Dropped on 47 by Jonathan Trott, Iqbal scored 52 off 68 balls that included five boundaries. But his innings ended soon after when he was caught by Stuart Broad off a Graeme Swann delivery.

Junaid Siddique was caught and bowled by James Tredwell in the other wicket to fall between lunch and tea intervals. Jahurul Islam was unbeaten on 21 and Mahmuduallah was batting on 4 at the break.

Broad (1-28) claimed the first Bangladesh wicket when he bowled Imrul Kayes (4) with the total at 23 late in the day’s first session.

Earlier, Tim Bresnan guided England to a 77-run first-innings lead.

Bresnan finished nine runs short of his maiden test hundred, adding 17 to his overnight score before he was out to Abdur Razzak. Razzak also removed James Tredwell for 37 to return figures of 3-132 as England was all out for 496 in reply to Bangladesh’s 419.

Bresnan shared a 143-run sixth-wicket stand with Bell (138) to all but ensure England would have a first-innings lead.

The tourists won the first test by 181 runs.
