England squeak home against Bangladesh

Apr 11, 2007

7.4 Mahmood to Shahriar Nafees, OUT, and this time Mahmood does take his second wicket. Nafees went to drive that one and Nixon only got a glove on it, but he did parry it volleyball-like over to Strauss at second slip who clung on without fuss•Getty Images

10.4 Flintoff to Mushfiqur Rahim, OUT, Mushfiqur goes right back and offers a very correct backward-defensive stroke, but he plays down the wrong line and the ball clatters into the top of his middle and off stumps•Getty Images

30.4 Panesar to Mohammad Rafique, OUT, tossed up, Rafique looks to hit him back over the top but doesn't really get hold of it and Andrew Strauss, halfway in from long-off boundary, catches the ball above his head shuffling backwards. Panesar celebrates as if he had just snared Tendulkar ...•Getty Images

20.5 Abdur Razzak to Vaughan, OUT, goes he softly into the night. Oh dear, swept that one up and a top edge went high and higher and was taken easily by his opposing captain behind square •Getty Images

13.3 Syed Rasel to Strauss, OUT, Strauss falls over as he shapes to hit across the line and misses, a loud, long, almost pleading, appeal from Rasel ... Bucknor takes an age, even by his standards, before raising his finger •Getty Images

13.1 Anderson to Mohammad Ashraful, OUT, Super start, good line and length, Ashraful spars at one that bounced and Nixon holds an oh-so-simple catch. Steve Bucknor doesn't even have to delay and decide as Ashraful is quickly on his way•Getty Images

3.3 Syed Rasel to Bell, OUT, speaking of fight - England have lost a wicket! Bell slices that drive to point - looking to drive it much, much straighter, and that was an excellent diving catch there•Getty Images

31.2 Mohammad Rafique to Flintoff, OUT, we still have a game here ... Flintoff barely moves his feet and is completely undone by the arm ball and bowled neck and crop. A great player but he looked as impotent as a club No. 11 there. He throws his head back and looks to the heavens ... •Getty Images
