The Dhaka Times Desk Bangladesh-England test series started well in Bangladesh, but today it has to be very bad.
Despite Shakib Al Hasan's 5 wickets, the Tigers are not in a good position at the end of the third day's play. Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow's huge partnership of 127 runs is the cause of this discomfort for the hosts.
However, Stokes and Bairstow pulled England under pressure after losing 5 first-row batsmen for 62 runs. Mainly because of their pair, England got a lead of 273 runs. They still have 2 wickets in hand.
Stuart Broad and Chris Woakes will start the game tomorrow (Sunday) with 228 runs for 8 wickets. Broad on 10 and Oakes remain unbeaten on 11. Now let's see what the hosts do tomorrow.
