James Tredwell took the plaudits with the ball, finishing with 4 for 82 as the Tigers done 285 all out.

Just prior to to lunch Bangladesh competence have fancIed environment a sterner follow in fewer overs but they lost their last dual wickets in 10 deliveries possibly side of lunch, with skipper Shakib Al Hasan last man out, 4 short of a richly-deserved hundred.

England proposed the sunrise 95 at the back of and anticipating to strike over the tail in discerning time.

But, as has been the box for most of the series, the Bangladesh lower-order had opposite ideas.

Nightwatchman Shafiul Islam proposed by circumference Tim Bresnan in between wicketkeeper and trip but shortly settled, attack Graeme Swann for back-to-back boundaries.

He rode his fitness with a integrate of aerial sweeps and proposed to turn a genuine regard for the fielding side.

Shakib, meanwhile, looked in plain touch, receiving Stuart Broad"s initial over for eleven on his approach to a tranquil half-century.

The attainment of the new round roughly brought Broad the new thing when he dug one in short and Shafiul mis-hit high in to the leg-side.

Jonathan Trott, who forsaken a sitter at point yesterday, done great belligerent in the low and took a diving, one-handed catch usually to see the round cocktail out as he strike the ground.

Shafiul eventually fell for twenty-eight in the subsequent over, top-edging Tredwell to give Trott a most easier take.

Naeem Islam gradual his healthy charge for half-an-hour prior to losing calm to feed Pietersen at mid-on and palm Tredwell a second success.

That done it 259 for eight but Shakib"s efforts ensured Bangladesh eked an additional twenty-six runs for the last dual wickets and - importantly - kept England watchful until after to lunch to bat.

Steven Finn claimed Abdur Razzak lbw 3 balls prior to the mangle and Shakib was stumped charging Tredwell on 96 only 9 deliveries after the resumption.

The aim of 209 had the intensity to see wily if early wickets fell, but England took the diversion at a canter.

Trott knew he had to find an additional gear, carrying strained for 195 balls for his first-innings 64, and duly directed the fourth round of the innings to the third-man boundary.

As expected, the Tigers gave left-arm spinner Razzak the new ball, though he strayed in length to present Cook his initial 4 of the day.

England gathered steadily, but not dramatically, to reach 42 prior to Trott was run out for nineteen by the rapt Jahurul Islam.

That brought Pietersen to the double and after pushing Shakib for 4 he unleashed a switch-hit, removing dual for it notwithstanding a bad connection.

Undeterred, the series 3 used his feet well to raise Razzak for a soaring true six.

Cook eased past 40 with fours off Mahmudullah and Shakib in unbroken overs but narrowly survived an lbw interest carrying only got his desk pad outward the line.

Pietersen additionally had a impulse of fortune, roughly cannoning a Mahmudullah
