Fresh from their World Twenty20 triumph, England have Andrew Strauss (right) back as captain as they begin the build-up to next winter's Ashes series with two Tests against Bangladesh
Bangladesh choose to bowl after winning the toss and paceman Shahadat Hossain makes an early breakthrough, winning a slightly fortuitous lbw decision against Alastair Cook in the fifth over
Strauss has not had the best of starts to the summer with Middlesex, but he finds his rhythm with some thumping strokes as he and Jonathan Trott lay a solid foundation for England
Trott produces the shot of the morning with a glorious cover drive for four off Shahadat, one of five boundaries in a 75-ball half century by the Warwickshire batsman
His own Test career may be over because of injury, but 2005 and 2009 Ashes hero Andrew Flintoff is unable to resist the lure of Lord's to watch his former team-mates attempt to build a big total
Mushfiqur Rahim, older and wiser than when he made his Bangladesh Test debut as a 16-year-old at Lord's in 2005, looks concerned about England's rate of progress after lunch
With a century seemingly his for the taking, Strauss drags a ball from off-spinner Mahmudullah into his stumps on 83 and is disgusted with himself as he returns to the pavilion
Having seen his captain miss out on a hundred, Trott does not make the same mistake as he reaches three figures for England for the first time since last summer's decisive Ashes Test at The Oval
The crowd are hoping for some fireworks from Kevin Pietersen, but left-arm spin is again his undoing as he loses his balance attempting a wild drive off Shakib Al Hasan and is bowled for 18
The dismissal of Pietersen just before tea is a major boost for Bangladesh skipper Shakib (left), having seen his bowlers struggle to justify his decision to put England in
Ian Bell starts his innings with an average of 252 against Bangladesh in Tests but he only manages 17 before a beauty from Rubel Hossain finds a gap between bat and pad and hits the off-stump
Bell's departure gives Middlesex's Eoin Morgan the chance to sample Test cricket for the first time, becoming the first Dubliner to do so for England since the 1890s
Imrul Kayes has to leave the field after being struck on the side of the helmet by a powerful pull shot from Morgan while fielding at short leg
Morgan promised he would be willing to use the switch-hit sweep shot which has proved so successful in Twenty20 cricket and he is as good as his word as he collects a boundary in the final session
Morgan congratulates Trott (right), who hits his 17th boundary in the final over of play to reach 175 not out in England's close of play total of 362-4
