Tea in my England v Bangladesh Test Match on Hard. I'm using the Broadcast cam for both batting and fielding, I don't know why but it just doesn't feel right to me, maybe it'll grow on me but for now i'm playing the game the old fashioned way.
Bangladesh 152 all out (45.4 overs)
Ashraful 65(133)
Al Hasan 32(65)
Anderson 4/43(15.4)
Swann 3/11
Bangladesh were quite well placed on 109/4 but the quick succesive losses of Ashraful and Shakib proved costly. Anderson swung the ball beautifully and Swann found some sharp turn on the First day. Slightly concerned in the way they collapsed but with it being Bangladesh maybe this game is more realistic than people realise....
England 46/0 (14 overs)
Strauss 31*(43)
Cook 14*(42)
Mortaze 6/0/30/0
Rasel 7/1/14/0
Shakib 1/0/2/0
Runs are very hard to come by, until you get settled in, and even then you still have to be very careful with your timing and placement or you will start losing wickets. Strauss has found the bowling more to his liking and his stats show this, his strike rate being 72.09 and Cook's being 33.33, and there is only one ball difference between them. Unless the Bangladeshi bowlers produce some magic it will be tough for them to get a result
