Bangladesh all out for 233 in 1st innings

DHAKA, Sept 30, 2024 (BSS) - Mominul Haque struck his 13th ton as Bangladesh were wrapped up for 233 in its first innings of the second and final cricket Test against India at Green Park in Kanpur today.

The Tigers' innings came to an end just after the lunch session on Day 4 with Mominul stranding on 107 not out.

The Test saw some action today following two washed out days on Day 2 and 3.

It was Mominul's only second Test ton outside of the country. He raised the century, sweeping Ravichandran Ashwin past square leg for a boundary off 172 balls.

Bangladesh resumed the day at 107-3 and Mominul played some confident shots, specially against the spinners to keep the side afloat. But the other batters found it tough to deal with the Indian bowlers who bowled with venom as India were seeking an unlikely result.

Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah gave the side first breakthrough of the day, rattling the stump of Mushfiqur Rahim who was out for 11 after adding five runs to his overnight total.

His new ball partner Mohammed Siraj then struck with the wicket of Liton Das (13) who was victimized by a stunning catch of Rohit Sharma at mid-off.

Shakib Al Hasan, potentially playing his last match with Bangladesh jersey, struck two boundaries to briefly bring back his heydays but Ashwin in his first over of the day had him caught by Siraj at mid-off for 9.

Mominul was unfazed by the wickets tumbling around him as he took the Indian bowlers with precision to keep the scoreboard moving.

He, alongside Miraz, saw off the morning session without any fuss but Bangladesh lost the rest of the four wickets for 28 runs in the post lunch session.

Bumrah and Siraj wrecked havoc on lower order with the former ending up 3-50.

Siraj, Ashwin and Akash Deep Singh took two wickets apiece while Ravindra Jadeja picked up one.

India lead the series 1-0 following its 280-run win in the first Test in Chennai.
