**Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

[Adders]

Do we know what the highest amount of reviews in a test is (or was assuming this is it)?

Cook into one of his "attack the spinners" modes he does every now and again, rarely works, but who knows.

Duckett's lofted shot over mid off for four is basically exactly the same shot selection that we all slammed Shakib for earlier tbh.

It's only a **** shot if you do it badly.

I know this **** team so well.. They'll never change. This is why with BD, don't worry about pitches and how it will behave..just sit back and give them time..they will implode on their own.

Well that's life TBH, we don't intend to fail, but when we do we oft get criticised. I agree for what it's worth, smashing Moeen out of the attack is a tactic that has worked a fair few times, notably Misbah, but you **** it up in that situation expect to be slaughtered.

This has probably been asked before, but is this the first time an opening pair has consisted of a debutant and a chap breaking his country's test appearance record?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Darn it. Shame we couldn't last till lunch.

 

[Howe_zat]

Nice bit of bowling, top catch

Balls aren't just turning or not turning, that one sped up after pitching and straightening from around the wicket

Don't think trial by spin is ending any time soon, best get used to it lads

 

[fredfertang]

Can't see this lasting till Monday

Cook looked rusty with bat in both innings. Bangladesh still very much in this game.

 

[grecian]

Well that was a bit of a nothing shot Alastair. Got to say Mehedi still bringing it though, accurate and fizzing.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Smart cricket from the Banglas there. Good line to force the shot, a little drift for the edge and sharp catch.

Brilliant workout for the India trip. Can't say we will be undercooked for the first test there.

 

[Howe_zat]

**** everything

 

[grecian]

Appalling shot, really really bad.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Dreadful shot, surely out.

Groan...
