22.1 88.2 kph, Tamim falls! And Tredwell picks up his first wicket in Test cricket. The ball was flighted on middle and Tamim went for the sweep, but was beaten in the flight and the ball appeared to strike the glove and the forearm and loop up gently onto the leg side, where Prior ran round and dived to take the catch. The replays are inconclusive as to whether he actually got a touch on that, but he’s been given out, and that’ll be a relief for England! 119/2 |

8.5 130.7 kph, excellent catch this time! Imrul this time drove loosely and the ball ballooned towards the right of Finn at mid off. With the ball dying on him, he ran in and dived and held on to a fine catch. Poor shot to get out to 53/1 |

23.3 86.0 kph, Swann strikes! Jahurul falls for a duck on debut! Jahurul went back to defend, but the ball turned more than he expected, beating the bat and thumping into the pad. Swann went up in an appeal straight away, and replays suggest that the ball was, indeed, just going to clip leg stump. Bangladesh tottering now after that scorching start 122/3 |

57.1 134.7 kph, and he picks up a wicket with his first ball! The ball was pitched up and shaped away from the right-hander. Mahmudullah didn’t get his foot to the pitch, and his weight was still on the back foot, and so he ended up slicing the drive to backward point to give Collingwood a very easy catch. He had played well for his half-century, but Bangladesh really needed him to push on for a big score. 226/5 |

62.5 80.7 kph, gone this time! Shakib couldn’t resist another attacking stroke, this time a sweep and he’s taken on the back leg…huge appeal from Tredwell and that’s his second Test wicket as the finger goes up. Big breakthrough for England after tea 254/6 |

82.5 136.1 kph, that is an absolute beauty! He’s kept it on that length all over and now he’s got the reward. Once again, Rahim went back to defend but this time the ball jagged away from him and bounced just enough to take the shoulder of the bat. Prior makes no mistake behind the stumps. That’s really a great effort from Bresnan to draw some life from this flat wicket, and Bangladesh lose another one! 301/7 |

87.1 87.6 kph, Gone! The ball was pitched full and straight, Razzak’s feet went nowhere and his bat swished across the line as the ball thudded into the pad. Swann and the ring of close fielders went up in unison, and he looked plumb even from the first sighting. Swann strikes again with the first ball of a new spell! 314/8 |

Quotes
“We bowled, I think, nine maidens in 145 overs [138.3]. It’s ridiculous, and it’s not good enough. Test cricket should be a game where you have to work a lot harder for your runs, but we couldn’t bowl one side of the wicket, and when we wanted to bowl at the wickets we couldn’t do that either.”
Jamie Siddons doesn’t pull any punches when assessing Bangladesh’s bowling in the first Test.
“They were probably very close to the mark and Swanny has apologised, but we want to play hard, aggressive cricket and our disciplinary record over the last couple of years has been exceptional.”
Alastair Cook wants his team to maintain an aggressive approach.
