Bangladesh make 139-3 against England

DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) - Tamim Iqbal struck an aggressive half century as Bangladesh went to lunch at 139-3 on the first day of the second cricket test against England on Saturday.

Opener Tamim Iqbal scored 85 off 71 balls before becoming James Tredwell’s maiden test wicket when he edged an attempted sweep to wicket-keeper Matt Prior. Iqbal’s 50 came off 34 balls with nine boundaries.

Fellow opener Imrul Kayes was first to go after Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and elected to bat first, caught at mid-off for 12 by Stefan Finn off Stuart Broad (1-21) with the hosts on 53.

Jahurul Islam, making his test debut, was dismissed for a duck shortly before the break when he was trapped lbw by Graeme Swann (1-55).

Junaid Siddique was unbeaten on 25 at lunch with Mahmudullah on 11.

England made one change by introducing Tredwell (1-13) for Michael Carberry.

Bangladesh made two changes to its XI, replacing Aftab Ahmed with Jahurul Islam, while Shafiul Islam is playing in place of Shahadat Hossain.

England won the first test by 181 runs.
