DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) Opener Tamim Iqbal hit 104 but Bangladesh squandered a chance to take control against England on Friday on the opening day of the second test.

Bangladesh lost nine wickets for 49 runs to be bowled out for 220. The hosts then bowled well to restrict England to 50-3 before the rain brought a premature end to the day.

Offspinner Moeen Ali claimed 5-57, his second five-wicket haul, to spark the collapse.

Iqbal lifted his side from 1-1 by combining for a 170-run partnership with Mominul Haque, who made 66.

Ali, aided by fast bowlers Chris Woakes' 3-30 and Ben Stokes' 2-13, stalled Bangladesh's progress.

At stumps, Joe Root was batting on 15, with Ali on 2.
