Graeme Swann benefited to finish a five-wicket haul, whilst Alastair Cook opted to bat again with a 303 lead already on the board. By tea England had reached twelve but loss.

The tourists proposed perfectly, with Tamim Iqbal adding usually five to his overnight 81 prior to losing his off-stump to a beauty from Tim Bresnan.

That was sufficient to give him the top Bangladeshi magnitude opposite England, violence Aftab Ahmed"s symbol of 82.

Mushfiqur wafted lazily at his initial smoothness but was shortly seeking positive at the double and began to find the gaps in the England field.

Nightwatchman Shahadat Hossain was roughly erroneously since out by referee Rod Tucker prior to the preference was fast overturned, though he did not take advantage. Instead he nicked to trip to give debutant Steven Finn a initial Test wicket.

The 20-year-old, most softened from his moving opening spell yesterday, probed afar for a second and was twice detrimental to see full deliveries squeezed past leg-stump.

Naeem assimilated Mushfiqur in the center and set about personification a some-more indifferent foil to his buccaneering partner.

By right afar Mushfiqur was utilizing his feet well opposite Swann and pushing quietly in to the off-side from the seamers.

By the time he lifted his bat for a well-earned fifth Test 50, 40 of his runs had come in boundaries.

The eighth-wicket span re-established themselves after the lunch mangle and usually looked uneasy when Finn returned to the attack.

Stuart Broad took the new round as shortly as it became accessible and would have private Mushfiqur in his initial over had Paul Collingwood hold the catch at second slip.

England used the harder round to exam the batsmen"s essential element to short-pitched bowling - a tactic that paid off handsomely at the begin of the innings - but Naeem strike dual excellent fours when Broad"s length deviated.

As an additional corner fell short of trip and ran afar for four, England"s disappointment was apropos apparent.

A unnecessary run-out followed, Naeem (38) the plant of miscommunication in the center and intelligent work from Michael Carberry in the field.

Swann afterwards took dual wickets in 3 balls as the innings collapsed with 3 wickets in 4 deliveries.

He due the first, Mushfiqur, to a monumental catch by surrogate fielder James Tredwell and finished his five-wicket transport by cleaning up Rubel Hossain.
