DHAKA: Bangladesh resumed the third day on a lead of 128 with seven wickets to spare in the second Test against England on Sunday morning (October 30).
The host, earlier on Saturday (October 29), scored 152 for three at stumps on day-2 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.
Shakib Al Hasan joined the session with Imrul Kayes with a hope to build a good partnership.
Like the first innings, opening batsman Tamim Iqbal build up base making 40 runs before losing his wicket. Team-score was 65 then.
Later, Imrul Kayes and Mahmullah build a strong partnership scoring not out 59 and 47 runs respectively.
Mahmullah’s out due to his over-confident shot in the last ball of the day, however, disappointed Bangladesh fans.
The visitors earlier scored 244-run losing all wickets in 81.3-over thanks to the dogged 99-run 9th wicket partnership between Chris Woakes (46) and Adil Rashid (44*).
Bangladesh, in their first innings, managed to score 220, though Tamim Iqbal earned 104 and Mominul Haque 66.
England won the first test against the host by 22 runs in Chittagong.
