The Yorkshire seamer has been absent from England's line-up since the first Test against Zimbabwe last May, when he sustained a knee problem.

He announced his return by claiming three wickets in a six-over spell to improve the tourists' morale after they had slumped to 253 all out against a side made up of mainly under-19 players.

Hoggard struck in his third over to remove openers Hannan Sarkar and Nafees Iqbal to slip catches and then returned to dismiss Ashifqur Rahman.

Martin Saggers, playing his first senior match for England, claimed two victims as the President's line-up slumped to 46 for six in reply.

Their late successes at least gave England encouragement after the earlier collapse with the last eight wickets falling for 72 runs in the first of only two warm-up matches before the opening Test at the National Stadium on October 21.
