Hosts Bangladesh face off against visitors England, on Day 3 of the first of the two-Test series, at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong on Saturday, as the live cricket streaming of the match is available on Hotstar, while the live telecast of the match is available on Star Sports 2 and Star Sports 2 HD. England, who batted first, managed to score an average total of 293, as they were bowled out by the Bangladesh bowlers, while the hosts batsmen have so far played fair enough as they have managed to score 221 for the loss of five wickets, while they still trail by 72 runs, ahead of an interesting Day 3.

Tamim Iqbal scored a half-century as Bangladesh made a solid start Friday in response to England’s first innings in an evenly-poised opening Test before skipper Mushfiqur Rahim was bowled just before the close. England paceman Ben Stokes dismissed Rahim for 48, three overs before stumps in Chittagong. The hosts finished the day on 221-5, trailing England’s first innings total of 293 runs by 72. Shakib Al Hasan, who shared a 58-run partnership with Rahim for the fifth wicket, remained unbeaten on 31 overnight along with nightwatchman Shafiul Islam, who has yet to get off the mark.

Tamim earlier top-scored with 78 for the home side, his 19th half-century and fifth against England, before he got a top edge when he attempted to cut off-spinner Gareth Batty. “I think we have slight bit of advantage,” Tamim said after the day’s play. “If Mushfiq had remained unbeaten we could have said we are in a better position. “Still we have got five wickets in hand and if we can take a lead of 100 runs it would be great.”
