Kanpur Test
Mominul Scores 100, Bangladesh 205/6 at Lunch
Bangladesh finished at 205/6 at lunch on the 4th day of the 2nd Test against India at the Green Park Stadium today.
There was cricket at last as the sun emerged out with a clear outfield for the action to resume after two-and-a-half days. Bangladesh's Mominul Haque scored a hundred as India managed to nab three wickets at the other end.
Earlier, Mushfiqur Rahim (11) was the first batter to depart, leaving a Jasprit Bumrah delivery that crashed onto his stumps.
Bangladesh lost their second wicket of the day as Liton Das departed courtesy of a brilliant one-handed catch from Rohit Sharma.
Liton charged down the wicket against pacer Mohammad Siraj and tried to smash the ball over the in-field. But Rohit, who was at mid-wicket, got his right hand up in a flash and the ball went straight into his hand.
Liton departed for 13 and his dismissal has brought Shakib Al Hasan to the middle, who joins a well-set Mominul Haque batting on 62.
Earlier on Day 1, Indian captain Rohit Sharma had invited Bangladesh to bat first after winning the toss. Seamer Akash Deep struck twice in the first session, removing Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam. Ravichandran Ashwin then clinched the wicket of Najmul Hossain Shanto as Bangladesh remained at 107/3 before the Stumps were called after just 35 overs of play on Day 1.
Bangladesh trail 1-0 in the two-match series after losing the first Test to the hosts in Chennai by a dominant margin of 280 runs. The visitors had arrived in India on the back of a 2-0 whitewashing of Pakistan away from home.
