BBC Test Match SpecialPeople are still heading into the ground. It's hot and humid, but if you're a Bangladeshi, who cares? You could see history today, it would be a big moment in their country's history.
Ban 261-8published at 80 overs
25 runs required
Taijul wafts at one outside off stump and misses. He is still there, though. Job done.
New ball is available. England won't be taking it.
Ban 261-8published at 79.3 overs
25 runs required
Big moment. Taijul gloves a big pull shot to a Stokes bouncer and it sends the ball flying over Bairstow and away to the rope. No control in the shot. Bangladesh and their fans don't care one bit.

Seam from both ends as Ben Stokes rumbles in. Sabbir is happy to take a single and give responsibility to Taijul.

Philip Huntsman: Take note England. This is what happens when you prepare a pitch based on exciting cricket rather than max £££.
James Smith: England MUST win this Test - for the sanity of any Englishman currently playing cricket in Australia!

BBC Test Match SpecialI heard Bairstow mutter last night "I wish I'd taken that catch".
Ban 256-8published at 79 overs
30 runs required
Taijul stands tall, with a solid back-foot defence. It is a modest crowd but they are making themselves heard. They are here for some history.
Ban 256-8published at 78.4 overs
30 runs required
Oh, Sabbir almost plays on to his own stumps, playing off the back foot. A bit of luck and it brings him a single. Over to you Taijul.
Ban 255-8published at 78.3 overs
31 runs required
The fist runs of the day come from a gentle push from Sabbir into deep cover. Two less runs required.

Ex-England spinner on BBC Radio 5 live sports extraBangladesh's pattern in this match has been to block the seamers and attack the spinners and that might continue. Last night Taijul played some pretty exotic shots and got away with it. Sabbir we know is a firm aggressor against the off-spinner. On this pitch it does make so much difference if it is spinning in or away from you.

The players are out. Get ready to chew your nails. England are turning to Stuart Broad. He is a man for the big moment...

The tourists ended day four on 185-8, chasing 219 for victory. Sean Pollock and Allan Donald were at the wicket.
Darren Gough and Angus Fraser did the business for England on the morning of day five to give England a 23-run win.

Ebnul Karim: Can't sleep, passing a tensed night,waiting & praying for a historic win for Bangladesh. Can we hold the pressure?
Albert Freeman: Whatever result I wake up to, I just hope Bangladesh don't lose by only a couple of runs.

Ex-England spinner on BBC Radio 5 live sports extraI think the break will have helped England. Whats been so intriguing about this match is the captain has had so many option, not always nice options. I would go with Broad but I would want a spinner to start with. I'm tempted by Moeen because he's our best spinner to left-handers, but he is a risk because he is also the most vulnerable to the right-handers.
Decisions, decisionspublished at 04:54 British Summer Time 24 October 2016
Image source, Getty ImagesAlastair Cook has a dilemma on his hands here. Does he start with spin or seam?
Spin bowling has done a lot of damage in this Test on a turning track, but it was seamer Ben Stokes who rattled through the Bangladesh tail on the morning of day four and Stuart Broad who dragged England back into the game last night. Plus, the ball is 78 overs old.
Two spinners? Two seamers? Mix and match? With just a 33-run buffer he can't afford to get it wrong.

Ex-England batter on Test Match SpecialFor me it’s clear, do not take the new ball – there could be reverse swing with the old one and two it’s going to be a lot easier to attack the new ball. If after five or six overs it's not looking helpful they might turn to the new ball.
