**Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

[fredfertang]

I see my walk to work did the trick again - I shall henceforth refer to it as the 'Gambhiring trail'

 

[weldone]

Still will maintain this pitch will crumble hard soon. BD really I mean really have to make big score in 1st innings. This is the best time

I think 400 will put Bangla in the driver's seat; especially if Mehedi picks up those early wickets. England's tail will invariably wag in both innings, but their top order is fragile.

This series has been played in really good spirit, good to see players getting around him after that hit.

Mate 400 is miles off. There's a much better chance they get rolled for 260ish this evening

Bangladesh batting to lunch tomorrow should win them the game.

These bouncers which nip back in can be so nasty. Is there some way you actually can get it to nip back in intentionally? I've seen Hazelwood do it really often.

Most series not involving Australia are played in good sprit these days tbf.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is terrific bowling.

 

[Adders]

That was a great take by Cook......on the second grab

I still wouldn't put it past Bangers to lose from that situation even if they do bat that long.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Great catch, you have to think the bang on the head played a part in the rush of blood to go on the charge there.

 

[morgieb]

Since when is this 2014? Because that's probably the last time Moeen's actually bowled genuinely well before today.

 

[Zinzan]

Ouch 5 down for 200. 260 very much on the cards now.

 

[andruid]

Come on Bangladesh. Don't fall apart now

 

[weldone]

11/3 in the last 10 overs

 

[cnerd123]

I leave my desk for a meeting and come back an hour and a half later to this

Serves me right for actually trying to get any work done

 

[weldone]

haha now 12/4 in last 10

 

[Scaly piscine]

Stokes batting average now > bowling average, fractionally.

 

[harsh.ag]

Stokes is 30% of this side.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Fantastic session for us. Just hope that Woakes can bowl well after tea as I doubt Stokes has many left even with a short break.
