CHITTAGONG: Tamim Iqbal scored a half-century as Bangladesh made a solid start on Friday against England in the first Test in Chittagong before skipper Mushfiqur Rahim was bowled just before the close. England paceman Ben Stokes dismissed Rahim three overs before the stumps after the Bangladesh captain looked to have taken his side to a comfortable position with a solid innings of 48 runs. Bangladesh survived anxious moments after Rahim’s dismissal to finish the second day with 221-5, trailing England’s first innings total of 293 runs by 72 with five wickets in hand.
