England's most pointless test series starts tomorrow morning.
So pointless that Strauss hasn't bothered going and Anderson's being rested.
What does make it a bit more interesting is England's bowling crisis with Sidebottom and Onions on their way home and Broad struggling as well, so Bresnan, Plunkett, Shahzad, Finn and Mahmood are all fighting for a place in the team.
In terms of batting, Kevin Pietersen is in terrible form. This series presents a good chance to get some runs but he's shown nothing on the tour so far. Michael Carberry could make his debut if preferred to Ian Bell.

Great start at 319-3 but poor Pietersen has just been bowled for 99  |

Another dominant day for England, declaring on 599-6. 173 for Cook, 145 for Collingwood.
Bangladesh 154-5 at the close, needing another 246 to avoid the follow-on.

England just need 5 wickets on the final day to win the 1st test.
Bangladesh have done well to take the match to the final day, though England's decision not to enforce the follow-on helped as well.
Bangladesh are 191-5, chasing 513 for what it's worth.
