England need a big innings from new captain Alastair Cook. He duly responds by making a steady start and by the 15th over has racked up 28 runs

Carberry's splendid start comes off the rails once the slow bowlers replace the seamers and he seemed to be struggle with the slower ball. He was dropped by wicketkeeper Rahim in the 17th over before being dismissed LBW later in the following over for 30

Carberry is replaced by Jonathan Trott who seems to take inspiration from his captain and puts in a slow and steady performance. He made 38 before being caught by Mushfiqur Rahim off Rubel Hossain. It was a poor decision - the ball came off his helmet and didn't touch his bat, but umpire Hill obviously thought otherwise

Kevin Pietersen enters the fray and hoping to put his recent run of poor performances behind him. The Bangladesh bowlers do what they can to rattle the England batsman

The plan fails to work and it looks like it's the KP of old is at the crease. He racks up his half century, only his third in the last nine Tests

In the 53rd over Cook reaches his century in a grand manner, swiping Mahmudullah handsomely over deep midwicket for six, his second of the innings

It is his 11th Test hundred, he scored a century in his first Tests against India, Pakistan and West Indies, and has now added Bangladesh to the list

Pietersen's swashbuckling innings comes to an end in a dramatic fashion in the 75th over when he is bowled by Razzak for 99. It's the third time in 18 months that Pietersen has fallen to a left arm spinner whilst approaching the century mark

Alastair Cook acknowledges the applause after scoring 158 not out and England finish the day on a commanding 374 for three. The England captain will surely exceed his highest Test score of 160 on day two, and later said: "It's what dreams are made of ... to bat all day, I'm really proud of that, and the team are in a really good position"
