Rashid shouldn't be in the side. Bowls to much rubbish. Get Ansari in and hope he can emulate Al Hasan

No-one can walk into this level as a league and put it on the spot from ball one.

You need to give him time to bed in.

Bed in? Rashid can't land it most times. Full tosses and long hops. He's got 400 odd first class wickets so either he's a jammy bowler or he's bowling to some serious clowns

He has a better average and strike rate that Warne had at the same point of his international career.

I guess the Aussies shouldn't have stuck with him either?

I'd say it says more about the difference between first class and test cricket

Warne got mauled by Tendulkar, and that little fella from India is general consensus one of the best to ever wield the willow...

[dcullen8]

If thats the yardstick then Hansie Cronje must have been the best bowler in the world because Tendulkar opnely admits he struggled the most against him..

Stokesy saves the day again.

What A Great Game.

[Johnny]

Really good game. Didn't feel like England were that poor, so does this signal the start of Bangladesh being rightfully established as a test nation?

[northernboy1987]

What a great test match! Been really impressed with how Bangladesh have gone about their business, they've got a very talented squad who are proving very difficult to beat. Also it's been great to see how much Stokes has come on mentally over the last year, he's really starting to realise he doesn't have to blast the ball out of the park to affect the course of the game and he looks like England's most proficient bowler in the dark art of reverse swing, well done Ben lad.

[ppccopener]

they are a tough side to play in their conditions so that makes it a great win for us.

good test match, thank the lord for DRS! it would be a total lottery without it.

I would think England may be unchanged for the next match, Knight was saying if Balance did not play everyone could move up one place and Butler could go in the middle order.

I don't think we will do that, I think Balance will get another test, which of course means if he fails Hameed starts against India with no previous test experience at all.

tricky !

[WalkingWicket37]

When I said yesterday "give Stokes the ball first thing tomorrow, and tell him to win the game" I was told that was a bad idea because "he hasn't taken a wicket today"
Not going to say "I told you so" but... 

[rickjames]

 An outstanding test match, great stuff lads

[tim2000s]

The biggest question has to be the pitch for the next game. What do they do? Drop Balance and play Ansari?

Joe Root is a good bloke
