Bangladesh would be pleased to have contained England to 156 for six in the first T20I of the three-match series at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram today.

Sent in to bat, England captain and opener Jos Buttler led from the front to register 67 off 42 balls, striking four boundaries and as many maximums, but Bangladesh got back in the game in the final quarter of the innings.

Earlier, the Tigers had a glorious chance at removing Buttler in the sixth over when the hard-hitting right-hander skied Nasum Ahmed's delivery in the sixth over, only for Shakib to miss the catch at mid on region.

The platform had already been laid for the visitors, at 80 for naught in the 10th over, before England's first wicket fell as Nasum finally got his victim.

Shakib soon returned to redeem himself, this time off his own bowling, and thanks to a well-judged catch by Najmul Hossain Shanto at long on, in-form Dawid Malan went out for cheap.

Buttler and Ben Duckett then combined for a quick-fire 47-run stand before Mustafizur Rahman bowled the latter. The tail-up Tigers seized the momentum by removing Buttler in the next delivery, bowled by Hasan Mahmud. Shanto was again in the act and proved to be a pair of safe hands.

Boosted by consecutive dismissals, the Tigers were managed to contain the possible late onslaught as England could only tally 21 runs in the last four overs, two of which was bowled by Hasan Mahmud and right-arm quick only conceded five runs in the spell and picked two wicket, including Sam Curran's, while all other bowlers – Taskin Ahmed, Nasum, Shakib, Mustafizur – scalped one apiece.

Taiwanese rescue teams were trying Tuesday to retrieve the body of a dead hiker who became famous on social media for taking selfies on top of mountain peaks dressed in a bikini.

Gigi Wu -- dubbed the "Bikini Climber" by fans -- used a satellite phone on Saturday to tell friends she had fallen down a ravine in Taiwan's Yushan national park and badly injured herself.

Rescue helicopters struggled to reach her because of bad weather and officials eventually located her lifeless body on Monday.

"The weather conditions in the mountains are not good, we have asked our rescuers to move the body to a more open space and after the weather clears we will make a request for a helicopter to bring the body down," Lin Cheng-yi, from the Nantou County Fire and Rescue Services, told reporters.

Officials said Wu had told friends she was unable to move the lower half of her body after a fall of some 20-30 metres (65-100 feet) but was able to give her coordinates.

She is the latest in a string of social media adventure seekers who have met an untimely end.

Last week, the bodies of an Indian couple were found at the bottom of a popular overlook in California's Yosemite National Park after hikers alerted officials to their camera equipment at the top of the cliff.

New Taipei City native Wu, 36, built up a sizeable social media following through photos of herself at the top of mountains dressed in bikinis.

She usually wore hiking clothes to scale the mountains, only changing into a bikini once she reached the top.

In an interview with local channel FTV last year, she said she had scaled more than 100 peaks in four years.

"I put on a bikini in each one of the 100 mountains. I only have around 97 bikinis so I accidentally repeated some," she said.

When asked why she did it, she replied: "It just looks so beautiful, what's not to like?"

While Taiwan is a largely tropical country, it boasts a spine of towering peaks down its middle that regularly top 3,000 metres. In the winter, temperatures routinely drop well below freezing on the mountain slopes.

Lin said their top rescue team hiked for 28 hours to reach the body, only sleeping for three hours because they knew temperatures were rapidly plunging.

Bangladesh's tour of UAE was a largely successful one as the Tigers made it to the final of the 2018 Asia Cup despite numerous setbacks. However, for Bangladeshi reporters covering the event, it was an altogether different experience as they were often faced with harsh treatment from the ones organising media matters.

On Thursday, a letter bearing the names of 21 Bangladesh journalists was sent to the organisers, Asian Cricket Council, containing the grievances in detail. They are yet to respond or acknowledge receipt.

A regular feature of Bangladesh post-match press conferences, run by Dubai Sports City's media consultant Roshni Jayakrishnan, was reporters not being able to ask questions despite having their hands raised and receiving acknowledgement from Jayakrishnan. There were also numerous occasions when, after announcing the last-question warning, she meted out tongue-lashings to anyone asking follow-up questions -- the bread and butter of press conferences.

The other press contingents were not treated in this manner despite often ignoring the last-question warning to ask follow-up questions.

Another significant hindrance was the demand to ask questions in English. This was not seen to be made of Indian and Pakistani journalists, presumably because she understood Hindi and Urdu. However, it is also understood that at least one Sri Lankan presser was conducted mostly in Sinhalese. When told that not everyone was comfortable with the demand, Jayakrishnan had said that she had to do press releases and did not understand Bengali.

After the final, however, she responded to the protests of yet another abruptly ended presser by saying that the questions from Bangladeshi journalists were too repetitive, and that she understood Bengali. After the last-question warning during the India presser, follow-up questions were allowed for three further minutes. Jayakrishnan said that it was okay because they were winners.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board contributed to the problem by choosing not to send a media manager on tour to help facilitate matters. 

While the Tigers were battling it out for a much-awaited trophy against India in the final of the Asia Cup, their most assured batsman, Tamim Iqbal, was receiving treatment on his left hand's injured index finger knuckle from a doctor in England.

The left-hander had sustained the knock against Sri Lanka in the opening match of that tournament and was consequently ruled out of the tournament.

However, the dashing southpaw returned home from England yesterday with the good news that he would not require surgery and that he was expected to return to cricket after two months.

But even when Tamim was busy consulting doctors in England, his mind was still in Dubai; on the final of the Asia Cup where the Tigers fought till the last ball trying to defend their 222-run total before falling agonisingly short.

"I was unable to watch the final as I was busy with the doctor but I followed the scores online. So I was not aware what exactly happened on the field," Tamim told The Daily Star upon his return to the country yesterday.

Bangladesh failed to capitalise on a brilliant start from Liton Das and Mehedi Hasan, who put on a 120-run opening stand.

"One thing I can say is that after the 120 run partnership in 20 overs, I was hoping that Mushfiqur would come at number three in that situation. He was in good form and batted the best in the Asia Cup and if he batted at number three and formed a 40-50 runs partnership then we would have been 160 for one. It may have been good but this is my personal observation. At the same time it's easy to comment from the outside and I respect what the team management thought at that time," he said.

The 29-year-old also praised Liton, who struck his maiden ODI hundred in the final, and believed that it would boost his confidence for the future.  Tamim however was surprised to see Mehedi opening the innings and said that he never imagined such an outside-the-box decision which eventually paid off.

But the question still remains, what goes wrong for Bangladesh that leads to them not winning the trophies despite reaching finals and getting so close?

"Obviously not being able to win the trophy is disappointing as we have been saying that we are doing well in the ODIs. But after losing four-five finals I think we need to reach to the next level if we want to win a trophy. When we reach the next level our skills and mentality also improve so I think we should take the next step soon to achieve that. We have to be prepared for such situations next time as, apart from in one or two finals, all the other finals were very tense games. I think we should hold our nerves for longer," said Tamim.

The Tigers returned home on Saturday with their heads held high, but skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza believes they need to overcome a mental block to lift a trophy.

"There is a mental block and to overcome the hurdle it's important for us to win a tournament. If we can do that then it's possible for us to win big tournaments in the future," said Mashrafe before praising his charges for showing strong character.

Rubel Hossain is known for blowing hot and cold in a career spanning over a decade. Prone to err in the death overs, the right-arm pacer with a slinging action perhaps bowled his best ten overs in the one-day international against India in the Asia Cup final on Friday. His figures of 10-2-26-2 was a demonstration of how well he bowled in Dubai. He had Ravindra Jadeja caught in the 48th over, which was his last over, to create that window for a late twist in a pulsating final that Bangladesh lost off the last ball of the game.  

There has been a lot of debate on social media and elsewhere regarding Liton Das's stumping by Mahendra Singh Dhoni in Friday's Asia Cup final. The decision was very close, as multiple angles of the sequence showed, before the third umpire finally ruled in favour of India. Here is what Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza had to say about this: "It is hard to tell. At one point we felt it was not out. I think the third umpire can say it better. Maybe it will be discussed later."
