all you can do is laugh

I hope England elect to follow on, I wouldnt want to bat last on this

Hopefully Tamim can get us off to another commanding position, where we can collapse from

Looking at the highlights I thought England were just too good rather than Bangladesh contributing to their own downfall particularly. Obviously the odd batsman is going to get themselves out somewhat in any innings, but I think England would have knocked over 6-7+ wickets in that session against any side.

Watching the final session of the day ATM and am loving Shahzad's spell. We've been looking for someone capable of bowling with pace and reverse swing, and this lad is capable of that. Generally bowls around 86mph and gets the ball to reverse, he looks a genuine prospect, can see why Flower rates him now. He doesn't have a great FC record, but he looks slightly raw, and it's been mentioned that he's been working on his fitness since his early days at Yorkshire. Enjoyed watching him bowl a lot tonight, maybe resting Broad wasn't such a bad thing after all. The youngsters have stepped up with the ball in this series. Finn has bowled beautifully and now Shahzad's looking good. Delighted they went for him ahead of Sidearse for this Test.

Maybe we could go with 5 bowlers now too? Broad, Swann, Shahzad, Anderson and Finn provides us with some depth in the batting as those first 3 are more than handy and also depth and variety in the bowling. Definitely worth thinking about for the tour to Australia.

Yeah, good post KP. Boycs, with his Yorkie inside knowledge, seems to rate Shahzad pretty highly, which says something.
