Bangladesh destroyed as twice England achieve the perfect 10

Steve Finn – with his second five-wicket haul in as many Tests – and James Anderson were the enforcers yesterday at Old Trafford, after captain Andrew Strauss unsurprisingly made the tourists follow on.

They duly collapsed to 123 all out, replicating Saturday night's disappointments but this time without the 108-run start opener Tamim Iqbal gave them on day two.

England, who had scored a laboured if eventually wide-margin victory at Lord's last week and had to work hard too for their 2-0 win in Bangladesh three months ago, have resoundingly confirmed their superiority in Manchester.

First they batted deep to post a match-controlling 419, overcoming early blips on a spinner's pitch which confounded expectations of a much faster surface.

Then after weathering a storm from Tamim – so prolific against England – Graeme Swann and the pace attack picked off the Bangladeshis almost at will.

England set up the victory on Saturday thanks largely to a return of 5-76 from Graeme Swann and 3-45 from Yorkshire debutant Ajmal Shahzad.

Huddersfield-born Shahzad, 24 – who was called in as replacement for his Yorkshire team-mate Tim Bresnan – made a stuttering start when he was first presented with the ball, but made up for it in the closing session after tea on Saturday.

Shahzad began his second spell with his maiden wicket – Mohammad Ashraful slapping a catch to point – and then two more at a cost of only 10 runs in four overs. Mahmudullah was bowled off-stump, playing inside the line, and Shahzad quickly got through Shafiul Islam's defences too.

England captain Andrew Strauss paid tribute to the new boys saying: "Ajmal Shazad and Steven Finn have shown they've got the capability required to play at this level

And on the decision on Saturday night to invoke the follow-on, Strauss said: "The wicket was deteriorating so it was tempting to battle again but we came in (Saturday night) and saw the forecast, then when we turned up here it was an easy decision to make.

"I'm pretty happy with our work over the two Tests. There are a lot of good things to come out of it but we are also aware there are more tests to come in the future. We're happy with how we've performed."

Team director Andy Flower said of the Yorkshire debutant: "Shazad showed good pace today ... it was good getting a look at him – he showed a lot of promise.

"And I think Eoin Morgan can be a Test player. He handles pressure well and I think we got little glimpses of him playing a different way. I think he can incorporate his attacking ways into Test cricket."

After a two-hour rain delay kept them waiting past an early lunch to start their second innings yesterday, Bangladesh were vulnerable from the moment Tamim went, caught behind to Anderson from the second ball of the day – registering his first score under 50 against England since Chittagong in March six innings ago.

Anderson got his man by the same method for the second time in three balls, but the delivery which saw off Tamim after his hundred on Saturday was a poor relation of the one which kicked from short of a length to do the trick this time.

Tamim's opening partner Imrul Kayes also departed with an identical scorecard entry for the second time in two sessions. It was a near action replay too as he failed to keep his hook at Finn down, picking out the same catcher too at deep backward-square rather than last night's long-leg.

There was an almost apologetic inevitability about the next two dismissals, Junaid Siddique pushing Anderson straight into the hands of gully and Jahurul Islam caught behind for a duck trying to cut Finn (5-42) – giving the tall seamer his second wicket for three runs in seven balls.

With the top four gone for single-figure scores, favourable bowling conditions still prevailing under heavy cloud cover and the threat of Swann's spin still to come if necessary, the game was surely already up.

Mohammad Ashraful at least managed double-figures before failing to deal with Anderson's bounce, fencing a catch to second slip.

Then debutant Shahzad got in on the act in his second over, having replaced Finn at the Brian Statham end, ripping one between Shakib Al Hasan's bat and pad on the back foot to hit the top of off-stump.

But Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah kept England at bay for the next 10 overs, and Anderson was persuaded to take a well-earned break with figures of 3-16 from 10 overs.

Prior, despite his three catches, was enduring an awkward day behind the stumps – and another four byes off Swann took Bangladesh past their worst Test total of 62. England's short patience test soon ended when Strauss recalled Finn, who struck with the first ball of his second spell – a half-volley which Mushfiqur chipped straight into the hands of substitute fielder Karl Brown at mid-on.

Mahmudullah stayed long enough to ensure he would be by far top-scorer and had just slapped Finn for two consecutive pulled fours when he went after another short ball, the last of the over, only to glove another one behind to Prior.

Abdur Razzak also decided it was time for a little defiance, taking the long handle to Swann with two fours and a six in the next over. But Finn was in the wings and had Shafiul Islam caught low down at slip, before another attempted big hit from Razzak ended up in a skier well taken at deep mid-off by Eoin Morgan – with Bangladesh still 80 runs short of making England bat again.

It was an ignominious end to the series for the tourists, who simply appeared to run out of puff after defying many predictions by proving plausible opponents for most of the first match but managing to do likewise for only short bursts in the second.

Bell's knock in the first inninngs provided the platform for England to build on and the Warwickshire batsman said: "You have to keep proving yourself and keep improving and I'm desperate to put in some more big performances for the team in the next 12 months.

"My play of spin has improved over the winter and my footwork was going nicely – I enjoyed it.

"It was a reality check having to go back to Warwickshire to get some form and win my place back. I've tried to fight hard for England, maybe that's what I've not done in the past...when the circumstances are tough, digging in for the team. It's nice to produce that."
