28-3....lead by 73

Did well to bowl out Bangladesh after they looked settled in....have to build on that. Let's hope for better after lunch.

 

Bloody hell.......

 

An 'I didn't know that' incident. Moeen Ali caught out, but not out on appeal as it hit the helmet of the catcher.

 

Ballance out. 46-4

 

Moeen out. 62-5. Tough scoring today.

 

Really tough pitch to bat on. Good practice for India.

 

Stokes just got a 6....blooming miracle today.

 

98-5 Lead by 143 runs. Interesting to speculate what is a good score. 200 would give the bowlers something to work with....250 would be good. Still a way to go yet.

Lead 153 at tea.

 

Whack! 6 more for Stokes and an excellent 50.

 

Stokes has been superb with bat and ball today.

 

Our batting all the way down the order is our strength...completely necessary when you consider the performance of our openers.

 

189-6 Bairstow bowled for 47.

England lead by 234.

 

Stokes out for 85. Terrific knock which could save this Test.

Lead 246

 

It will win the test. Easily.

 

Been watching sport too long to predict with total confidence. I always remember 3-0 up at Tranmere.

 

England 228-8 at close.

Lead 273 runs

 

Good recovery .

 

I am going with you Tom . Last time I doubted you in Cricket , we stuffed the opposition out of site !

 

Bangladesh need 285 to win.

Currently 35-0. After 9.3 overs.

 

35-1
