[QUOTE="fgoldjothi, post: 317655"] An assured century from Jonathan Trott, his second in as many Tests on home soil, steered England to a comfortable position on 362-4 at Lord's on the opening day of the two-match series against Bangladesh. Trott looked in terrific nick from the moment Alastair Cook departed in the fifth over of the morning to end the day unbeaten on 175 from 270 balls. The Warwickshire batsman had struggled in England's six winter Tests but clung onto the number three position against Shakib Al Hasan's tourists. And his partnership of 171 with Andrew Strauss (83) for the second wicket either side of lunch proved vital as Kevin Pietersen and Ian Bell made little impression on the scoreboard. Some 23 overs remained in the day when Trott was joined by England's debutant, Eoin Morgan, and his concentration never wavered as together they added an unbeaten 105 for the fifth wicket - Morgan ending the day on 40 not out. The first fixture in another jam-packed English summer of international cricket attracted a healthy crowd at Lord's for the opening day. [/QUOTE]
