Rajshahi made to follow-on

Dhaka dominated with the ball against Rajshahi in the third day of the National League yesterday.

In reply to Dhaka's huge 500, Rajshahi folded cheaply in their first innings, being dismissed for only 174 runs after resuming the day at 92-3. Anisur Rahman was the top scorer with 59 off 108 in which he hammered nine boundaries. Left-arm duo, Elias Sunny and Mosharraf Hossain shone. The former took three for 34 while Mosharraf Hossain, following his brilliant century with the bat, claimed two for 32.

Dhaka enforced the follow-on, and sent in to bat again, Rajshahi improved, scoring 155 for the loss of two wickets. They still trail by 171 runs with a day left to play. Opener Myshukur Rahman looks set for back-to-back centuries after finishing the day on 89 from 142 balls. Fifty of Myshukur's runs came in boundaries in the form of 11 fours and one six. Farhad Hossain played a steady innings of 47, but fell to Elias just four overs before the end of the days play. Farhad Reza was the other unbeaten batsman on three.

It was another seven wicket haul by Sylhet's young sensation Shaker Ahmed, which managed to give them a 39-run first innings lead against Chittagong at the BKSP.

This was the second consecutive time Shaker picked up seven wickets. n the last match against Barisal, he bagged 7-87. Shaker's magic left-arm bowling earned him seven all important wickets for just 78 runs. Only Faisal Hossain managed 53 runs, but he too fell to Shaker.

Sylhet could not capitalize and they finished the day losing six wickets for only 80 runs. Tasamul on 28 and Golam Mabud on seven were at the crease. Abdullah Al Mamun struck twice to send both Imtiaz Hossain and Golam Rahman for zero.

Meanwhile in Chittagong's Zahur Ahmed Stadium, Barisal took a slim three run lead in their first innings against Khulna after they declared on 200-9. Resuming the day on 93-5, Nasiruddin Faruque hit five boundaries in his calm innings of 70 from 183 which helped Barisal to reach the 200 mark.

Khulna in their second innings were 92 for three with 72 of those runs coming from the bat of Robiul Islam who hit nine boundaries in his knock. Monir Hossain, Shohag Gazi and Shafaq Al Zabir claimed one wicket each.
