**Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

[Burgey]

Salmon trout for sure.

Fantastic dayboo

Smallest edge ever I reckon on the technology there.

 

[Starfighter]

Just the tiniest little spike to do it these days.

Overall a below par innings from England. It'll be interesting to see if they adapt or go down the Aus route.

Good morning for Deshi's. Under 300 is great effort from start of play for them, we have a decent score but will need to bowl really well.

Steven Finn's tash is horrific

From 21-3 I think they will be quite happy actually. At least they have a score on the board and are in the game.

That ad on the feed with the bird in the wooden boat on the lake loks like something out of the Bangladesh version of The Bachelorette.

Also when you consider that Cook (and Root?) have scored in these conditions before it looks more promising than for Aus in SL.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah not the worst, 350 was possible there though, some wickets at really annoying times.

We going to open with spin I wonder.

 

[vcs]

Batting last on this pitch, Bangladesh would want at the very least a 50-run first innings lead, you'd think. Tough ask.

 

[Burgey]

England are playing three spinners aren't they? Rashid, Ali and Batty?

Also when you consider that Cook (and Root?) have scored in these conditions before it looks more promising than for Aus in SL.

Considering Australia made one score higher than this in 6 innings it looks a fair bit more promising

 

[Starfighter]

2.5. I don't believe Rashid and Moeen are quite whole spinners.

 

[91Jmay]

England have already managed to waste more time than Bangladesh did in nearly 100 overs

Disappointing turn out from the locals - if they're not going to be interested enough to watch the second day of a Test after a first day like that when will they be?

I think they have work/school

 

[91Jmay]

England's spinners average 160 LOL

 

[fredfertang]

I hope Cook hasn't been in the company of bookmakers

 

[Starfighter]

Inauspicious from Batty on return.

 

[Adders]

Wow. Surprised that Cook is going for the spinner, not saying he shouldn't I'm just surprised he's actually done it.
