoy it.Culbersons first homer of the season and just sixth of his career landed in the lower left-field seats, touching off wild cheers and a raucous celebration at home plate. The Dodgers charged out of their dugout and surrounded Culberson, jumping up and down. They donned championship T-shirts and hats from carts wheeled on the field.I wanted to see how they did it because everybody on this team believes and thinks that were going to do that next year, Colorado starter Tyler Anderson said after his teams 83rd defeat.The Dodgers took off their caps, turned toward the broadcast booth and held them in a salute to Scully, nattily attired in his usual long-sleeved shirt and tie despite the 95-degree heat. He began with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1950 and is the longest tenured broadcaster with a single team in professional sports.What a special day, third baseman Justin Turner said. Its an incredible feeling.Catcher Yasmani Grandal partied with his puppy, Taz, after the players jogged the warning track exchanging high-fives with fans.The Dodgers provided plenty of drama for Scully to describe.Yeah, Vin has a lot of pull, Colorado manager Walt Weiss said.Corey Seager homered with two outs in the ninth off Adam Ottavino, tying the game 3-all. It was the roookies 190th hit of the season to go with a single in the first and triple in the seventh.ddddddddddddDavid Dahls two-out homer snapped a 2-all tie in the ninth off closer Kenley JansenSeagers triple rolled into the right-field corner, tying the game 2-all and chasing Rockies starter Tyler Anderson.Culberson contributed three hits, tying his career high, and is 7 for 14 in seven games this month.Its the way its been all year, different guys doing different things to win games, said Kershaw, his hair soaked and wife Ellen and young daughter Cali nearby.Joe Blanton (7-2) pitched the 10th to get the victory.Boone Logan (2-5) took the loss in relief.The Dodgers trailed 2-1 after Yasiel Puigs sacrifice fly in the third.Colorado took a 2-0 lead in the third on Dustin Garneaus RBI double in the right field corner and Charlie Blackmons sacrifice fly.Brandon McCarthy came off the disabled list (right hip stiffness) earlier in the day to make his first start for the Dodgers since Aug. 13. He replaced Rich Hill, who skipped his scheduled start for precautionary reasons because of a recurrence of blisters on the index finger of his left pitching hand.McCarthy gave up two runs and four hits in 5 1/3 innings, struck out six and walked one. He hasnt won since July 9 against San Diego.Anderson allowed two runs and 10 hits in 6 1/3 innings. The left-hander struck out one and walked two.Several Dodgers tipped their helmets or saluted toward Scully in his booth before stepping into the box for their first at-bats.Some of Scullys grandchildren popped into the booth between innings, sharing hugs and kisses before he put his headset back on. Fans chanted VIN! VIN! VIN! between innings when video tributes to him were aired. A sheepish Scully covered his face with his hands, having said earlier that all the attention was embarrassing.COUNTING DOWNScullys final three games will be next weekend at San Francisco. He wont do the three-game series in San Diego starting Tuesday, having long ago reduced his travel.REMEMBERING FERNANDEZThere was a moment of silence for Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez before the game. He was killed in a boating accident early Sunday in Miami. Fellow Cuban Yasiel Puig used pieces of white athletic tape to secure Fernandezs jersey to the wall of the Dodgers dugout. The flags in center field were lowered to half-staff.TURNSTILES CLICKINGThe announced attendance of 51,962 brought the Dodgers season total to 3,703,312, their fourth consecutive year leading the major leagues.UP NEXTRockies: Theyre off Monday before opening a three-game series at San Francisco.
