England build commanding lead

England established a commanding lead after declining to enforce the follow-on on day three of the first Test against Bangladesh, but the hosts had plenty to cheer with five wickets in the evening session.

Graeme Swann completed his five-wicket haul after Mushfiqur Rahim (79) dragged the Tigers to 296 all out but Alastair Cook opted to bat again and saw his side slip to 131 for five.

That still represents a lead of 434 but for the first time in the match, Shakib Al Hasan's side dominated a session against their opponents.

The tourists started the day perfectly, with Tamim Iqbal adding just five to his overnight 81 before losing his off-stump to a beauty from Tim Bresnan.

Night-watchman Shahadat Hossain nicked to slip to give debutant Steven Finn a first Test wicket and a needless run out accounted for Naeem Islam (38).

Swann then took two wickets in the next three balls as the fightback dissolved in the blink of an eye. He owed the first, Mushfiqur Rahim, to a breathtaking catch by substitute fielder James Tredwell and completed his five-wicket haul by cleaning up Rubel Hossain.

Cook was not in the fluent form of day one when England began their reply and was lucky not to be caught at short fine-leg after a mis-timed sweep. Nevertheless the England fifty came up without any serious concerns and the stand was worth 65 when Cook slog-swept Mahmudullah to Aftab Ahmed at deep mid-wicket.

Debutant Carberry, perhaps over-eager not to fail after his first-innings 30, was struggling for fluency and Jonathan Trott eked just 14 before falling to Shakib.

Kevin Pietersen showed some of his old swagger in hitting five fours and six on his way to 32 but once again fell to left-arm spin, Shakib winning an lbw decision against him.

Abdur Razzak sent Carberry on his way for a painstaking 34 to make it 130 for four and then tempted Collingwood (three) into a tame chip to mid-off.
