Bangladesh make steady progress
Sanjay Bangar struck with his first delivery of the tournament - a buffet ball that Mehrab Hossain inexplicably flicked straight to Ajit Agarkar at backward square leg - to put the brake on a spirited start to the Bangladeshi innings. Mehrab, who made 30 from just 35 balls, had given the innings its early impetus, playing superb strokes on either side of the wicket. His dismissal put pressure on a batting order that has been starved of runs for years now. And it duly told as Javed Omar gifted Sarandeep Singh a lobbed return catch off the leading edge (52 for 3).
