Before their unexpected collapse, the host had demonstrated some positive intent to increase its nighttime total.Mehidy was unbeaten overnight but was caught at gully by Amir Hamza off Yamin to end his promising innings at 48.In the next over from Nijat, Mushfiqur Rahim (47) and Taijul Islam (0) joined Mehidy before Yamin removed Taskin for two.Nijat next bowled Shoriful to complete his five-for and end Bangladesh's batting in an unexpectedly quick fashion.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
