Bangladesh 221 for 5 (Tamim 78, Mushfiqur 48) trail England 293 (Moeen 68, Bairstow 52, Mehedi 6-80) by 72 runsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsTamim Iqbal produced a mature and restrained innings of 78 from 179 balls, as Bangladesh set the tempo once again against a curiously passive England attack to reach the close of the second day at Chittagong in a hugely promising position.By the close, Englands lead had been whittled down to a meagre 72 runs with five wickets still in hand, thanks to a 58-run stand between Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan, who continued Tamims business-like theme on a wicket that offered turn and bounce but perhaps less venom than might have been anticipated once the hardness of the new ball had been negotiated.The pair had taken their stand to the brink of stumps, when - with the shadows lengthening and Englands heads beginning to drop - Ben Stokes summoned up one last bout of vigour to lure Mushfiqur, on 48, into a fatal snick to the keeper. The catch, in fact, was very nearly spilled by Jonny Bairstow as he tumbled forward to snatch at a rare opportunity, but he somehow clung on to give England late reward for a days work full of effort but somewhat lacking in inspiration.In fact, had it not been for Bangladeshs peculiar aversion to breaks in play, their position could have been all the more promising by the close. In addition to Stokes late breakthrough, three of their other four wickets fell in the final over of a session - two in four balls to Moeen Ali before lunch, before a further breakthrough for Adil Rashid on the stroke of tea. Mushfiqurs departure left a huge onus on the shoulders of Shakib, who reached the close on 31 not out, and who will resume day three knowing that the second new ball will be available within the first half-hour of play.The most prized scalp, however, went to the oldest spinner in town. In the 14th over of his England comeback - at the age of 39 and having missed the small matter of 142 Test matches since his last appearance, also against Bangladesh at Chester-le-Street in 2005 - Gareth Batty slid in a flatter, faster ball to Tamim, who grazed a thin nick through to the keeper.Battys pop-eyed roar of triumph did not merely reflect his personal jubilation. It was a fair reaction to a wicket of huge significance, for Tamim had been threatening - as he so often does against England - to seize the game for his own amusement. Remarkably, this was his seventh half-century in nine Test innings against England, dating back to his thrill-a-minute centuries at Lords and Old Trafford in 2010. Having laid the groundwork in a mightily restrained effort, he had looked ready to lift the tempo as England toiled in the afternoon sun.After England had been bowled out for 293 in the first hour of the day, Tamim reined in his instincts on a treacherous surface and waited 48 balls for his first boundary - a full toss from Rashid that he rifled through the covers with power and placement. His caution had been vindicated in the final over of the morning, when his more fluent opening partner, Imrul Kayes, was bowled for 21 by a beauty from Moeen that gripped and bounced to clip his off stump, before - three balls later - Mominul Haque spliced another bouncing bomb to gully to depart for a duck and leave Bangladesh anxiously placed on 29 for 2 at the break.But as Tamims innings progressed, so too did his fluency, particularly on the drive which, by staying very leg-side to the offspin of Moeen and Batty, he was always threatening to unfurl. Sure enough, he brought up his half-century from 131 balls with a sweetly timed back-foot drill off Moeen, to confirm that Bangladeshs 14-month absence from Test cricket had not impacted on his penchant for statement innings against his favourite opponents.He had two significant moments of fortune - first on 28 when he carved Moeen on the up through point and just burst through the fingers of Rashid, diving to his left. Then, on 55, he was given out caught at slip off Moeen - a fine sprawling effort by Joe Root - but successfully reviewed the decision, as replays showed it had deflected off his elbow. The unfortunate umpire was Kumar Dharmasena, who had given Moeen out three times in six balls on the first day, only to have each decision overturned, and he had already added to that tally in the morning session, when a Stuart Broad lbw decision was shown to have been missing leg. Arguably those incidents were still playing on his mind late in the afternoon, when Mushfiqur, on 45, was rapped on the pad by Chris Woakes - one of the few genuine opportunities that Englands seamers were able to create. Hawk-Eye confirmed it would have been clipping leg stump, but Dharmasena seemed reluctant to put his finger on the line yet again.Two balls after Tamims reprieve, however, his partner was gone instead. Mahmudullahs innings of 38 from 66 balls had been a solid, busy performance, right from his first delivery, when he had responded to Moeens pre-lunch breakthroughs by galloping down the track with confident footwork to smother the spin before it could bite. But, having come within four balls of completing the entire afternoon session without losing a wicket, he succumbed to a big legbreak from Rashid that looped above his eyeline and snicked a thick edge for Root to scoop a sharp low catch at slip.Aside from that breakthrough, Rashid was a disappointment - too profligate with his full tosses and too easy to navigate off the pitch on the occasions when he found significant turn. Moeen, too, failed to live up to the promise of his double-wicket breakthrough, while Batty, who had shared the new ball with Broad in a seam-spin combo, offered plenty of spirit but little significant threat until Tamims departure.It was left to Englands seamers to look lively in the closing overs, as Broad responded to Stokes extraction of Mushfiqur by ramping up the pressure on Shakib as Bangladesh dug in for stumps. By and large, however, the trio - Woakes included - were economical but negated, and bowled just 23 overs between them.All in all, England were left to reflect on a first-innings performance that they might initially have thought was above-par for the conditions. After resuming on their overnight 258 for 7, they lost Woakes, the most accomplished of their remaining batsmen, to the first ball of the day, caught at short leg off Taijul Islam for 36, and spent the next 50 minutes scraping together another 35 runs.Rashid, with a penchant for the flick through midwicket, and Broad, using his long levers to sweep to good effect, provided the bulk of those runs but also added their names to the ever-lengthening list of DRS-related decisions in this contest.Rashid, astonishingly, had an lbw overturned when replays showed that an apparently dead-straight pad-rapper would have missed leg stump, while Broad also used DRS to escape an lbw before being last man out, adjudged caught behind after a rare successful review from Bangladesh - the 10th of the innings, a world record. The successful bowler was Mehedi Hasan, who completed a fine debut with figures of 6 for 80.Cheap Wade Boggs Jersey .

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Tampa Bay ace David Price threw to a most surprising hitter in his latest workout -- Kansas City pitcher James Shields. Price took another step toward rejoining the Tampa Bay rotation, working Thursday in his first simulated game since being sidelined May 16 because of a strained left triceps. The AL Cy Young Award winner had never before been on the disabled list. Price threw 54 pitches over three innings before the Rays played Kansas City on Thursday night. He got a good laugh when he took the mound to warm up and saw Shields, his former teammate, standing in the batters box. Shields returned to Tropicana Field for the first time this season since being traded in the winter to the Royals. He watched five pitches by Price go by before stepping out. Price is expected to start a minor league rehab assignment next week and could return to the majors in late June or early July. "I felt great," Price said. "Im kind of getting the results that Im expecting out there right now. Its definitely good to go out there and feel as good as I am right now. I guess its a sigh of relief." Price struggled this year before getting hurt, going 1-4 with a 5.24 ERA after going 20-5 with a 2.56 ERA in 2012. "Hes actually, I think, exceeding expectations a little bit," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "Hes looking really good." Maddon was also pleased to see Shields but was grateful his club would not have to face him this series. The 31-year-old right-hander pitched seven innings against the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday in a game the Royals went on to win, 3-2, in 10 innings. "It is strange seeing him in that different blue (uniform) over there," Maddon said. "I told him, just enjoy your four days here. You pitched yesterday, sso enjoy the family, enjoy the vacation here at home.dddddddddddd" The Rays played a video tribute on the scoreboard to Shields before the bottom of the second inning. He got a standing ovation. He tipped his cap and waved to the crowd from the front of the third base dugout. "It is a little weird, just seeing all the guys again," said Shields, who spent half of his 12 years in the Tampa Bay organization at the major league level. Shields left Tampa Bay leading the franchise with 217 starts, 19 complete games, eight shutouts and 1,250 strikeouts. He won 14 games for the Rays in 2008, when they won their only pennant. "Going to the World Series and winning the first playoff game in Rays history was probably my best memory here," he said. "From where we came in 07 and to do what we did in 2008 was very special." Shields has tried to bring those winning ways to the Royals, and it appears to be working. Kansas City leads the league with a 3.45 ERA, and had given up three or fewer runs in 11 straight games heading into Thursday nights game against the Rays. "Weve got a good staff over here. Our starting five is as consistent as youre going to get," Shields said. "Our bullpen, as far as Im concerned, is one of the best bullpens in the league." While Shields hasnt won since beating the Rays in Kansas City on April 30, he has compiled a 2.64 ERA in his eight starts since then. "I tried to bring my experience of winning and of what we did over here in the last five years in Tampa, and I see a lot of similarities to the two teams," he added. "Once everyone learns how to be consistent, which is what were getting right now, I think were going to win a lot of ballgames and turn this organization around." ' ' '
