1st Test Match - Bangladesh v England

[jakarta]

Lead now past 250, Bangladesh now looking to slow things down for a draw?

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Lead now past 250, Bangladesh now looking to slow things down for a draw?

That would mean batting for almost two days - impossible on that pitch

 

[BensGrandad]

Hopefully our last 2 wickets will put on another 28 runs to take the lead past 300 and a physcological boost.

Although I have reservations about England's spin attack on the sub-continent, I'd say Bangladesh getting in excess of 270 batting last on that track is asking rather a lot.

 

[Hiney]

Stephen Hawking would get turn on this pitch.

Brilliant effort from England today. Stokes seems to have stepped his game up.

 

[jakarta]

86-2, 200 runs or 8 wickets needed - game on!

 

[ManOfSussex]

This could be a cracking finish.

 

[OzMike]

I think they might pull it off if they keep their s*** together.

Apparently not... 111-4

 

[ManOfSussex]

179-5 at tea. 107 more needed.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Cracking test, Broad on to bowl, if we don't get one in the next few overs would it be level pegging?

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Slipping away - 86 more required with 5 still to fall #looksgrim

 

[Eeyore]

Torn here. I think a Bangladesh win will be good news for Test cricket. Great scenes.

 

[Simster]

We are going to lose this.

 

[pasty]

6 down. Lets hope this is the breakthrough.

Ban 229/6 need 57 to win with 4 wickets left.

 

[pasty]

Squeeky bum time

234/7 52 to win, 7 down

 

[OzMike]

11 overs left for the day, so the last 3 to collapse in the morning.

 

[The Spanish]

great test whatever the outcome.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

I bet Bangladesh are ruing using their last review on that LBW now.

 

[Mackenzie]

Bangla-Sussex.

batfliddery at its finest.
