*Official* England in Bangladesh

Kinda find it hard to believe Swann hasn't had a bowl this session. He better get the ball after drinks.
Slightly mystifying, yes. But Treaders and Bres, particularly, are both bowling well. Tiny Tim's got the old ball going both ways.

&, right on cue, Swanneh replaces Treadwell.

TBF Cook's at least having a go. Kinda. Two slips and a gully for Finn. Decent pace from the young bloke too, that one was 88mph.
Was genuinely interested in why Swann wasn't being bowled. Haven't seen a ball so was more just asking.

Good to know Cook is attacking.
We'll win this comfortably FTR
I have money on Eng, so hope that is the case.

Feel dirty though, it'd be so good for Bangs to beat England, just like I'm sure you'd love Bang to beat India. :p

Big turn from the great man now. Think Mushfiqur doesn't know whether to stick or twist. Could see a few rash shots sometime soon.

Knew he's a short bloke, but his lack of inches when standing up straight is really quite freaky. Makes Prior look a giant.

Loose shot from Rahim and he's bowled thru the gate. Some justice as Broad had a serviceable LBW shout turned down the ball before. We're still comfortably in credit on that front tho.

EDIT: Doesn't get better on repreated viewings either; airy waft coming forward. Dire.

Ha, four balls left in the day and Shafiul pulls out a massive drive that takes inside edge. Daft cricket.

EDIT: Survives tho. 172/6 at stumps. Should really win from here.

Should have just sent Naeem in IMO. Nightwatchmen might be able to leave and block their way to safety against the pacers, but tailenders are invariably all at sea against quality spin.

Yeah, I always root for Bangas except when they play us

Why was Broad appealing!
Because the batsman had been struck on the front pad outside the line whilst offering no shot. The ball, on Hawkeye's prediction, was hitting off. It was a very fair shout IMHO.
Having seen another replay now, did you mean when he bowled Mushfiqur?

Was having a pop at the umpire for the previous NO decision, IMHO. Silly boy with his recent rap sheet.
