Bangladesh reach 221-5 at stumps on second day against England

Hosts still trail visitors by 72 runs in first innings

CHITTAGONG, BANGLADESH: Bangladesh reached 221-5 in their first innings at stumps on the second day of the first Test against England in Chittagong on Friday, still trailing the tourists by 72 runs.

Tamim Iqbal top-scored with 78 while Shakib Al Hasan was unbeaten on 31 as Bangladesh made a steady start in response to England's total of 293 all out.

Earlier, England Leg-spinner Adil Rashid struck on the stroke of the tea break as Bangladesh reached 119-3 on the second day of the first Test in Chittagong on Friday.

Rashid removed Mahmudullah for 38 to end his 90-run partnership with Tamim Iqbal as the duo carried the hosts throughout the second session after two quick strikes by Moeen Ali in the morning.

Tamim remained unbeaten on 55 with six fours, but only after being repreived through a television review after being given out just before the end of a session that Bangladesh had largely dominated.

The hosts had been 29-2 at lunch after Moeen bowled opener Imrul Kayes for 21 off his very first ball and then Mominul Haque caught Ben Stokes at slip for a duck.

Earlier, 18-year-old debutant off-spinner Mehedi Hasan claimed the final wicket of Stuart Broad to finish with 6-80 as England added just 35 runs to their overnight 258-7 before they were all out for 293 runs.

Left-arm Taijul Islam took the other two wickets that fell in the morning in England's innings to return figures of 2-47.

Taijul dismissed overnight batsman Chris Woakes (36) off the first ball of the day as Mominul took the catch at forward short leg.

Adil Rashid was given out leg-before off Mehedi in the next over but the decision was overturned after review as replays indicated the ball had been missing leg stump.

Rashid made good use of his fortune to score a brisk 26 before a fine diving catch at cover by Sabbir Rahman off Taijul ended his innings.

Broad also profited from the Decision Review System as he was given out by Kumar Dharmasena off Taijul before it was overturned.

In a nightmare Test for the umpires, with eight of their decisions overturned in five sessions, Bangladesh also benefited from the review system at the end of the England innings.

Umpire Chris Gaffaney initially declared Broad not out off Mehedi, but wicketkeeper Mushfiqur immediately demanded a review which showed the ball took a sharp edge before going into the hands of the captain.
