Sounds like its set up for an exciting finish. Eng need about 61 off 60 balls.

Trying to make a game of a warm-up match that was heading for a draw.

Does it really matter?

Although if we want to be slightly analytical, we do only have 4 specialist bowlers, at least one of which has had an injury issue so no doubt they wouldn't want to carry on in those conditions.

As you imply- the purpose of these alleged 'Test' matches is to provide batting practice and to enable batters to boost their averages. Doesn't look too good tho' if an individual's highest test score is down in the record books as against Bangladesh - so they need to be careful.

Got there in the end....5 bowlers for 2nd test please.

Fair play to Bangladesh on their home turf they have improved and their batting seems to have much more about it these days.

A hard day in the field, Bangladesh 330-8

This test is turning into a real struggle. If Bell and Trott don't put on a decent partnership England could even be in trouble

95 behind, looks like we have turned it around and should still win this one. only 4 wickets to get should leave plenty of time to knock of the required runs

Not banking on it, might have a little wager on the draw :icon_conf
