DHAKA, March 1, 2019 (BSS) – Part time bowler Soumya Sarkar finally got his
revenge as he could stop New Zealand’s opener Tom Latham at 161 runs.
Soumya dropped a simple catch at the start of the New Zealand innings,
allowing Latham to compile his giant score in the first Test in Hamilton.
Latham left that shot alone for another 246 deliveries before he poked
with a wide delivery from Soumya and this time, Mohammad Mithun ensured his
dismissal.
It left the Black Caps at a dominant 333 for two on the second day of the
Test, leading Bangladesh by 99 with eight wickets in hand till the report
filling on.
Latham is enjoying a purple patch of form with three centuries in his last
four Test innings, and his latest knock was the fourth time in nine Test
centuries that he has passed 150.
On the second ball he faced, he survived an edge that flew straight to
second slip where Soumya grassed the routine catch.
