Bangladesh V England Test Series 2016

[yuppie]

I'd be happier with a 250 lead.

BD are not out of this yet.

The England spinners will need as many runs as possible.

The pitch is just going to get harder to bat on though.

Interesting match.

Our spinners bowled at 3+ an over BD's at under 3 so we need a bigger lead than 200 I feel.

[yuppie]

Couple more wickets would make it very interesting.

No watching the match, but reading what people have been saying about the pitch, at present i'm guessing England are favorites here.

Looks like an ok day so far for England. But they aren't going to win without a bit of a sweat. There's a gloomy scenario whereby England will need reverse swing to finish the game but the spinners are too expensive to allow the ball to get that old. It was a long time before they got reverse in the first innings. But really, the spinners should do the job.

[meninblue]

None of the team is in advantage position imo at this point of time (England leading by 149 runs).

Bangladesh have the batting lineup to chase 200. Ben has played a decent innings so far, but he needs to convert this start into a 50. Johnny is in good form as well. Bangladesh needs to keep the chase below 250.

Good stand so far by these two.

Stokes has got all the talent needed to be a great batsman except the temperament. If he gets that he will become something special.

[Arthur Crabtree]

46 partnership for England's middle order Red Headed League. Great day for Stokes.

Ballance has to go.

He shouldn't even be here in the first place.

Stokes could well be on his way to a man of the match performance here.....

Sussex won't be happy!!

Stokes could well be on his way to a man of the match performance here.....

So far Ben has 51 runs , 1 catch and 4 wickets in this match. Moeen is also a contender for Man Of the Match. Shakib too has a chance if he picks wicket and scores a decent knock in 2nd innings.

[Aidan11]

If BD win the MoM will likely go to one of their lads.

[meninblue]

Wonderfully swept by Johnny All along the ground.

Mehedi seems to have something on a finger of his bowling hand, a plaster or bandage.
