(dailystarnews.com)

Bangladesh A were forced to follow-on the second day of their three-day match against Kenya Cricket Association (KCA) Eleven at the Aga Khan Sports ground in Nairobi yesterday.

The visitors were dismissed for 223 after the home team posted an imposing first innings total of 512.

The second string national side were 12 for one at the close, still needing another 277 runs on the final day to save the match. Skipper Sanwar Hossain and Tushar Imran repaired the early damage after Bangladesh lost four wickets cheaply.

Opener Javed Omar scored only six in his comeback match. Mohammad Ashraful also scored a disappointing seven and Mazharul Haque celebrated his call up to the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy with a duck. Hannan scored 26.

But it was the fifth wicket stand between Sanwar and Tushar that pulled the tourists out of a hole.

Tushar scored 98 and Sanwar made 63. But once the pair was sent packing the wheels fell off the Bangladesh innings.

Earlier, the virtual full-strength Kenyan side added 70 runs to their overnight 452 for six before being all out in the morning session.

One-day specialist Ravindu Shah was the tormentor with a cracking 184.

For Bangladesh A right-arm paceman Anwar Hossain Monir captured four wickets while occasional leg-spinner Ashraful took three.

They will play two three-day day matches and three limited-overs games during the tour of Kenya.
