Bangladesh v England - 1st Test - at Dhaka - 1997/8 - Match Report

England were below their best in the 1st Test against Bangladesh at Dhaka but still won easily by an innings and 67 runs.

Bangladesh batted poorly in both innings on a pitch which assisted the bowlers throughout and the match was over inside 3 days.

Nasser Hussain won the Man of the Match award for his century, sharing an important 104 run stand with allrounder Adam Hollioake after the England top order wobbled against some good Bangladesh bowling.
