BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew becomes the latest former England cricketer to be asked by the MCC to ring the Lord's pavilion bell to signal five minutes before the start of the day's play
After a weather-affected third day, day four of the first Test begins with Bangladesh 237-7, still 69 short of the target they need to avoid the follow-on - with Mahmudullah and Shahadat Hossain at the crease
Shahadat rides his luck with a couple of lucky swipes over the slips, but eventually sees his technique exposed as he is yorked by a slower ball from James Anderson, the 12th delivery of the morning
The Bangladesh tail-enders manage a few lucky boundaries, but eventually perish with their side still 223 runs behind England, and the Tigers are asked to follow on
Tamim Iqbal wastes little time in tucking into the England bowling as Bangladesh bat again before lunch. A series of attacking strokes see him and Imrul Kayes put on 50 for the second time in the match
The pair continue to frustrate the England bowlers after the interval, with Steven Finn one of those to suffer. Bangladesh still have a huge amount of work to do though
Tamim passes 50 for the second time in the match before Kayes eventually registers his maiden Test half-century. All of a sudden England's bowlers look short of ideas
Tamim goes on to reach a brilliant century with another clubbed boundary off Tim Bresnan. The 21-year-old celebrates wildly in the direction of his delighted team-mates up on the visitors' balcony
While Tamim is stealing the show out in the middle, Kevin Pietersen is the centre of attention on the boundary as dozens of children ask the England batsman for autographs
Tamim only adds three more runs to his score after reaching his hundred though, as Jonathan Trott takes a fine catch at deep backward square-leg off the impressive Finn
And so often when a long partnership is broken, the second partner falls soon after the first as Kayes prods Finn to Ian Bell at short leg for 75; Bangladesh reach 189-2 at tea, still 34 runs behind
In glorious sunshine at Lord's, plenty of supporters looking to cool down seek out some refreshment - including pop singer (and Test Match Special fan) Lily Allen
After tea, Jahurul Islam takes the attack to Graeme Swann, hitting a couple of lofted drives as Bangladesh look to chip away at England's lead, eventually wiping out the deficit around 40 minutes into the evening session
England begin to toil in the field as their four-man attack struggles to trouble the Bangladesh batsmen, who look in little danger as the session goes on
Desperate for a breakthrough, England turn to the part-time medium pace of Jonathan Trott - and he takes a diving return catch to dismiss Jahurul Islam (46) and claim his first Test wicket; Bangladesh are 289-3
The new ball is taken after 80 overs - and Anderson immediately reaps the benefit, inducing Mohammad Ashraful to edge a catch to keeper Matt Prior; Bangladesh are 321-4, 98 ahead
Having slogged mightily in the first innings, Shahadat Hossain is an odd choice for nightwatchman, and joins a select band of Test players to be dismissed twice on the same day when he is yorked by Tim Bresnan late on
