Bangladesh continued their dominance in the first Test against Sri Lanka with Najmul Hossain Shanto and captain Mominul Haque's mammoth partnership leading them to 474/4 at the end of Day 2.
Shanto, who started the day on his maiden test century at 126, was out for 163 soon after lunch to end their third-wicket stand. Mominul reached his 11th test century in the morning session.
Mominul’s 115 — reaching the 3,000 runs milestone in the process — helped Bangladesh set a fearsome 395 runs target for West Indies.
The left-handed batsman had shown slight symptoms earlier and underwent test, the result of which came out as positive.
Bangladesh ended the second day at 240/3, remaining only 25 runs behind Zimbabwe in the one-off Test.
In a low-scoring summit clash, Bangladesh first bowled India out for a paltry 177 in 47.2 overs and then did well enough to score the revised target of 170 in 42.1 overs under the Duckworth-Lewis method.
Bangladesh Test skipper Mominul Haque has insisted that the side will take learnings from the Test series against India and perform better in the 2020 season.
Here are some of the key stats from day 2 of the second Test between India and Bangladesh…
The current Bangladesh team have no pink ball experience even at the domestic level and they only had four sessions with the ball after the Indore Test.
Having won less than 20 Tests in the last 20 years is not a great statistic and Mominul wants some fresh perspective going forward.

Mominul Haque, who was appointed the Bangladesh Test captain in the absence of Shakib Al Hasan, has admitted that he was not ready for the leadership role.
Following a two-year ban on Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah and Mominul Haque will now lead the Bangladesh side for the India tour.
