Bangladesh suffers early batting jolt in first session of 2nd Test
DHAKA, Nov 11, 2018 (BSS)-Bangladesh today suffered early batting jolt as
they lost three quick wickets in the first session scoring 56 for 3 at lunch
against visiting Zimbabwe on the first day of the second and final Test at
Sher- e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium at Mirpur.
Kyle Jarvis launched early inroad on Bangladesh innings removing both the
Bangladesh openers. He first sent back to opener Imrul who backed to the
pavilion without disturbing the score board.
Liton Das also lasted a little as he failed to keep the ball on the
ground, driving the ball in the air, straight to the man to become Jarvis’s
second victim.
Debutant Mohammad Mithun also open his account as he perished to Donald
Tiripano leaving Bangladesh in deep trouble.
Mushfiqur Rahim and Mominul Haque, two of Tigers’ regular performers in
Test cricket are in the process of rebuilding the innings. Mominul Haque with
25 and Mushfiqur with 12 on the crease as the umpire removed the bails for
lunch break.
Jarvis claimed two Tigers wickets conceding 20 runs while Donald Tiripano
took one wicket for 10.
Earlier Bangladesh has won the important toss and has opted to bat first
against visiting Zimbabwe in the second and final Test.
Bangladesh has rung in three changes. Najmul Hossain Shanto, Abu Jayed and
