Spinners put Bangladesh on top

England skipper Jos Buttler edged one to first slip off the bolwing off Taskin Ahmed leaving England four down for 65 runs in the 17th over in the first ODI of the three-match series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.

Taskin got one to bounce off a good-length outside the off-stump and managed to fine the outside edge of Buttler, who couldn't help but poke with his bat.

Buttler managed to hit just one boundary before that in his 10-ball nine-run innings.

Earlier, Taijul Islam joined the party as he picked up two wickets followed by Shakib Al Hasan's one scalp to leave England three down for 45 runs in the 13 over in pursuit of the Tigers' 209.

Bangladesh left-arm spinner Shakib Al Hasan brought the Tigers their first breakthrough in the opening over of the innings as he sent back England's Jason Joy for four, while the other left-armer in the side, Taijul Islam hit timber when he deceived Phil Slat with one that went on with the arm and then foxed out James Vince with one that turned away.

Having played three straight dot balls in the over, Roy tried to up the ante by coming down the wicket but ended up skying the ball courtesy of a leading edge.

Bangladesh skipper Tamim Iqbal settled underneath the ball and grabbed hold of a simple catch at mid-off.

Salt, who scored a 19-ball 12, looked to make room and cut off the stumps but he was cramped by an arm-ball that ricochetted off his back-pad and crashed onto the leg stump. 

Vince skipped down the wicket to launch one over the bowler but Taijul reacted early and dragged his length back. The left-arm spinner was then aided by pitch as the ball turned away sharply missing the bat of Vince. It was cushioned by Mushfiqur Rahim who whipped the bails off in no time.

Earlier, Bangladesh were bundled out for 209 after electing to bat first.
