As expected,Bangladesh have collapsed.

 

[The Champ]

surprising to see no wkts for the opening bowlers there, good performance by the change ups though

 

[gold639]

Yeah thats because the Bangladesh openers did well.

 

[Dhoni]

No surprising that Bangladesh collapsed because that's what happen in real life all the time when they play against a tough team.

 

[gold639]

Yeah but I had the feeling they might build on the good start.

England (1st Innings) 661-5 declared 140 Overs

Bangladesh trail by 376 runs with 8 wickets in hand

David Gower: England wrapped up the Bangladesh 1st innings within 9 balls after tea. Simon Jones had Khaled Mashud out bowled for 9, while Paul Collingwood picked up the wicket to Tapash Baisya. Bangladesh were bowled out for 188, way behind the follow on mark.

Bob Willis: Well professional stuff from England, getting rid of the Bangladeshi tail as soon as possible. Bangladesh hence made to follow on by Michael Vaughan, and they got off the worst possible starts losing Javed Omar in the very first over. James Anderson with a superb yorker to rattle the stumps.

David Gower: Yes, but after that Nafees Iqbal and Habibul Bashar showed some fight, before the former was out caught by Collingwood off Saggers for 40. And at tea, Bangladesh had scored 97 for the loss of two wickets. Habibul Bashar once again is the highest scorer, unbeaten on 47. He is joined by Mohammad Ashraful. Bangladesh still need 376 runs to make England bat again.

Bob Willis: Well you would expect England to win by an innings, but Bangladesh are showing some fight here, so we cant say anything just as yet.
