Bangladesh's Australian coach Jamie Siddons was upset by a number of decisions which went against his side on day three of the second Test against England in Dhaka.

The tourists ended the day on 440-8, in reply to Bangladesh's first-innings total of 419, but appeared to be fortunate not to lose wickets on several occasions.

Umpires Tony Hill and Rod Tucker handed Matt Prior (62) an lbw reprieve when he had only made nine, Tim Bresnan (74 not out) was lucky on five when a close-in catch was claimed and Ian Bell (138) could easily have been given out lbw on 82.

Siddons said: "There were probably three or four decisions I was unhappy with. Hindsight makes it easy for me to be critical but that's the game.

"Umpires do make mistakes, but it made it hard for us although we're still in the game. It's still pretty even.

"I definitely never felt Australia were on the wrong end (of umpiring decisions), but with Bangladesh, I definitely think it comes out against us. I don't know why."
