Although it might not seem like it from a distance, Bangladesh are improving steadily. A glance at their performances the last time they were in England proves it. Today they showed that England are in for a fight.
Jonathan Trott scored an untroubled 175 on the 1st day of the 1st test against Bangladesh. Another 25 runs will see him break one of the unspoken rules of English cricketing etiquette.

So, the knee has finally hoisted the white flag and said enough is enough. Flintoff has not recovered in time for the Headingley Test, which starts this morning, and a nation will doubtless be in morning, whilst another one quietly starts to fancy it’s chances with the news that Matt Prior may be out with an injury.

The news is that Ryan Sidebottom has been recalled to the squad, and that Jonathan Trott has been included as batting cover for Flintoff, should his knees decide that they’d much prefer to stay at home than spend five days at Headingley.

With only four championship matches in May, this months selection naturally focuses mostly on performances in the limited overs matches.
