CHITTAGONG, Bangladesh (AP) Teenage offspinner Mehedi Hasan claimed five wickets on debut as Bangladesh restricted England to 258-7 on the opening day of the first test on Thursday.
The 18-year-old Hasan returned figures of 5-64 and tormented the English batsmen on a wicket that offered plenty of turn and variable bounce.
Moeen Ali top scored for England with 68 after surviving five video reviews while Jonny Bairstow made a gritty 52 to help England propel past 200 runs.
