England have already won the 1st Test so they are in much better position then the hosts. But the victory was not an easy one for the England. They underestimated Bangladesh team and though that its quite easy to get over them. But the case was quite different as we saw in the 3rd, 4th and 5th day of the 1st Test. England need to rethink their game plan for players like Tamim Iqbal and Mishfiqar Rahim who played exceptionally well for Bangladesh.
Bangladesh team is slowly trying to build a good defensive unit to give other teams a tough fight and in some way they are getting successful as well. Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudullah, Mushfiqur Rahim and Junaid Siddique are some players who are doing good job for their team but skipper Shakib Al Hasan has not performed well. He needs to perform as well to get build up his team moral.
Teams
Bangladesh (probable): 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Imrul Kayes, 3 Junaid Siddique, 4 Jahurul Islam, 5 Mahmudullah, 6 Shakib Al Hasan (capt), 7 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 8 Naeem Islam, 9 Abdur Razzak, 10 Shafiul Islam, 11 Rubel Hossain
England (probable): 1 Alastair Cook (capt), 2 Michael Carberry, 3 Jonathan Trott, 4 Kevin Pietersen, 5 Paul Collingwood, 6 Ian Bell, 7 Matt Prior (wk), 8 Stuart Broad, 9 Tim Bresnan, 10 Graeme Swann, 11 Steven Finn
Match Timings: Mar 20, 2010 (09:30 local, 03:30 GMT)
