Just what England needed - a wicket inside the first 10 overs. Man in form, Moeen Ali strikes in the 10th over to remove Tamim Iqbal.

Patience will be the key if Bangladesh are to chase the 286-run target having lost the 1st wicket cheaply.

With two days of play remaining, Bangladesh look to chase a tricky total of 286 runs to beat England in 1st Test.

The visitors were hoping to cross the 250-run mark and give possibly give a 300-plus target to the hosts but they fell just short of it having being bowled out on 240.
