Ian Bell was streamer delicately towards an 11th hundred for England prior to bad light brought a beforehand finish to the initial day of the second npower Test against Bangladesh at Old Trafford.
After entrance to the double in a potentially wily on all sides on 83 for 3, Bell could feel confident with his purpose in a fightback that was stability when the umpires curtailed fool around with England on 275 for 5.
The officials, Billy Bowden and Asoka de Silva, were booed by sections of the crowd of around 7,000 and, with spinners handling at both ends, it did not appear that Bell, who was dominant on 87, and Matt Prior were in any danger.
England lost a singular wicket after tea when Eoin Morgan cut Shahadat Hossain to behind point usually to see Jahurul Islam dive to his right to hold a stunning right handed catch.
The event became a diversion of cat-and-mouse as Bell attempted to make make use of his feet to get on tip of Shakib al Hasan and Abdur Razzak on a aspect charity turn. Prior roughly fell to Razzak, but his condense upheld trip prior to a reaction.
Kevin Pietersen quickly entertained a sharp-witted afternoon throng prior to Ian Bell and Morgan progressed in less demoniac conform as England recovered from an unhappy morning.
With the round starting to spin and the visitors fielding 3 spin bowlers, England will be beholden that they are not due to bat last whilst Graeme Swann, who went wicketless at Lords, will have grand hopes of creation amends.
Pietersen (64) was happy to make make use of his feet opposite the delayed men and struck 42 from 37 balls after lunch prior to Shakib al Hasan kick him in the air and off the representation to emanate a candid stumping possibility for the considerable Mushfiqur Rahim.
Bell had struck Abdur Razzak for a true 6 but survived a forsaken possibility on 36 when Shakib found the outward edge.
Bangladesh had astounded England with 3 wickets prior to lunch on a stately Manchester sunrise after Andrew Strauss, the England captain, opted to bat first.
Strauss and Alastair Cook progressed simply in the initial half-hour, but their early joy valid false as Shafiul Islam, removed to the side, struck in unbroken overs during a long, correct initial spell.
Strauss pushed in front of his physique at a well-directed round angled opposite to give a catch to Imrul Kayes at second trip and Jonathan Trott, after his double-hundred at Lords, managed usually a singular scoring shot prior to Shafiul nipped one behind in between bat and desk pad to shave the tip of the stumps.
Bangladesh lacked the gait and tallness to feat any good rebound in the surface and Shakib al Hasan, the captain, found no early turn. But Abdur Razzak struck with his initial ball, flighted beautifully to leave Cook in dual minds prior to prodding a low possibility to Junaid Siddique at slip.
