England in command

Graeme Swann grabbed five wickets to bowl England into a commanding position in the opening Test against Bangladesh on Sunday. The off-spinner finished with 5-90 in his fifth five-wicket haul as the hosts were bowled out for 296 in their first innings in reply to the tourists' mammoth 599-6 declared.

England, who did not enforce the follow-on, were 131-5 in their second innings at stumps on the third day for an overall lead of 434. The tourists lost skipper Alastair Cook (39), debutant Michael Carberry (34), Kevin Pietersen (32), Jonathan Trott (14) and Paul Collingwood (three).
