CHITTAGONG: Graeme Swann claimed five wickets as Bangladesh was dismissed at 296 in its first innings Sunday in reply to England’s 599-6 declared, on the third day of the first test.
England elected not to enforce the follow-on, keen to rest its bowlers before a likely declaration on Monday. At tea, England was 12-0 in its second innings.
Mushfiqur Rahim scored 79 runs to head the home side’s meager resistance, adding 113 runs for the eighth wicket with Naeem Islam, but the hosts lost their last three wickets in the space of four deliveries.
Resuming on its overnight score of 154-5, Bangladesh looked like making a quick exit when Tamim Iqbal made an early departure, beaten by movement off the seam and bowled by Tim Bresnan. That ended a fine innings of 86 runs.
Nightwatchman Shahadat Hossain was the next to go, as debutant paceman Steven Finn claimed his first test wicket, with Paul Collingwood taking the catch at second slip.
Rahim and Islam came together with the score on 183/7 but dug in for a disciplined partnership that defied England’s bowlers, seeing off almost 10 overs of the new ball before the final collapse came.
Islam (38) was run out attempting a second, beaten by a slick piece of fielding by Michael Carberry. Rahim went next ball as he attempted to smash a Swann delivery through midwicket where substitute fielder James Tredwell took a diving, one-handed catch. Rahim’s 79 came from 152 balls, with 15 fours.
Last man Rubel Hossain negotiated one delivery but was out the next, bowled by Swann.
England is the only test-playing nation to have never lost to Bangladesh in any form of the game.
