Cricket:England came up against unexpected Bangladesh resistance on a day which saw Jonathan Trott complete his double-century but little success for any of his team mates at Lord's.
Trott ground out England's first Test 200 in almost exactly three years as they posted 505 all out, but six home wickets fell for 143 to just two for 172 in Bangladesh's reply.
Trott's chanceless tour de force occupied almost eight-and-a-quarter hours of this first npower Test, after he came to the crease at seven for one on day one.
His 226 is unlikely to be considered among the prettiest of the 14 Test double-centuries on this ground, but no one could deny its value to England.
Only one other home batsman managed a half-century, Shahadat Hossain (five for 98) becoming the first Bangladeshi to make the famous Lord's honours board.
Tamim Iqbal added to the tourists' gains with an entertaining 55, dominating an opening stand of 88 with Imrul Kayes.
Tamim in particular provided a contrast to Trott's painstaking ways, dispatching an off-colour Tim Bresnan for six of seven fours in his 59-ball 50 before running himself out with an unwise single into the off-side - from where Kevin Pietersen struck with a direct hit.
Kayes got to within seven runs of a maiden half-century before Steven Finn, switched on his home debut after four unthreatening overs from the nursery end to his favoured pavilion and producing a nasty short ball which had the left-hander gloving a catch to slip.
But number three Junaid Siddique (53 not out) dug in for Bangladesh's second individual 50 with a compact display which shut out England again.
James Anderson appeared to be bowling to orders with a short-pitched line of attack. But if the plan was to unsettle batsmen more at home on slower surfaces it did not work.
Trott's innings had earlier contained barely a false shot as he drilled himself throughout in the art of self-discipline.
Whether his near endless crease-scratching can be termed obsessive or compulsive is perhaps a moot point, but that is the Warwickshire batsman's method of training his mind to the task - and his team could be nothing but grateful.
After the loss of Eoin Morgan and then Matt Prior in the first hour, Trott finally reached a milestone last achieved among England batsmen by Pietersen at Headingley against the West Indies in 2007 when he controlled a trademark short-armed pull for two off Rubel Hossain.
It had taken him 318 balls, with 18 often perfectly timed and placed fours between the artisan singles, twos and expert leaves.
Bangladesh, Hossain in particular, gave England a much more testing time than on Thursday.
Debutant Morgan fell in the third over of the day, six short of his 50 and after a stand of 112, when he followed some Shahadat swing down the slope and was neatly caught behind by a diving Mushfiqur Rahim.
If Trott was to ever get out it seemed his running, rather than his low-risk shots on a typically reliable Lord's surface, was surely his most vulnerable suit.
But it was Prior who paid for a misunderstanding with his senior partner when he set off for a second run for Trott into the off-side only to be sent back and stranded by half the pitch when an accurate throw came in from substitute fielder Shamsur Rahman.
The England innings subsided quickly after lunch, the last four wickets going down for 42 runs in six overs as Shahadat gained perhaps overdue reward for his improved efforts.
He altered the angle by going round the wicket, and struck two big blows instantly.
Bresnan sparred a catch into the slips, and then Trott guided some width off the back foot straight to gully for an anti-climactic end to his vigil.
Some breezy strokeplay followed from Graeme Swann and Anderson before the latter was last out, bowled driving at Shahadat to spark animated celebrations from the seamer.
