Chittagong ( Bangladesh ):England defeated Bangladesh in the first Test against
Bangladesh by 181 runs, but were made to work hard on the final day. Junaid Siddique and Mushfiqur Rahim survived
unscathed
until lunch, with the former bringing up his first Test century in an inspirational
knock, the BBC reports. England looked short of ideas but Graeme Swann removed
the pair in quick succession after a 167-run stand. The spinner then wrapped up
the win to finish with match figures of 10-217 as the hosts crumbled to 331 all
out. The victory margin was convincing from England - and Alastair Cook will be
satisfied with his first Test in charge - but Bangladesh 's fight during the second
half of the game made them dig deeper than they would have imagined. The efforts
of Siddique and Rahim should give the home side great heart. The defeat means
Bangladesh go 1-0 down in the two-match series England 599 for 6 dec and 209 for
7 dec beat Bangladesh 296 and 331 (Siddique 106, Rahim 95, Swann 5-127) by
181 runs. |
