Rain denies Eng again

SPORTS REPORTER
Rain ruined England's prospect of a win ahead of the first Test when their second three-day match against Bangladesh A at the BKSP ground in Savar was abandoned as a draw yesterday.
The home team was in trouble at 81 for four, still ten runs behind England's first innings lead, when they left for lunch with the rain starting to fall.
England captain Michael Vaughan perhaps sensing that no more play was possible on the final day decided not to return to the field and the Bangladesh A captain Rajin Saleh readily accepted the offer.
It was first second time poor weather had denied the tourists success after last week's rain-interrupted first warm up match against the BCB President's Eleven at the Bangabandhu National Stadium.
While Vaughan disappointed the pressmen by not showing up at the post-match briefing, his coach Duncan Fletcher said that he was not upset with the outcome. Rather the Zimbabwean felt that two days of clear skies was very helpful for his players to acclimatize.
He was particularly happy with the performance of his two spinners Ashley Giles and Gareth Batty.
"We are very pleased at the way the two spinners bowled today. Giles bounced back while young Batty got better bounce and movements on both sides of the wicket," said the England coach.
Batty, who plays for Worcestershire, toppled the A team top-order with his off-breaks. The 25-year-old did his chances of winning a first Test cap no harm by claiming three wickets for 19 runs.
The home side resuming on six without loss slumped to 67-4 but not before first innings centurion Nafees Iqbal provided some fireworks in his 53-ball 31.
The young opener from Chittagong who struck a superb 118 once again showed his showed his promise with some magnificent shots all around the park. But no sooner had Nafees returned to the dressing room flashing paceman Stephen Harmison down the throat of Graham Thorpe at gully, Bangladesh lost four wickets in the space of 27 runs.
Aftab Ahmed failed to celebrate his Test call up when the attacking right-hander offered a simple catch at extra cover to give Batty his first wicket.
Batty's second victim was Saleh who offered a bat-pad catch at forward short leg after scoring only one.
Nazimuddin may have been unlucky in the first innings but there was nothing wrong with the way he
was out on Saturday.
The English think-tank was yet to decide on the Test squad.
"I don't want to say that things are settled down after two warm-up matches. We have not fixed our batting line-up and also we have different bowling options to consider," Fletcher said.
On the other hand he was very impressed with wicketkeeper Chris Read's 82 in the first innings. Fletcher rated all-rounder Rikki Clark slightly ahead of Paul Collingwood.
The England coach was a little concerned about his captain's form. Vaughan has only scored less than fifty runs in both practice matches.
