No sooner did England begin their attempt to salvage the game than Alistair Cook fell lbw to Mitchell Johnson for six - playing across his frontpad, and Ravi Bopara misjudged the length of a straight ball from Ben Hilfenhaus and was also adjudged lbw for one.
Pietersen, meanwhile, was fortunate on 30 when he played across a delivery from Hossain and was hit on the pad in front of middle stump, but umpire Tony Hill gave him the benefit of the doubt.
