maiden 10-wicket haul has made him the first England bowler in six years to rise to second position in the ICC player rankings for Test bowlers, behind Dale Steyn of South Africa.

The 30-year-old off-spinner recorded match figures of 78.3-19-217-10 to bowl England to a 181-run victory over Bangladesh in Chittagong, giving his side a 1-0 lead in the two-Test series.

The wickets have moved Swann up three places in the rankings, making him the first England bowler to claim second position in the bowling table since Steve Harmison in December 2004.

In the past eight months Swann has played 10 Tests, taking 45 wickets, including 14 against Australia and 21 against South Africa. His total of 783 points puts him in 28th position in the all-time England Test bowlers list – the last English spinner to have more points was Derek Underwood in 1977 and the last English off-spinner with more points was Fred Titmus in 1965.
