ENG vs BCBXI: Day Three

[chinaman]

BD-XI: 38/1 (17 overs, HS:9, AA:8)

[Sham]

Aftab is batting on 18 and Hannan on 14. Bright start by BCBP XII.One short of first innings score. If we can play out till stumps and not lose more than 3 or 4 wickets, I'll be very happy.

[fwullah]

BCB XI 69/1 in 27 overs.

Aftab Ahmed on 31 (47 balls)
Hannan Sarkar 14 (88 balls)

Is Aftab Ahmed playing for a position at the test squad and pressure of captancy got Hannan Sarkar?

Or is it that Hannan Sarkar is just trying to play responsibly and so playing way too defensively?

[chinaman]

Target: Good personal showing towards a respectable draw.

BCB XI: 76/1 in 29 overs (Tea)
