Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan said, "We bowled really well. They had a good start given the conditions, overall a very good team effort.

There is no good way to get out, but it was a tough wicket to start on and Duckett was doing well, we needed someone to stay with him.
I thought it was an outstanding bowling performance to defend a low total, we bowled without luck as well but really proud of everyone's effort."
