Habibul_fan, I think we jinxed Sumon's century with all that talk of 1000 runs this calendar year - becasue soon after our exchange he departed.
Rajin Saleh's freak dismissal was a bigger blow perhaps. Not only did he and Mashud slmost see out the rest of the day's play with a 60+ partnership, the two of them could have hung around a bit more tomorrow ensuring the innings could stretch out to between lunch/tea on the 2nd day. That dismissal on 49 must have taken all the wind out of Bangladesh and really pumped up Pakistan at the end of play. Still, if they can get to 300+ it will have been a good first innings.
