Marcus Trescothick scored his second century in a row against Bangladesh as England marched to a 165-run lead in the second Test today after bowling the visitors out for 104.
Having amassed 194 in England’s lopsided victory at Lord’s, the Somerset opener was out for 151, the first Test century scored at Riverside Stadium.
At the close, England was on 269/3 with Ian Bell on 57 and Graham Thorpe, playing his 100th Test, on two.
Trescothick reached his 12th century with his 14th boundary and later lofted left-arm spinner Mohammed Rafique and paceman Anwar Hossain Monir for sixes.
