Tamim Iqbal scored his eighth Test century before Moeen Ali took 5/57 to help England dismiss Bangladesh for 220 runs on the first day of the second Test on Friday.

In a topsy-turvy day’s play in Dhaka, opener Tamim made a quickfire 104 off 147 balls while Mominul Haque scored 66 as the hosts surged to what should have been a commanding score of 171/1. But Tamim’s dismissal, lbw to Ali, sparked a spectacular collapse, as Bangladesh lost their last nine wickets for 49 runs with seven of their batsmen failing to make double figures.

England then suffered their own mini-collapse as they were reduced to 50 for three before rain brought an early end to proceedings, 11.3 overs before the scheduled close of play at the Sher-e-Bangla National Sta-dium. Shakib Al Hasan removed Ben Duckett for seven before young Mehedi Hasan ended Alastair Cook’s innings at 14 through lbw.

Cook, who equalled Michael Atherton’s record of 54 Tests as England captain at the start of play, was initially given not out but the decision was overturned after Bangladesh reviewed.
