BANGLADESH

BCB Red opener Imrul Kayes and BCB Green paceman Shahadat Hossain starred for their respective sides on day two of the four-day practice match on Tuesday.

Kayes, who usually plays second-fiddle to Tamim Iqbal for the Tigers, displayed his trademark qualities in making 85 runs in his three-hour stay at the crease at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.

The left-hander's 133-ball vigil contained 14 fours and a six to help BCB Red reach 215 for seven in reply to their opponents 281.

Tamim (1) was not the only senior batsman to have a bad day at the office. New Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim (20), Mohammad Ashraful (16), Mahmudullah (21) all failed to convert their starts into big runs.

Shahadat was the pick of the BCB Green bowlers as he finished with 3-52 in nine overs.

Resuming on 254-6, BCB Green's last four wickets added 27 runs.

All-rounder Naeem Islam, who put on 126 runs for the sixth-wicket with Mominul Islam (72) on Monday, was snapped up by pacer Shafiul Islam without adding to his overnight score of 95 with the total still on 254 runs.

Then left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak, who almost had a hat-trick, ended the innings taking the last three wickets.

Shafiul finished with three for 42 while Razzak took 3-10 in only 2.1 overs.
