Collingwood Can't Hack It Anymore
Paul Collingwood made a measly 27 before falling victim to Bangladesh. Collingwood tried flicking off his waist but it took off his bat in the air and Habibul Bashar was in the right place at the right time to bend over and take the catch. That meant Syed Rasel picked up his first wicket of the game

Flintoff In A Disappointing Display
Andrew Flintoff didn't last long at the crease and Pietersen must be worried about losing all his partners out on the field. Previously Flintoff looked in good shape playing defensive shots and then launched an assault with three straight fours. Flintoff then went for a defensive stroke but didn't think the ball would of caught his leg. Clever bowling from Nazmul Hossain

Looking bleak, I guess that world class Bangladesh bowling was really getting to Collingwood....

However very interesting story, well done!

England Continue To Fall
England wicket keeper Geraint Jones piled on the misery for England. Mortaza continues to rage through the England batting order. Jones went to drive the ball for a boundary but didn't catch the ball full on and it looped in the air to Bashar. England must be kicking themselves at the moment

Giles Doesn't Make A Stand
Rock solid Ashley Giles had to put out an helping hand to Kevin Pietersen but didn't do much help for Pietersen and England. Giles was just looking to stablise himself with Pietersen. A thick inside edge and some bad luck saw the end of Ashley. Again Mortaza runs riot and England can't handle him

Plunkett Shows His Qualities
Liam Plunkett who was a doubt to play in this match has shown why he should be an England regular. Plunkett was thrown in at the deepend after a batting collapse by everyone who's attempted anything big. Plunkett has plodded along and raced past Pietersen who's known for his attacking abilities. Plunkett is now 53 not out hitting 11 fours in the process

Brave Liam Plunkett Loses His Battle
England bowler Plunkett put in a terrific display getting up to 64 (His best batting score yet) to pull England up from a poor display so far in Dhaka. Plunkett who was full of confidence went for a drive off the back foot and the ball just carried to Saleh who took a clean catch

Pietersen Gets to the 50 mark
England ace Kevin Pietersen didn't quite race to a 50 but was as solid as a rock and looks really good at the moment. Pietersen nailed the only 6 of the innings knocking Mortaza over the rope. No doubt Pietersen will want to roll on to a century

Pietersen Goes
Kevin Pietersen got bored of playing games and took the attack to Bangladesh but then got put on the ropes with some top draw deliveries from Syed Rasel and Pietersen didn't judge the delivery properly and got tangled in front of the wicket. Off he went back to the stands

The End For England
Matthew Hoggard is known for his defensive play was at the opposite. Both Hoggard and Harmison decided the time had come for an attacking presence. Harmison took 14 runs off 3 balls and shook up Bangladesh. Hoggard couldn't keep up and eventually went for 23 runs

Shaky start by England but still a decent effort in recovering to a modest 289, though would be far from pleased. This is really good presentation :)

Bangladesh Pile On More Misery
England are failing to do what Bangladesh did to them and that's looking to take wickets. Flintoff, Harmison, Hoggard, Plunkett have all had little peridos against the 2 openers but can't open anything up. Giles and Collingwood have come in for a short spell and both looked dangerous but nothings happening for them. England look doomed at the minute
