Trott sparkles as England hit 362 for four

Jonathan Trott scored an unbeaten 175 today on the opening day of the first Test against Bangladesh as hosts England reached 362 for 4, exploiting a flat Lord\'s wicket and an innocuous bowling attack.



The South African-born Trott recorded the second century and highest score of his England career. The first century was on debut against Australia last year.



England captain Andrew Strauss, who has taken a break from the game for the past six months, returned and scored 83 as he and Trott put on 181 after Bangladesh put England in to bat.



There were disappointments for several England batsmen. Opener Alastair Cook fell for just 7 when he was trapped leg before wicket, big-hitting Kevin Pietersen sparkled briefly before falling to a rash shot on 18, and Ian Bell stumbled his way to 17 before misjudging a ball and was bowled.



Bowling for Bangladesh, Shahadat Hossain, Shakib Al Hasan, Rubel Hossain and Mahmudullah have taken a wicket a piece.
