Hasan claims maiden home fifer as Bangladesh fight back against Windies
Bangladesh bounced back in style in the morning session on day two against West Indies, with pacer Hasan Mahmud leading the charge by claiming a five-wicket haul at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium today.
The visitors are 322 for eight at lunch from their overnight score of 235 for four.
Hasan made early inroads with the second new ball, dismissing overnight centurion Aamir Jangoo in the 82nd over. Jangoo, who had struck a commanding 133, shouldered arms to a delivery that went on to disturb his stumps.
Hasan struck again off the very next delivery,
Hasan struck again off the very next delivery, removing Roston Chase to put himself on a hat-trick. However, Joshua Bishop survived the hat-trick ball, with replays showing an inside edge after he was initially given out leg-before.
Hasan’s other victims in the innings were Kavem Hodge, Kevin Wickham and Joshua Bishop, completing his five-wicket haul in the innings.
It was the fifth five-wicket haul of Hasan’s Test career. He had last achieved the feat against Afghanistan in October last year, but this was his first five-wicket haul on home soil.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz also chipped
Mehidy Hasan Miraz also chipped in with a crucial breakthrough to keep the visitors in check.
Mehidy, brought into the attack in place of Taijul Islam, struck with his very first delivery, becoming the first spinner to take a wicket in the Test. He bowled a full delivery just outside off-stump to Justin Greaves, who attempted to defend it but was beaten on the outside edge as the ball went straight on to knock back his off-stump.
Greaves departed for 51 off 112 deliveries, with four boundaries.
