GRAEME Swann believes England are in a “magnificent position” to clinch the first Test against Bangladesh, but warned that the hosts will be no pushovers over the final two days.
Swann took five wickets in an innings for the fifth time in Test cricket as England bowled the Tigers out for 296 – 303 shy of the tourists’ 599 for six declared.
“We’re over 430 ahead after three days and you can’t argue with that, we’re in a magnificent position,” he said.
“Yes, we lost a couple of wickets at the end, which isn’t ideal, but with two days to play I think we’re in the box seat.
“We’re confident we can do well.”
