Finn the hero as England lord over Bangladesh

[1]

Steven Finn took five wickets on his home debut as England beat Bangladesh by a convincing eight-wicket margin in the first Test at Lord’s here on Monday to go 1-0 up in the two-match series.
Bangladesh, following-on, were bowled out for 382 shortly before lunch on the final day with Middlesex fast bowler Finn taking 5/87 in 24 overs.
That gave the 6ft 7in paceman, who played his first two Tests during England’s 2-0 series win in Bangladesh in March, match figures of 9/187.
England, set 160 to win in two sessions, finished on 163/2.
Andrew Strauss, the England captain, in his first international match for several months after resting from the tour of Bangladesh and missing the World Twenty20 triumph, as he no longer plays that form of the game, made 82 before he was out with England 13 runs short of victory.
Jonathan Trott, whose Test-best 226 was the centrepiece of England’s first innings, was unbeaten on 36 after ending the match with a boundary. Kevin Pietersen was 10 not out.
Victory gave England their seventh win in as many Tests against Bangladesh and left the Tigers with just three wins from 67 matches at this level. But, compared to the corresponding Test between the two sides at Lord’s five years ago, which England won by an innings and 261 runs, there was no denying Bangladesh’s progress.
Earlier, Finn took 3/8 in 15 balls to secure his place on the Lord’s honours boards.
