Seriously?
Ten of the best players in the world cannot get 27 runs each?
Totally useless.

I do like how Bangladesh play as a team. Real team spirit and some characters in there too. They were always going to beat England one day in a test and they've deserved this win. For all Englands poor performance you cannot take anything away from the hosts

England did well to get 1-1 really. A battle of spinners and Bangladesh's are far superior to ours.

You're right. As passionate as I am you'd have to say Bangladesh should have won the first one.

Hilarious at the end there with Finn asking for a review that wan't available.

It's about time a coach was able to stop this ridiculous habit of throwing wickets away and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

It's also high time that the players gave a thought to us fans back home who set alarms for ridiculous times of the morning, only to be left flicking the Yellow Pages for the number of The Samaritans.

Congratulations to Bangladesh. A well-deserved win.

At the same time, it was extremely poor from England who have a fair bit of thinking to do before the India Tests.

The good news is that I can make an earlier start than originally planned to catch up on the MotoGP early morning coverage from Sepang and be well finished before it is time to start watching F1 live this evening from Mexico.

we desperately need a world class spinner. We haven't had one since Swann retired. Mo does his best but he's a reluctant senior spinner.

So much over reaction on the loss so far on twitter, forums.
seriously 1-1 isn't a bad result.
and what did people really expect that a team with a fragile batting line up/no spinners and only really had what 1 and half bowlers actually looking like taking a wicket or threatening all the time would win a series 2-0 or 1-0.

Well done to bangladesh.

Adding my congrats to Bangladesh. Thoroughly deserved

Not sure what changes we will make in our approach/selection in the next part of the tour

Surely Ballance and Finn are out of consideration

Ansari bowled well this morning although his figures don't relect this. Deserves another chance
Broad will certainly come back in. Maybe a choice between Buttler and Hameed to replace Ballance ?

It will be Buttler because although he's done nothing to deserve it they simply cannot help themselves.

Another disgraceful batting collapse from England 100-0 to 169 all out just simply isn't good enough
Ballance hasn't worked since being brought back last summer so his international career is probably finished Hammed will open in India, Duckett to 4
TMS were talking about England playing Buttler and him and Bairstow rotating the gloves session by session
1 thing I have learned from this tour is the quality of spinners in this country just isn't good enough
Moeen aside he bowled well, Rashid takes wickets but the Indians will hit him out the park he still struggled to land 6 bowls in the same area
Gone are the days of Monty/Swann ripping sides out in Asia which they did time and time again

Buttler is a class act and I would pick him any day over Hameed. Why would you not ?

Because he doesn't deserve it. He's never shown anything like his one day form in longer format cricket. That's just the way it is for some players. We're going to end up with a reverse Matt Prior situation where he's forever getting picked and dropped - for Prior it was one day cricket, for Buttler it will be test cricket.

Picking players on what might be is what got them into this mess with Ballance in the first place. When Buttler averages 100 in county cricket like Bairstow went back and did then fair enough. As it stands though if they're looking for another longer format keeper/batsman then Foakes should be ahead of him.

They'll look at this and hopefully come to the conclusion that in tests you really need someone to bat all day and all night....which sounds like HH to me.
There's plenty further down the batting order who can up the run-rate if we have a solid base.

Buttler might be a great or good test player in the future, but still crazy to bring him in the side in india where he struggled against spin and spinners in the past.
lets not forget he got dropped because he failed against lyon in england and he did struggle with ashwin/jadeja in the 2013 champions trophy as well.
Might have fix his problem against turn but is it really smart to pick a player that struggled against spinners and hasn't actually played much first class cricket to see if he actually fixed the problem that caused lyon to trouble him so much in the 2015 ashes.

from what I seen of the pitches not sure buttler or any of the batsman doing much anyway, can only actually see Cook, Woakes and root scoring runs.

Hopefully after we get demolished by India, counties start to prepare more spin-friendly pitches for County Championship matches

For England to not have a single quality spinner is appalling.

As for Gary Ballance, go back to Yorkshire and never, ever, ever, ever play for England again you fraud

Most of our player seem to play spin badly so why not play Buttler and hope that he gets a quick 40-50 runs. Rather that than suffer Gary Ballance scratching around for 5 runs off 100 balls
