I didn't actually see any cricket as I don't have Sky Sports, I don't have Kodi and I am at work.
But from the commentary, they reckon it was spinning/gripping from the opening overs.
Therefore it may have been a decent toss to win and bat first on. Plus if England get to 300 on this wicket and bowl well, then 300 could prove to be like 500 on a 'normal' wicket!
I suspect it's not a wicket you'd want to bat last on!!

Put it this way you would be lethal on it. It's ragging square

Watch it go from a square turning Bunsen while Bangladesh bowl, to a road while our "spinners" get hit round the ground...

9 minutes to bowl 1 over yet we still had 92 over sin the day as the over rate was superb from Bangladesh

Batty gives it a rip I've read.  at least we hope...

Not surprised they got so many overs in - bowling spinners all the time would be a lot quicker!

Surely my bowling is lethal on any surface!
Ok, seriously, if my bowling would be lethal on it then it sounds like a ripper!
Looking forward to watching the highlights! Quite relieved that we played 3/4 spinners now! Is it too late to substitute Broad out for Ansari?

honestly we are had a bit of fun with the 4 spinners thing, well at least I did..  but the seamers are redundant.

they have 5 spinners. you never know the pitch may go up and down in which case stokes broad and woakes might come into it. but it sure looks like a spinning top

it's not going to stop spinning if it starts like this( I don't think)

[WalkingWicket37]

Gary Ballance to show why he was selected with a last day 5-fer to win the game. He will give a Warne esque masterclass of leg spin!

I bet you Stokes can rip some spin on that wicket! Would be amusing to see someone like Stokes bowling spin!!

[Calzehbhoy]

It's whether it slows down I think. Today it was turning a long way and it was sharp turn as well. As the pitch gets older will the spin get slower and easier to play?

[joeyfivebags]

Cook and Ballance to open the bowling both getting 5er within a session 

On a more serious note are the BCCI really going to reject Hawkeye for DRS again after today showed how valuable it can be?
