Openers Alastair Cook and Ben Duckett gave England the perfect start as
the duo added 100 runs before tea in their chase of 273 on the third day
of Dhaka Test.
Duckett, who hit his maiden Test fifty, was not out on 56 while Cook was unbeaten on 39.
Earlier, Bangladesh added 144 runs on the third day, making 296 in total in the second innings.
Imrul
Kayes will rue missing out on another century, his 78-run innings cut
shot by Moeen Ali when the left-handed batsman was trapped leg before
the wicket.
Shakib Al Hasan also looked lively, but he could not go
past 41 as Adil Rashid bowled him. Mushfiqur Rahim failed to reach
double figures while the aggressive Sabbir Rahman managed 15 with three
fours before his leg was pinned before the wicket and they went for
lunch.
Shuvagata Hom's unbeaten 25 may prove to be vital in the end as well.
Adil
Rashid was the most successful bowler for England as he bagged four
while Ben Stokes grabbed three and Zafar Ansari took two.
