Bangladesh v England - day three as it happened

Preamble Morning. In modern times, one of England's main problems has been their inability to take 20 wickets in five days, yet it's entirely feasible that they will take 15 wickets in a single day at Chittagong today and thus wrap up the first Test with 48 hours to spare. Bangladesh resume on 154 for five, a deficit of 445, with all their eggs in the basket marked 'Tamim Iqbal'. He made 81 not out, a frequently spectacular innings, but Bangladesh are still 246 runs away from avoiding the follow-on. If they save this game, I'll do any forfeit you like. Play starts at 3.30am, Greenwich Mean Etc . Until then, I'm watching two grown men punch each other in the face for a living. Kill some time by looking up an essentially meaningless stat department Graeme Swann needs seven of the remaining 15 wickets to become the first English offspinner to take a ten-for since Jim Laker's astonishing 19-wicket haul against Australia in 1956, and the first to take one overseas since Billy Bates, 117 years ago. In fact only three English spinners of any type have taken a ten-for in the last 50 years : Monty Panesar, Nick Cook and professional Don Corleone impersonator Phil Tufnell, whose performance at Christchurch in 1991-92 – including frankly sexual second-innings figures of 46.1-25-47-7 – promised so much more than his career would ultimately deliver, even if there was another memorable ten-wicket haul against Australia at The Oval in 1997. Encouraging words from Luke Dealtry "Good morning Rob. I'm going to bed now. Enjoy the night shift. Snooze snooze snooze etc etc etc says me. Good luck I'm so tired. Don't sleep!" 40th over: Bangladesh 154-5 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Tamim Iqbal 81, Shahadat Hossain 0) I thought England might open up with their best bowlers, Broad and Swann, but here's Bresnan, shambling in to bowl to the nightwatchman Shahadat Hossain. He is beaten by the second and third deliveries, and it's a maiden. "What, any forfeit?" says Jessie Greengrass. "Because I know it seems unlikely but that sounds like the sort of offer that could backfire to the extent of not only bringing humiliation but bringing blame for hubris. I'm so tired that I just want to have a little weep." You lot are full of F.U.N. this morning. 41st over: Bangladesh 159-5 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Tamim Iqbal 86, Shahadat Hossain 0) Stuart Broad, who was excellent yesterday, goes straight around the wicket to Tamim Iqbal. He has a man out at deep cover right from the off, but he can't get round when Tamim checks a cut stroke to third man for four. Good stroke. "Phil Sawyer here," says Phil Sawyer. "Tonight I'm not only trying to stay awake for some Test cricket but also for the Pacquiao fight. So tonight I absolutely promise to keep you company and not fall asleep with my head on the keyboarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr." WICKET! Bangladesh 159-6 (Tamim Iqbal b Bresnan 86) That's why Tim Bresnan's bowling: he has just cleaned Tamim Iqbal up with a sensational delivery! From around the wicket, it landed on off stump and then seamed away sharply to hit the top of off as Tamim squirted defensively. He looks shell-shocked. Any bowler in the history of the game would have been proud of that delivery. It really was a jaffa. You could even hear one of the England fielders chuckling in disbelief: "That's a beauty ". Damn straight. 42nd over: Bangladesh 159-6 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Shahadat Hossain 0, Mushfiqur Rahim 0) One down, 14 to go. That Sunday-night snoreathon is looking pretty good from here. Come on England! 43rd over: Bangladesh 163-6 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Shahadat Hossain 4, Mushfiqur Rahim 0) Shahadat fends off a good short one from Broad, but he was far from comfortable. He ducks under the next ball and then thinks, sod this , cleaving another short one through mid-off for the most enjoyably rustic of boundaries. "Ventured out last night despite the protests (up to about 80,000 people now) and watched Ireland vs Wales, which was very good (free flowing and largely error free)," says Paul Sumner. "Managed to avoid Scotland vs England, which apparently was dire. Feeling good this morning, as Bangkok has run out of Guinness so I didn't pay through the noise for my drinks and I actually got a decent sleep. Off for a swim and then check back on the scores. Given your seeming pleasure in adversity and misery, the forfeit should probably be something joyous. We could send you to do a song by song report of a Whitney Houston concert, but you would probably take a perverse pleasure in that." And probably shed a sly tear during 'Didn't We Almost Have It All?' 44th over: Bangladesh 163-6 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Shahadat Hossain 4, Mushfiqur Rahim 0) There's a bit of reverse for Bresnan, and Mushfiqur leaves one that doesn't miss his off stump by all that much. A maiden. England have the scent. Just 14 to go lads. Come on England! "Some of us are sticking with you, Rob," says Peter Hanes. "Although in my case it's mostly because I'm watching Ottawa v Vancouver in the NHL ice hockey tonight. For what it's worth, Vancouver are 1-0 up (powerplay goal) near the end of the first period." My knowledge of NHL, sadly, starts and finishes here . 45th over: Bangladesh 167-6 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Shahadat Hossain 8, Mushfiqur Rahim 0) Shahadat mows Broad through mid-off for four again, so Broad thinks, sod this and goes around the wicket. I like Broad's nasty streak. And his brain, too: after one delivery from around the wicket he switches back over and has Shahadat ducking under a bouncer. Then he goes back around the wicket again. Good stuff. "Just reading CLR James's Cricket and came across a piece on George Headley that reminded me of Cook's dismissal yesterday," says Craig Burley. "The great Headley is speaking to James: 'In a Test match be on guard against the bad ball.' Somewhat bewildered, I asked him why. He said that in the tight play of a Test when a really bad ball comes, you go at it so greedily that you can make a bad stroke and get out.' I just thought it interesting, coming from one of the all time great batsmen and all." Generally I agree that the insights of truly great players are to be cherished; against that, Shane Warne did recently say this: Getting up in the morning and putting on a pair of underpants is important for me. And I think a lot of people think like that. 46th over: Bangladesh 171-6 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Shahadat Hossain 8, Mushfiqur Rahim 4) Mushfiqur cuts Bresnan for four to get off the mark. "The new Curtly Ambrose isn't going to Finn-ish with a five-for," says Liam Drew, "is he?" The short answer's 'no', and I think the long one is as well. 47th over: Bangladesh 172-6 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Shahadat Hossain 8, Mushfiqur Rahim 4) Ah, Sky have Mark Butcher in the commentary box, on loan from TMS to cover for the ill David Lloyd. Get well soon Bumble! He has a good cricket brain, Butcher, and could make a good commentator. Anyway, Shahadat ducks into a bouncer from Broad, which rams into the back of his helmet and away for a leg-bye. "I've just had a special moment (no, not that kind of special moment - the court injunctions have taken care of that)," says Phil Sawyer. "I can't, in all my time following England, ever remember their opponents needing to score 400 to avoid the follow on. Okay, it's against Bangladesh, but it's only fifteen years or so since David Lloyd claimed that when we'd drawn with Zimbabwe we'd 'flippin murdered them'. I'm finding this new not outrageously talented but unsettlingly efficient England a bit disconcerting." You might want to check your funky-cheese consumption, Phil: the last instance was last year. However, it is pretty rare: it only happened once between 1979 and 2009, and has only occurred 11 times in all . Still, we invented the game, so well done us. Did we even invent it? Whatever. Well done England! 48th over: Bangladesh 176-6 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Shahadat Hossain 12, Mushfiqur Rahim 4) A strange incident here: Bresnan rammed it a short one that Shahadat touched through to the leaping Prior. Rod Tucker gave him out – but as he was raising his finger Prior dropped the ball. Rod Tucker's desperate to get this game done today so he can settle down for a 48-hour Murder, She Wrote marathon. I know his game. To compound the confusion, it almost certainly came off Shahadat's arm guard rather than his glove. Good delivery, mind. Bresnan is probably better than most people think – sharper and smarter – but I still can't see him making it as a Test cricketer. That said, in 36 hours' time he'll have won more Tests in three attempts than Graham Dilley did in 41. Weird. "Did Warne go on to specify whose underpants?" asks Marie Meyer. Oh Lord, look at this photo . (It's safe for work, if maybe not your stomach.) 49th over: Bangladesh 177-6 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Shahadat Hossain 12, Mushfiqur Rahim 4) Finn replaces Broad, who bowled a malevolent short spell. It's a range-finding first over, mostly outside off stump but with a bye down the leg side from the final delivery. "England's new fast bowler needs a nickname," says Marie Meyer. "You would think it would be a toss-up between Finns and Finny. But no! Collingwood tweets that "Para", "Cough" and "Muff" are all being considered." Collingwood's on Twitter ? Disappointing. I thought he was better than that. The strawberry-blond community will have to consider ostracism. 50th over: Bangladesh 181-6 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Shahadat Hossain 12, Mushfiqur Rahim 8) Mushfiqur, feeling tentatively outside off stump, snicks Bresnan right through the vacant third-slip area for four. Some Aussie has apparently produced statistics to show that 40 per cent of Test runs come to third man. That sounds pretty unlikely, but if true it does make you wonder what the bloody hell is going off out there in terms of field placings – not so much today for the last 123 years. Anyway here's Dean Butler, back at work and spreading the depression. "This is like WW1. Everyone just wants it to be over." Do you ever not work? WICKET! Bangladesh 183-7 (Shahadat c Collingwood b Finn 14) A lovely moment for 20-year-old Steven Finn, who gets his first Test wicket. Shahadat, the nightwatchman, was backing away all the time and simply edged a good, shortish delivery delivery to second slip. 51st over: Bangladesh 183-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 8, Naeem Islam 0) Shahadat backs away towards square leg and smears Finn over point for a couple. "Morning from Nairobi, where it's another clear blue day with a hint of a breeze, and I'm about to travel 200 miles to look at a biogas plant run on waste from the latrines of Kenya's biggest prison," says Martin Wright. "Most people come to Kenya to look at lions, I come to look at shit. Which is just so preferable. So - can Bangladesh stay out of the slurry this morning?" Apparently not. Just 13 left now. Come on England! 52nd over: Bangladesh 183-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 8, Naeem Islam 0) Graeme Swann replaces Tim Bresnan. Mark Butcher accidentally uses the phrase "spinger fin". It's a maiden to Mushfiqur Rahim, prompting Smyth to wrestle internally with whether it's now passe to jokily refer to Swann not taking a wicket in his first over shock horror LOL. "Ah, that's my OBO credentials gone up in smoke then," says Phil Sawyer. "Had forgotten the Windies snore-a-thon. In my defence, I was thinking more of not remembering England being in a winning position with their opponents needing 400 to avoid the follow on rather than a non-event of a competition on a flat track. Also it's 4.15 am and I'm surprised I can remember my own name, let alone the results of matches gone by." Forgetting that West Indies series is fair enough. I needed professional treatment to open my eyelids after that. 53rd over: Bangladesh 183-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 8, Naeem Islam 0) Finn hits the bat hard, as you'd expect of someone so tall, and Naeem Islam pushes one on the bounce to fourth slip. Finn then has him swaying away from a good bouncer. He is in a nice groove now after that difficult start yesterday. A maiden, and drinks. "Cook should let Prior have a spell," says Scott W. "Let him get his first Test wicket. Only fair." 54th over: Bangladesh 188-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 13, Naeem Islam 0) "Eight and nine then lads!" chirps Matt Prior, showing a wonderful ability to count. England have been very loud and playful in the field. Swann has a short leg, silly point and slip for Mushfiqur, who runs down the track and drives over Carberry at mid-on for four. It wasn't a slightly iffy stroke but he just got enough on it. 55th over: Bangladesh 188-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 13, Naeem Islam 0) Finn finishes another maiden with a peach of a lifting leg-cutter that squares Mushfiqur up and beats the outside edge. The raw materials are certainly there, but then we knew that anyway. "Morning Rob!" says Niall Harden. "Flip, I've got up at some stupid times for some stupid reasons but this really wins. I've got loserball to play! (03/04 Angel 18 Aston Villa home shirt freshly laundered of course). Going to fall asleep at half time and blame you. It'll be etc etc. By the way, you get yr iPod working? Tried switching it off and on again?" Arf. Well I finally managed to restore it after two weeks of trying. Sadly I then couldn't get iTunes to recognise it, so now it has no music on it. That meant I had to endure the full noise of the night bus, including three Germans singing a song about sodomy and an ageing man with a Cornish accent telling a friend on the phone how he had got a Chinese man so drunk on two pints that "he nearly fell off the barstool". London, it's the world's coolest city! 56th over: Bangladesh 190-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 13, Naeem Islam 2) Hello. 57th over: Bangladesh 194-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 17, Naeem Islam 2) A fine, reverse-swinging yorker from Finn is fortuitously inside-edged for four by Mushfiqur. That only just missed leg stump. Finn is mixing his length up nicely, getting a bit of reverse and hitting the bat very hard. His last delivery is another reverse-swinging yorker that rams into Mushfiqur's pad. It was going down but that was a very good over. Tall fast bowlers really do make us English cricket suffererers go all a-quiver. "If Bangladesh save it you could shutter your bedroom Martin McCague shrine for a full week," says J. David Moore. "That should strike most of your readers as sufficiently wrenching for you to match the enormity of what would be Bangladesh's achievement (or England's pipe-taking, whichever way you look at it)." 58th over: Bangladesh 198-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 17, Naeem Islam 6) Classy stuff from Naeem Islam, who glides Swann to third man for four. "It raises some issues this Test," says Dean Butler, referring specificially to the state of his life, and mine. "I've been annoyed by all those who've been ranting on about Bangladesh Test status yet again. I've always thought it was really worthwhile to try and gain another Test nation. Certainly one with such a large population. A better bet than Zimbabwe I feel. However with Test cricket currently grappling for a means of long-term survival in it's battle with the younger, fitter, meaner rapacious beast that is Twenty20 this kind of match isn't really helping is it? Because this is a futile clusterfuck." Thing is, I am quite stupid, but I genuinely don't see a viable alternative to shoving a team into Test cricket and watching them get bullied for a decade or two before they eventually become better than England. With the partial exception of Pakistan, that has been the case ever since South Africa became the third Test-playing nation, no? 59th over: Bangladesh 203-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 18, Naeem Islam 9) Finn starts his sixth over, which is a fair spell in this heat. Again he so nearly gets a reverse-swinging yorker through; this time it was Naeem Islam who jabbed his bat down desperately, with the ball shooting off the inside-edge for four. So: it's tall, it gets bounce and seam, it seems temperamentally sound and it bowls reverse-swinging yorkers. Permission to get ridiculously carried away and envision a career haul of 547 Test wickets at 24.77? "It's a bit of a disappointment that Pacquiao's entrance music is Eye of the Tiger," says Phil Sawyer. "You'd hope for something more original from such a great of the game. Yes, I know that this is nothing to do with cricket but in the absence of an MBM boxing blog you're going to have to put up with it. I imagine your hands are already directing the mouse towards the 'mark this address as junk mail' option." Beggars, choosers. If Ian Bell was a boxer, what might he enter the ring to ? 60th over: Bangladesh 212-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 27, Naeem Islam 9) Swann hasn't bowled particularly well today by his standards, and Mushfiqur cuts a short one classily for four. He is sufficiently emboldened to give the next ball the charge and drive it over Swann's head for another boundary. Well played. "Bad news from the hockey," wails Peter Hanes. "The Ottawa Senators did well to only be 1-0 down after one period, having being outshot 17-2. The Sens' centre Jason Spezza scored a typically sublime solo equaliser, but Ottawa then kept giving up the puck tamely and are now 4-1 down at the end of the second period. Hopeless." Can someone translate? 61st over: Bangladesh 216-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 31, Naeem Islam 9) After a good six-over spell, Steven Finn takes a break and is replaced by Stuart Broad, presumably with a remit to end this nonsense and ensure I get tomorrow night off. But Mushfiqur is playing nicely now and drives Broad's first delivery on the up through the coverse for four. That was a really pretty stroke. "'Grappling for a means of long-term survival' (58th over) - what bollocks," says Scott W. "Whoever says a vibrant Test scene and a thriving IPL are mutually exclusive has been fooled by the grumpy brigade. Both are brilliant. I'd construct an argument but I'm too tired and this Test isn't helping. Just accept I'm right and move on to worrying about David Cameron. Now that's scary." 62nd over: Bangladesh 216-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 31, Naeem Islam 9) A maiden from Swann to Naeem Islam, who is defending pretty solidly. Bob Willis, who knows a thing or two about the subject, is saying some interesting things about Finn's development, chiefly that he must maintain and maybe increase his current pace rather than be coerced into sacrifing speed in pursuit of greater accuracy. "It's true what you say," says Dean Butler, confirming the long-held suspicion that I am always right, "except I'm beginning to feel that another 10 years of getting kicked around the play ground may not be available due to the effects of Twenty20. Even I enjoyed the previous Twenty20 World Cup and I'm a luddite who insists upon calling the English football divisions by their correct name such as 2nd/3rd division etc. We're all doomed." 63rd over: Bangladesh 223-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 38, Naeem Islam 9) Broad is trying a bit of off-theory against Mushfiqur, who likes a cover-drive but who, as yet, has not been tempted to chase a wide one. Broad has a good brain for bowling on the subcontinent, as he showed on the subcontinental pitches of the Caribbean in Phil Sawyer's favourite series this time last year. Eventually Broad digs in a shorter, slightly straight delivery that Mushfiqur mispulls in the air but wide of mid-on and away for four. "You are right Rob," says Graham Mooney, confirming the long-held etc.. "Mark Butcher will make a great commentator if he can come up with the imaginative nickname 'Spinger' for Steven Finn (over 52). Expect a Tweet from Colly at lunch." Oh, Colly. I thought you were better than that. 64th over: Bangladesh 227-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 41, Naeem Islam 10) The increasingly fluent Mushfiqur drives Swann pleasantly for three. "Wasn't a two-tier Test system touted by the ICC as a solution to your nightmare world?" says Niall Harden. "I suppose it opens up new, equally nightmarish possibilities but if Ashes Cricket 2009 for the Xbox 360 is anything to go by, Ireland are ready for anyone..." At the risk of being boring and serious – because it's not all smiles and strap-ons round here, Harden – I don't really see the point of a two-tier system. If you had, say, two tiers of six, the hardest games Bangladesh would currently play would be against New Zealand and West Indies, and I don't know how quickly they would develop by doing that. 65th over: Bangladesh 227-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 41, Naeem Islam 10) This game is snoozing towards lunch, so Bob Willis talks about his buttocks. Nobody needs that at 5.14am on a Sunday. He was referring to Ian Botham's calf muscles, which are apparently the size of Bob's aforementioneds. Broad very nearly slips a reverse-swinging yorker through Naeem Islam, who falls over towards the off side but just manages to get his bat down on it. A maiden. "Music for Ian Bell entering the ring: My Boy Lollipop , perhaps?" says Martin Wright. "Or if he was feeling particularly plucky, how about What's New, Pussycat? ..." 66th over: Bangladesh 232-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 46, Naeem Islam 10) Swann has switched to around the wicket but that doesn't really bother Mushfiqur, who has a little dance down the track and lifts him nicely over midwicket for four. He has played really well, particularly when you factor in the pressure he must have felt to justify his place/existence following his horrific performance with the wicketkeeping gloves. "Want me to call Collingwood a 'shithead' and see if he storms off Twitter in a funk?" miaows Niall Harden. "Reckon he won't though, as he's a bloody bloke." 67th over: Bangladesh 232-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 46, Naeem Islam 10) They keep showing that Paddy Power advert . It was funny the first time and probably the second, but now I just feel unwell. Broad is replaced by Bresnan, who beats Mushfiqur with a snarling leg-cutter and beats him again with a fuller delivery later in the over. An excellent maiden. 68th over: Bangladesh 239-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 51, Naeem Islam 12) Naeem tucks Swann to leg for a single to bring a very responsible fifty partnership, and then Mushfiqur sweeps flat and hard for four to bring up a fine half-century, from 90 balls and with ten fours. "Is it just me or do the crowd who cheer when Manny does something worthwhile sound like they have been shipped in from the audience of 'We are the Champions'?" wonders John Dalby. 69th over: Bangladesh 239-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 51, Naeem Islam 12) That's lunch, after a morning of hard yakka with the soft old ball for England. I'm off for a restorative shower, so I'll leave you with this from Niall Harden. "Bell's song has got to be something really muscular and threatening by, say, Belle & Sebastian - The Boy Done Wrong Again , perhaps, or The State I Am In . TMS have lost the line to Bangladesh and it sounds like a random BBC fella is just sitting in a room in silence watching Sky, lamely describing what he can see. Imagine that, eh? Hoho!" Yeah. Ho. Ho. LUNCH F.U.N. lunch quiz Since Graham Dilley in 1980, six bowlers have taken Test wickets for England before their 21st birthday. The sixth was Steven Finn, today. The first person to name the other five wins nothing, not even a surge of misplaced pride. No cheating now, I know where you live. 70th over: Bangladesh 240-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 52, Naeem Islam 13) Graeme Swann starts after lunch and Mushfiqur crunches him down the ground for a single. This could be a long afternoon for England, whose decision to omit James Tredwell is getting some deserved stick from Mark Butcher in the Sky commentary box. "England won't enforce the follow on, and not because Bangladesh will get 400 nor because it makes sense to bat again in this match, but because there's another Test coming up very soon indeed and the bowlers need a break," says Gary Naylor. "England's second innings will be largely superfluous in terms of the runs scored, so wouldn't it just make sense for England to fast forward the match and negotiate a target with Shakib – say 450 in four and a half sessions? Both captains will be happy with that and it'll take an unnecessary day out of the match for all of us." I'm not so sure. I certainly reckon they would have enforced it had they cleaned Bangladesh up before lunch this morning.Ah that humble dream, of snoring violently throughout Sunday night, waking up at random intervals to catch a couple of 12-syllable laments from Dawson's Creek on the TV before drifting back into the deepest sleep, looks like it's dead already. 71st over: Bangladesh 241-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 52, Naeem Islam 12) It's light outside, or at least I think that's light I can see through the slits. Bresnan, who bowled very well indeed this morning, sends down a pretty anodyne over to Mushfiqur Rahim, an excellent reverse-inswinger excepted. With the new ball due in nine overs' time, England could do worse than give Paul Collingwood a few overs of cutters. "I support the Belle and Sebastian suggestion for Ian Bell," says Ben Taylor. "There's a great song with the line 'It could have been a brilliant career' very prominent." This would be my choice; it oozes menace . 72nd over: Bangladesh 242-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 53, Naeem Islam 13) Mushfiqur top-edges a sweep at Swann but it drops well short of Finn at deep backward square. "Can't we just grant Test status to any nation with the desire, the resources and the infrastructure to put on a Test match? How hard can it be? Afghanistan, the Dutch, Canada, Greenland, anyone can have Test status provided they can host a five-day cricket match in which they take responsibility for one of the sides. Or is that just too straightforward? Far too democratic? Not self-defeating enough? The ICC should be more like me in a pub (bear with me here) - seize upon any expression of an interest in Test cricket with fervour and enthusiasm (and a free pint to begin with)." 73rd over: Bangladesh 243-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 54, Naeem Islam 13) Bangladesh are in no hurry at all, and nor should they be really. England are struggling here and need the new ball. 74th over: Bangladesh 248-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 55, Naeem Islam 17) Swann drops a sharp return chance. Naeem Islam spanked a flighted delivery back whence it came and Swann, putting both hands above his left shoulder, let the ball go straight through his fingers and down the ground for four. That was, as return catches go, reasonably straightforward. 75th over: Bangladesh 248-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 55, Naeem Islam 17) Steven Finn comes on for Timothy Bresnan. He bowls a maiden to Mushfiqur Rahim. This is all. "Aye that song's called It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career, good call," says Niall Harden. "There's also A Century of Fakers and Your Cover's Blown. Plus, they're called BELLe and Sebastian!! I'm sorry, I have no idea what is wrong with me." 76th over: Bangladesh 249-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 55, Naeem Islam 18) "Wishing for a night off?" asks Phil Sawyer. "You need to take a leaf out of Gary Naylor's book. It seems he never sleeps. I imagine him in a Batcave-style underground bunker, multiple screens showing every sporting event in the world, hands poised over the keyboard ready to dispatch his latest missive to whichever unfortunate journo is in the firing line." 77th over: Bangladesh 255-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 55, Naeem Islam 24) That was a brilliant over from Finn. Twice Naeem Islam edged him through the slips, the first for two and the second for four, and inbetween he padded up to an inswinger that flew off the top of the bat handle – which was facing towards third man – and just missed the stumps. That was really fine bowling. 78th over: Bangladesh 261-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 60, Naeem Islam 25) Mushfiqur slog-sweeps Swann emphatically for a one-bounce four. As nobody can be bothered with my F.U.N quiz, here are the answers : Phil DeFreitas, Ben Hollioake, Andrew Flintoff, James Anderson and Liam Plunkett. I was slightly surprised that Alex Tudor wasn't on the list, but he turned 21 shortly before he waged war on the Waughs at Perth in 1998-99. "Surely Ian Bell should enter to the Lobster Quadrille from Alice in Wonderland?" suggests Richard Woods. 79th over: Bangladesh 262-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 60, Naeem Islam 26) One from Finn's over. His figures today are 9-5-18-1, which is a fair reflection of the control and threat with which he has bowled in trying circumstances. Here's an interesting(ish) stat: Test wickets taken by teenagers for each of the ten Test-playing nations. Pakistan are top, as you'd expect, but can you guess which country is bottom of the list ? 80th over: Bangladesh 265-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 61, Naeem Islam 28) Kevin Pietersen comes on to bowl what will presumably be the last over with the old ball. Nothing happens. "Ah, The Field Mice," weeps Phil Podolsky. "The nostalgia of, well... searching to death everything Saint Etienne-related back in the early noughties. Hardly the stuff of a rave extravaganza, is it... And in an entirely predictable turn of events, hug ma soul, Rob ." 81st over: Bangladesh 270-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 65, Naeem Islam 28) England take the new ball at the first opportunity, and Paul Collingwood puts Mushfiqur down! It was an inviting delivery from Broad, full and in the slot outside off stump. Mushfiqur went for the drive and edged low to second slip, where Collingwood failed to hold on to a low chance. Broad yelps with frustration. For a fielder of Collingwood's ability that was pretty straightforward. Mushfiqur takes advantage of the reprieve to slap a boundary through the covers off the back foot. Broad's frustration manifests itself in a nasty final delivery that jams Mushfiqur's bottom hand against the bat handle. 82nd over: Bangladesh 270-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 65, Naeem Islam 28) Bresnan beats Naeem Islam with a nasty lifter, and suddenly it is a very different game. A maiden. "There are in fact several Gary Naylors, the result of a cloning experiment gone wrong," says Phil Withall. "These super inteligent beings have an answer for all sporting related questions and are owned by the major sporting bodies to keep OBO and MBM reporters in employment." 83rd over: Bangladesh 271-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 65, Naeem Islam 28) Broad's second over with the new ball is survived pretty comfortably. If Bangladesh can avoid the follow-on here – and Abdur Razzak, the No10, can bat a bit as well – they will have a real chance of saving this. England would probably want no less than four sessions to bowl them out in the fourth innings. 84th over: Bangladesh 271-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 65, Naeem Islam 28) Mushfiqur gets very solidly behind the line against Bresnan. He looks a very fine player, and averages over 40 in his last two years of Test cricket . Saying which, he goes for an airy-fairy hook at Bresnan and misses. A maiden. 85th over: Bangladesh 279-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 65, Naeem Islam 36) Broad, bored of niceties like line and length, has decided to bomb Naeem Islam. Ian Bell comes in at short leg as a consequence, but Broad's length isn't quite right and Naeem is able to duck fairly comfortably. Then, when Broad pitches one up, Naeem times a lovely cover-drive for four and then drives four more through mid-on. England have a not insignificant problem here. "Several Gary Naylors is an anagram of Arranger Says Lovely," says Chris Seymour. "This is clear proof that 'Gary Naylor' is a product of the OBOers, purely designed to fill space. I'm on to you." 86th over: Bangladesh 282-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 66, Naeem Islam 38) Time for drinks. 87th over: Bangladesh 286-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 70, Naeem Islam 38) Broad spears in a wonderful yorker and the ball flies off the edge, into the ground and then over second slip for four. England thought it hit the boot first and went up for a huge LBW shout but it was definitely just bat. Lovely delivery, though. "Robbikins," says John Starbuck. "Bell's song would be Chumbawamba's Tubthumping. The plucky little fellow has been knocked down a lot and we've all been guilty. PS I've just finished reading all the previous OBO and am now down to the sloth of live updates. Oh well. PPS Watched ITV4's IPL yesterday: that studio team was full of embarrassing silences and it'll take a long while to gel." Who was in the studio? I can't be bothered watching that meaningless garbage. 88th over: Bangladesh 286-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 70, Naeem Islam 38) A maiden from Bresnan to Naeem Islam. Phil Brown may not drink pints of hindsight , but those who do will have plenty to say about England's decision to go with four bowlers. They are starting to look a little weary, even though they are still hitting the pitch very hard, and there is no sense at all that a wicket is imminent. 89th over: Bangladesh 287-7 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 70, Naeem Islam 38) Swann replaces Broad and gets a go with the harder new ball. There is better bounce but the batsmen are very, very comfortable just now. England have a problem here, and a draw is no longer unthinkable on a pitch that is not deteriorating at all. "It seems I have provoked an existential debate about the nature of Gary Naylor," lies Phil Sawyer. "My work here is done. I'm off to bed. By the time I wake up I hope it will have been established that, rather like Schrödinger's cat, only the act of observing Gary Naylor can determine the state of Gary Naylor. And on that quantum note I bid you good night/morning/aardvark/other improbable quantum outcome." WICKET! Bangladesh 296-8 (Naeem Islam run out) Oh, Bangladesh . After a brilliant partnership, Naeem Islam runs himself out by turning blind for a dodgy second. He would have got away with it but for a brilliant slide, pick up and throw from Michael Carberry at deep backward point, but Mushfiqur sent him back and Matt Prior did the rest. That is such a shame. 90th over: Bangladesh 296-8 (need 400 to avoid the follow-on; Mushfiqur Rahim 79, Abdur Razzak 0) Mushfiqur had struck Bresnan for two boundaries earlier in the over. WICKET! Bangladesh 296-9 (Mushfiqur Rahim c sub (Tredwell) b Swann 79) Two wickets in two balls. Mushfiqur Rahim goes for the slog-sweep and the substitute Tredwell at short midwicket takes a really stunning one-handed catch diving almost backwards to his right. WICKET! Bangladesh 296 all out (Rubel Hossain b Swann 0) That didn't take long. Swann gets his fifth Test five-for by bowling Rubel Hossain second ball, playing hopelessly inside the line. Swann ends with five for 90. So after that wonderful partnership, Bangladesh lost their last three wickets in four balls. Alastair Cook and Michael Carberry sprint straight off the field, and that means England have decided not to enforce the follow on . You can't really argue with that given the fact that they only have a four-man attack. Their lead is 303. INNINGS BREAK 1st over: England 2-0 (led by 303 on first innings; Cook 1, Carberry 1) Cook gets off the mark first ball, touching Shahadat Hossain to leg for a single. This is an important little innings from Michael Carberry, who was scruffy against the spinners in the first innings. He gets off the mark with a flick to fine leg. 2nd over: England 4-0 (led by 303 on first innings; Cook 2, Carberry 2) Rubel Hossain (Test average: 73.80) starts from the Pavilion End. England are in no hurry. Watching England bat for a declaration in the third innings is one of life's very special tortures. They are traditionally hopeless at it. "I wonder whether the reason they've not enforced the follow on is to give Carberry another chance, the bowlers a rest on a pitch that's not looking at getting any worse, whilst also not allowing the Bangledashis to bowl on the fifth-day pitch when their spinners might get some aid from the pitch." I think it was mainly, in fact almost exclusively, because of the need to rest a four-man attack. 3rd over: England 6-0 (led by 303 on first innings; Cook 4, Carberry 2) A quiet over, in terms of run-scoring at least, from the grunting Shahadat to Cook, the most interesting thing which was the camera leering at sometime OBOer Kat Petersen, hiding under a floppy hat in Chittagong. It is, indeed, all right for some. "These are obviously the more intelligent cricket fans" says Bob Willis. 4th over: England 11-0 (led by 303 on first innings; Cook 6, Carberry 5) One over to tea. England are roaring towards a declaration. 5th over: England 12-0 (led by 303 on first innings; Cook 6, Carberry 6) Mahmudullah, the off-spinner, bowls the last over before tea. Carberry eschews the sweep, which got him out to the same bowler in the first innings, and instead turns a single to leg. And that's tea. Thanks for all your emails; Barney Ronay will talk you through the evening session. TEA Hello and thanks to the peerless Smyth who has now been levered out of his chair by support staff and helicoptered off to have his head unfrozen, spend six months in a Swiss spa, become the subject of a moving Elton John tribute record and receive a posthumous knighthood. Heroic stuff. I will be taking you through to the end of play. You can email me on or tweet me if you want, because I do all that these days. Some resistance from Bangladesh today. Some slightly disappointing captaincy too. Why have England only selected four bowlers? It is a mystery. Plus, some uninspired field placings from Cook who seems to have as much instinct for attack as he does when he's batting. But we shall see. Lovely fielding from Carberry in that session. He's a real mover. Also, I always enjoy a random blinding catch from someone you're surprised to hear is actually on the field. I remember Martin Saggers taking one in Bangladesh last time around. James Kirtley got one at Lord's once. Any others? Geoff Roberts notes: "Since you have the thankless task of trying to make this stuff interesting, why don't you start by asking when England last lost a game that they had in the bag with a 300 odd lead after the first innings? It can happen you know." I'm not sure what the answer is. Anyone? But I do know it's not going to happen here. The dead-pitch draw is the fear. But let's not forget England are on trial here: they've come with a weakened team and they have to win. NB Note to Geoff Roberts: chin up. Might even see a bit of dash from England this session. England are back out. Huge session for Carberry this. He's waited a long time for his chance. He will be nervous. Let's get inside his head for a bit. [Grrr.... No sweeping... Gah... Hmmm... Nerves... Fret, fret...]. Yes. Seems a bit nervous to me. 6th over: England 12-0 (led by 303 on first innings; Cook 6, Carberry 6) Carberry starts the session with a languid, teasing leave that looked a bit like a play and miss. He's right in behind the next couple of balls. 86mph from the slingy Rubel, but no real movement. Very defensive field from Shakib. 7th over: England 13-0 (led by 303 on first innings; Cook 7, Carberry 6) Shahadat comes back on to bowl to Cook and his first ball is a horrible overpitched thing outside off stump that Cook waves his bat at in ugly fashion. Shahadat makes a frightening "AAAOORAAAGGHH!!" noise as he bowls another 78mph dobbler. I remember he used to have a reputation for "sconning" batsmen - think he hit Ponting on the head once or twice. Incredible really looking at him now. 8th over: England 24-0 (led by 303 on first innings; Cook 16, Carberry 6) right. Time to get on with it and Cook does just that cutting a no-ball from Rubel away for four , a fierce almost front-footed slash. Cook will feel the need to do a bit of that given that it was his decision not to enforce the follow-on and here he goes again! Unfurling that full-bodied pull shot for another boundary square of the wicket from a weedy short ball. Rubel follows up with another no ball and this is really poor fare from a dropping Bangladesh in the field who at times have a mid-1990s England air about them. 9th over: England 27-0 (led by 303 on first innings; Cook 17, Carberry 8) More yodeling medium pace from Shahadat who, if anything, is getting louder. Carberry is bedding himself in but he'll have to go at some point and there he does indeed go with a nicely timed hip-clip for two, which is followed by a loud shout from the bowler and slips as he's hit on the pad outside the line. A bit too much doubt there and Tony Hill shrugs it off. I remember watching Carberry when he first came through at Surrey and he was a real dasher, very exciting at the top of the order. He's definitely got the shots. 10th over: England 34-0 (led by 303 on first innings; Cook 20, Carberry 12) Cook clips a full toss away for two that would have been one against most Test teams as the man ambles round from deep fine leg. Carberry goes for an aggressive back foot force and plays and misses, then under-edges a drive off a half-volley along the ground through slips for four . And Gary Naylor wants a change of format, perhaps to one with a few more podium dancers and reverse-switch dab scoops: "This innings is too slow. Global communications are a wonderful thing and I feel we should attempt an experiment on its limits. If you switch to ITV4 and OBO the upcoming IPL match, but keep the headers etc here exactly the same, will England get those runs? Could do us all a favour." No. It's Sunday morning. We're staying here where it's nice and sedate. And look! Naeem Islam is coming on for Shahadat! That's quite exciting. 11th over: England 44-0 (led by 303 on first innings; Cook 29, Carberry 13) Naeem's first ball is a filthy long hop that Cook pulls for four, although in truth it deserved six, or eight or maybe 12. Some very average off-spin going on out there and England pootle on. Shahadat has changed ends and come around the wicket to Carberry. AAAAOOORGHH!! indeed. 12th over: England 52-0 (led by 303 on first innings; Cook 30, Carberry 20) The pitch is still doing nothing and appears to be made from indestructible synthetic mattress. Shahadat wangs in a wide full toss and Carberry duly square drives for four nicely before cover-driving for an easy two. And John Starbuck has been wondering about podium dancers. "As this is The Guardian I expect a troupe of podium dancers would have to be mixed, at the very least. OBO writers and readers, maybe? Who would you absolutely leave out and who might come through with a wholly unexpected thrilling display?" Interesting point and a frankly quite disturbing mental image. There is no right answer to that. 13th over: England 53-0 (led by 303 on first innings; Cook 31, Carberry 20) Naeem continues and Cook is dropped playing a creaky sweep. Actually that's not even a drop as he just didn't get there in time, wandeirng in, diving very late and grasping at nothing. That was woeful. Cook now has 4,000 runs in Test cricket and he's the youngest, after Sachin Tendulkar, to get there. 14th over: England 60-0 (led by 303 on first innings; Cook 34, Carberry 20) Shahadat carries on with his strangley slow and unthreatening medium pace. One horrible leg side piece of filth goes for four byes against Rahim but that is mainly the bowler's fault. It's weird. Shahadat is tall and powerful and he rushes in and goes "AAAAOORGGH!!" but what emerges at the end is a Monty Panesar quicker ball. There must be some kind of technical whatnot going on. He needs to talk to Ian Pont. On Sky Bob Willis has just claimed to have bowled in the "early 90s" in his pomp. Interesting. Wonder how quick Botham was in 1979. 15th over: England 63-0 (led by 303 on first innings; Cook 37, Carberry 20) More yawnsome off-breaks from Naeem with England leading by 366. I feel a bit tired just thinking about this England bowling attack trying to get 10 wickets on this pitch. Thank heaven for Graeme Swann. WICKET! Cook c Aftab b Mahmudullah 39 (England 65-1) Cook goes attempting a slog sweep that he top-edges up in the air and it's well caught on the boundary. The end of a frisky but too-brief innings off 55 balls. 16th over: England 65-1 (led by 303 on first innings; Trott 0, Carberry 20) Nice over from Mahmudullah and a chance for Trott to show some form. Or on the other hand for two under-pressure batsmen to pootle along not doing much when England need urgency. Let's have a look. 17th over: England 71-1 (led by 303 on first innings; Trott 6, Carberry 20) Shakib brings himself on for some left-arm slow stuff. Trott has looked iffy against spin early on but here he nudges an easy leg-side two to get off the mark. Shakib has three men close to the bat and this will be a test. On Willis and pace Gary Naylor writes: "Bob Willis would probably have touched 90mph in his pomp (Bresnan hits 89mph FFS!). Botham was about 85mph, but had a useful bouncer that fooled many into believing he could bowl fast. Malcolm Marshall was about that pace too in the second half of his career, but retained his very very quick bouncer from his youth. Of course, he could make the ball talk like it was Kenneth Williams." Marshall could be quick. He had a menacing air. That gliding run up. 18th over: England 76-1 (led by 303 on first innings; Trott 10, Carberry 21) Mahmudullah to Carberry and he bowls a zinger, drawing him forward and getting some real actual turn to beat the defensive push. And oh Christ here we go with Trott scratching about like a cat that's just vacated its bowels. Perhaps peeved at waiting, the bowler fires in a leg-side pie and Trott glances nicely for four . Drinks out in the middle. Very leisurely all round. 19th over: England 78-1 (led by 303 on first innings; Trott 10, Carberry 23) Shakib carries on bowling at the stumps to Carberry who defends mainly off the back foot. I'm enjoying Rahim behind the stumps. He keeps saying "lovely mate!" and "Well bowled fella!" in a weird cockney-Aussie accent. England are 381 ahead and you wonder what their target is. 450 perhaps? 20th over: England 79-1 (led by 303 on first innings; Trott 11, Carberry 23) Slow-burning out there still with both these players looking to nudge and build and innings rather than score quickly. I suppose these two are in competition for a reserve opener's spot when Strauss comes back. Trott has slipped down the pecking order quite rapidly. And here's a thing: I have a feeling both Cook and Collingwood have passed 4,000 runs in this Test, both with the average 44.44. Must surely be a first (if I haven't hallucinated it). 21st over: England 80-1 (led by 303 on first innings; Trott 12, Carberry 23) Carberry attempts to inject some urgency with a sweep off middle and leg but the ball hits Kayes at short-leg - ow! - right in the chest and there's just one off the over from Shakib. Some very nice heartfelt condolences from Carberry as he gets up, but nothing much is happening out there right now. 22nd over: England 82-1 (led by 303 on first innings; Trott 14, Carberry 23) Mahmudullah carries on and he is bowling quite nicely. Trott prods and nudges two from the over. Carberry has 23 off 60 balls with England looking to post a declaration. On which Andy Bradshaw writes: "Cork on TMS is going for lunch tomorrow. I'm going for 500 ahead." I agree with Cork's 500. My 450 was provocatively couched to illuminate England's lack of urgency. Oh yes. You get it all here. It's like Talksport. 23rd over: England 83-1 (led by 303 on first innings; Trott 14, Carberry 24) To be fair to Bangladesh the last hour has been more urgent in the field. They seem to have drawn some encouragement from England's meandering. Which they carry on with in this over. On the 44.44 conundrum Lyn Bashforth writes: "Hallucinating, Barney... Maybe it's the sound of Shahadat and a weird form of hypnosis. According to Cricinfo, Colly is on 3909 Test runs at an average of 43.43, so not yet..." Yes but that's not including this Test is it Lyn? I think I might (against all odds, expectation and past form) be right. 24th over: England 87-1 (led by 303 on first innings; Trott 14, Carberry 28) I'm sorry but this is just not good enough and England should be getting stuck in to Bangladesh here rather than having a net in the middle. Carberry finally gets an irresistible short ball and hammers it square for four . Then he's back to defending from the crease. Maybe harsh on a man in his first Test but he's an experience player. He knows what's needed here and you get more brownie points for reacting to the game. WICKET! Trott c Siddique b Shakib 14 (England 87-2) That is either unlucky or poor execution depending on how you look at it. Trott pulls a long hop straight to midwicket at waist height and he's off for 14 from 24 balls. KP's in to face the left-arm spinner. 25th over: England 97-2 (led by 303 on first innings; Pietersen 10, Carberry 28) Lovely way to get off the mark for Pietersen, dancing down the track like a drunk man at a wedding, veering off to one side as the ball is speared in to his legs but flicking it through midwicket for four . Then he plays a lovely inside-out drive for four through cover, followed by a back-foot drive for two. Just what England want and they're 400 ahead now. 26th over: England 100-2 (led by 303 on first innings; Pietersen 10, Carberry 31) Carberry shows a bit more urgency, perhaps inspired by his new partner, but cuts hard twice to the fielder. Lyn Bashforth is holding her hands up on the 44.44 issue: "Indeed, having checked Cook too, I see my error now. I blame the rotten cold bug that has filled my head with cotton wool in place of the usual little grey cells. Good for Colly too then. Gary Naylor wouldn't have made a schoolboy error like that, of course..." Oi. Leave Naylor out of it. What's he done to you Bashforth? Er, you don't have to answer that. 27th over: England 101-2 (led by 303 on first innings; Pietersen 10, Carberry 32) Shakib still bowling his slow left arm not-much. Pietersen defends with almost sarcastic caution, then goes back to force on the off side and is hurried a bit. He does look aggressive though and this could be fun if he stays in. 28th over: England 109-2 (led by 303 on first innings; Pietersen 16, Carberry 34) A powerful sweep square for four by Pietersen off Mahmudullah's first ball. Carberry is also trying to force the pace but he keeps cutting and forcing straight to the fielder. Stay calm Carbs. And oh dear he's hit the short-leg Kayes again with a sweep and he's rolling around in agony. Blimey there's more from Gary Naylor: "The only thing Bashers and I have ever done together is to sup beer and talk of cricket and other things on The Shelf, Third Floor, The Oval Pavilion - a great pleasure that I am looking forward to resuming come the cricket season." It works best if you say all that in a Leslie Phillips-style voice. Abdul Razzak comes on. He got Pietersen in the first innings. 29th over: England 115-2 (led by 303 on first innings; Pietersen 22, Carberry 34) What he gets here is a smack for four first ball off a short legside delivery that the batsman swings powerfully through fine leg. Another short wide ball is cut for two and this is nice to see, Pietersen attacking for the team. He's got 22 off 18 balls now. 30th over: WICKET! Pietersen lbw Shakib 34 (England 126-3) (led by 303 on first innings; Collingwood 0, Carberry 34) Some real bounce off Shakib's first ball and it goes through outside off for a bye. We haven't seen anything like that yet. Maybe the ball hit a crack, or a mosquito. Pietersen responds by hitting Shakib for six over long-on, a really easy flowing lofted drive. That was a lovely shot and he follows it with a four through midwicket off the front foot. He looks so good when he plays like that. But guess what, it's followed by missing a straight ball lunging forward and he's out for 34 off 24. Terrible shame as he was playing really well. 31st over: England 126-3 (led by 303 on first innings; Collingwood, Carberry 34) Carberry continues to play fretfully as the onus switches to him to move things on. A maiden over that has him hopping and moving about a lot in the crease trying to manufacture a shot. 32nd over: England 129-3 (led by 303 on first innings; Collingwood 1, Carberry 34) Shakib continues and he has 2-32 now. Tom V D Gucht wanders: "England should promote Swann up the order with instructions to give it some twenty/20 welly, it could be his chance to do a Gillespie and record his first test ton." That might be a bit far away but I agree he should bat above Broad. I've seen Swann open successfully in one day cricket and he can play the new ball, as we've seen in Tests. I'd give him a go in ODIs but that's another argument (and deep down I'm sure he'd get found out damn it). WICKET! Carberry lbw Razzak 34 (England 130-4) And there goes Carberry: hit on the pad deep in the crease with the ball looking likely to go on and clip leg. He's got 34 again and he trudges off looking very sad. 33rd over: England 130-4 (led by 303 on first innings; Collingwood 1, Bell 0) Razzak has a deep wide midwicket for the Collingwood heave but it's Carberry who perishes. Gary Naylor points out: "Eoin Morgan is about to take the field for the Banglaore Royal Challengers - we could do with his brand of go forward cricket here!" He would murder Bangladesh but not so sure yet about him facing about the really quick stuff in Tests. Brett Lee troubled him last summer. 34th over: England 131-4 (led by 303 on first innings; Collingwood 3, Bell 0) Shakib carries on and Bell defends in textbook fashion, playing for stumps now. England have done enough and they are massively in charg, but it has been a menader and I still have my doubts about batting again. Two overs to go here. WICKET! Collingwood c Mahmudullah b Razzak 3 (England 131-5) Another one goes! Collingwood skips down the pitch and shovels the ball to mid-off for en easy catch. There seemed to be no need for that and England are hardly covering themselves in glory. Three wickets have falllen in no time at all. 35th over: England 131-5 (led by 303 on first innings; Prior 0, Bell 0) Collingwood seemed to be confused about what to do with that ball and really didn't go through with the shot. Prior defends, Bangladesh have two slips and they're chattering all over the place. They look the more up-for-it of the two teams right now. 36th over: England 131-5 (led by 303 on first innings; Prior 0, Bell 0) Shakib very nearly gets a quicker ball through on to Bell's pads on the back foot. The bowler was already appealing for that. Bell prods out the rest of the over. And that is stumps . England are 434 runs ahead but it hasn't been the greatest of days. They eventually bowled Bangladesh out but the decision to bat again will be questioned. Perhaps the bowlers were tired but why only pick four of them if that rules out being able to ask your opponent to follow on? You have to back your selection. Some late wickets took the gloss off even further, but England should still win this. The declaration will come tomorrow and no doubt the Bangles will end up facing a manic Monday. That's all for me. Thanks for your emails. Barney.
