In 2010, England locked horns with Bangladesh in the second Test at Old Trafford, following their eight-wicket victory at Lord’s. Batting first after winning the toss, England accumulated 419 runs on the board. Ian Bell and Matt Prior chipped in with their scores of 128 and 93 respectively to help their side to help their side score huge.

Defending the total, England dismissed Bangladesh on 216 and took a 203-run lead. Tamim Iqbal was the sole fighter from Bangladesh who played a 108-run knock. Along with his opening partner Imrul Kayes, the southpaw built a 126-run partnership. James Anderson, who was spearheading England’s bowling unit, picked up Iqbal's wicket.

With the healthy lead, England captain Andrew Strauss enforced the follow-on. This time, Anderson again hunted Iqbal on two on the second delivery of Bangladesh’s second innings. Following Iqbal’s scalp, Anderson dismissed Zunaed Siddique and Mohammad Ashraful as well. England won the match comfortably by an innings and 80 runs and Anderson picked up four wickets in the success.
