Tamim Iqbal hammered a second successive century against England but a batting collapse left Bangladesh in trouble in the second Test at Old Trafford.

The tourists slipped from 126 without loss to be bowled out for 216 by the end of the second day, Graeme Swann picking up five for 76 while debutant Ajmal Shahzad claimed three late wickets.

England had earlier been bowled out for 419 in their first innings, Ian Bell top-scoring with 128, his 11th Test ton, while Matt Prior made 93.

Both batsmen eventually fell to Shakib Al Hasan, the Bangladesh captain going on to finish with impressive figures of five for 121.

However it was Tamim who was the star turn for the Tigers again, the opener following up his 103 at Lord's with another enthralling knock in Manchester.

Just as he had done in the first Test, where he also made 55 in the first innings, the left-hander went on at faster than a run-a-ball. He belted 11 fours and one almighty six over long-on off the bowling of Graeme Swann.

Imrul Kayes continued to prove the perfect foil in their first-wicket partnership, the duo coasting through past 100 before England finally struck.

It was Steven Finn who made the breakthrough, the bowling hero from the victory in the series opener getting Kayes to have a hook at a bouncer that sent the ball straight down Shahzad's throat at fine leg.

From that stage onwards Bangladesh fell away in spectacular fashion, Swann removing Junaid Siddique with a superb delivery that turned and took the outside edge, before bowling Jahurul Islam through the gate for five.

In between Tamim's knock came to an end in rather tame fashion, a thin edge off James Anderson going through to wicketkeeper Prior.

By this stage it was becoming a procession - Swann (10) tempting both Shakib into a drive that only ended up in the hands of first slip.

The off-spinner picked up the final two wickets to complete his seventh five-wicket haul, though only after Shahzad had helped mop up the tail following an expensive first spell in Test cricket.

England will now ponder overnight whether to enforce the follow-on. They would have been in an even stronger position had they scored more runs first time around, particularly as they had at one stage been 376 for five.

Bell had wasted little time at the start of the day in going through to his third Test hundred against the Tigers. He twice used his feet to drive Shakib down the ground, though the bowler had his revenge before the session was over.

A delivery from the left-armer pitched outside leg stump before turning sharply past the outside edge and clipping the top of off.

The departure of Bell ended a sixth-wicket stand of 153 and sparked a lower-order collapse, the final five wickets going down for 43.

Swann provided a little cameo with 20 from 17 balls before being trapped lbw by spinner Abdur Razzak right on the stroke of lunch.

With debutant Ajmal Shahzad perishing for five soon after the break, Prior was forced to chance his arm as he began to run out of support. Having connected well with a reverse-sweep earlier in the day, the right-hander tried to repeat the trick again, only to find the hands of Jahurul at point.

It was Shakib who removed the wicketkeeper-batsman seven short of a ton, and the Tiger skipper quickly completed his five-wicket haul by pinning number 11 Steven Finn leg before just two deliveries later.
