Off Topic 2nd Test Bangladesh v England

England set 273 to win then.

Going to be interesting but rather difficult!

 

Looks like another cracker as this match has lurched one way or the other throughout. Bangladesh just 296 all out in their 2nd innings leaving England needing 273 to win on a pitch that is turning like a top. Amazingly 209 is the highest 4th innings winning score in Test history in Asia so England are up against it.

Bangladesh have never beaten any of the traditional senior Test countries in a Test Match, so no pressure then...

 

You beat me to it. Another tricky ask...

 

Mods merge this one thanks...

 

Well they have all the time in the world to pick and choose their shots, no need to be hasty.

Solid start so far

 

Duckett playing with real confidence, some lovely improvised shots...

 

If these two can stick around to at least 60 that will provide an excellent base for the rest of the innings...........if

 

Bangla bowlers have been very poor, they look like they're bottling it...

 

Hard chance on Duckett dropped. Maybe England's day, but the way wickets have fallen in this Test I wouldn't bank on anything. The Indians must be fancying themselves......

 

They always do...

Nice to see Duckett get his 50, a good knock...

 

When was the last time both our openers turned up?

 

About time the top order produced something

 

A couple of quick wickets and it's suddenly game on...

 

Ballance just signalled the end of his test career with a howler...

 

Moeen lasts three balls before lbw and England unravelling at 124-4...

 

Totally collapsing from a great start......poor stuff.....and Ballance is just awful

 

Cook gone and we're really up against it now...

 

100-0 and tea to game over in an hour

 

Bairstow gone and 139-6. 19 year old bowler Hasan has taken 11 wickets...

 

Woakes and Stokes our last hope now...
