First session between England and Bangladesh in Chittagong saw carnage with eight wickets falling and 55 runs being scored. The subsequent sessions saw normalcy and composed batting – primarily from Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow to get England out of a mess and extend their advantage to 273 runs at the close of play.
Stokes was the ‘man of the day’ with four wickets to his name to complete a fifer and then scored 85 when the visitors were in trouble at 62/5. He received good support from Bairstow with the duo putting together 127 runs.
