2nd npower test match
England vs Bangladesh
Chester-le-Street
Day 1
Stumps
England 265-2 (1st Innings) 50 Overs
M. Vaughan 122*(100) Mohammad Rafique 1-43
G. Thorpe 45*(44) Mashrafe 1-63
M. Trescothick 57(109)
Bangladesh 147 all out (1st Innings) 34.5 Overs
England lead by 118 runs, 8 wickets in hand
Paul Allot: So some fantasic cricket from England has seen them take a pretty huge lead at the end of day 1. Superb aggressive batting from the captain, Michael Vaughan who finishes unbeaten on 122 from just 100 balls, and Graham Thorpe, unbeaten on 45 from 44 balls. Not to mention Marcus Trescothick's 57 which started England's run chase.
Nasser Hussain: Yes and from the look of things, England want to finish off this game as soon as possible. They have really gone into one day mode and scoring above 5 runs per over in a test match on the first day is unheard of. Bangladesh really are looking absolutely helpless and lost.

David Gower: Welcome back. So at the end of the first day's play, England find themselves
comfortably on top. They already lead Bangladesh 1st innings score by 118 runs and still have
eight wickets in hand.
Now, Ian, things really arent looking good for Bangladesh?
Ian Botham: Well they havent got a clue about what to do. They dont have the tools. Lets face
it, they are lacking the experience and the talent required, and are just simply being outclassed
by a much better team.
David Gower: And Nasser, do you think England will taking anything out of this ahead of the Ashes?
Nasser Hussain: Some really good stats and some really confident bunch of cricketers. Well this is
ideal practice for England. You have 11 other players fielding and bowling for you, and you can enjoy
and get your shots and your timing right. I think England in terms of morale and confidence will be
gaining a lot from this test series. The important thing however is that they dont become complacent.
David Gower: Well against the Aussies, you cant afford to be complacent. Well thats all we have today,
do join us tomorrow for LIVE action of Day 2 of this test match. Can England wrap it up under two days?
Well I guess we'll just have to wait and watch.
Till then, its goodbye.

The Aussies have arrived
Ricky Ponting's Australian team has arrived in England for their three month long tour
Australia are scheduled to play a Twenty20 match against England, The Natwest Series also involving England and Bangladesh, and the Natwest Challenge against England before the all important 5 test match Ashes series.
And this year's Ashes is expected to be a tough fight, as both Australia and England are now ranked the the top two sides in the world. World Champions Australia have not lost the Ashes since 1986, while Michael Vaughan's England side havent lost a test series at home since 2001, when they were beaten by Steve Waugh's Australian side.
Australian captain, Ricky Ponting is fully aware of the fact that beating England this time around will be very difficult.
"We're all looking forward to it tremendously," admitted Ponting.
"It's been built up big time already and coupling that with a seven-week break the guys have had, they're all very keen to get over here and get things started.
"The Ashes is always a big tour for us and this one is going to be a bit more special considering it's going to be number one against number two in the world.
"You would think this would be the most competitive of the recent Ashes series. We've always looked forward to and cherished Ashes battles in the past.
"England have always had very good teams coming up against us over the last 20 years, but this side have certainly achieved a lot of great things over the past year or so.
"Their Test record speaks for itself and you don't get to the number two ranked team in the world without achieving a lot and they've certainly done that. "We've got some homework to do over the next couple of weeks before the start of the Test series but hopefully we can start spot on."
"It'll work well for us and we'll have lots of cricket under our belt once the Tests come around," Ricky Ponting said.
"We're not just here to prepare for the Test series because we have the one-day series to play first and that's our main focus right now."
Australia have not played competitive cricket since the fifth Test against New Zealand in late-March.
"It's an advantage for us the way the summer has panned out and us having a long break before we came here," Australia skipper Ponting added.
"We have 10 one-dayers before the first Test and England will be at the end of a summer of cricket, which is probably a good time to be playing them."
