Dhaka: On the first day of the one-off Test on Wednesday, Bangladesh crushed an inept Afghanistan to reach 362-5. Najmul Hossain notched his third Test century.
With Mahmudul Hasan, who scored 76 runs to reach his third Test fifty, Najmul Hossain Shanto put up a 212-run second-wicket partnership and scored 146 off 175 balls to set up a commanding total.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz was on 43 and Mushfiqur Rahim was still alive when terrible lighting caused the first day’s play to end with 11 over remaining.
