Ian Bell struck the 10th Test century of his career as England established a slender 21-run lead over Bangladesh at stumps on day three of the second Test.

Bell, 25 overnight, put in an assured display over two-and-a-half energy-sapping sessions for 138 of England’s 440 for eight.

Tim Bresnan, who shared a 143-run stand with Bell, laboured for 214 deliveries to reach 74 not out in only his second Test innings.
