Afghanistan Bundled Out for 146 in First Innings

Bangladesh bowlers bowled in a disciplined way to wrap up Afghanistan's first innings for just 146 but chose not to follow on in the one-off Test at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium today.

Afghanistan still needed 37 runs to avoid the follow-on.

Fast bowler Ebadot Hossain led the charge with 4-47, while left-arm pacer Shoriful Islam, offspinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and left-arm spinner Taijul Islam claimed two wickets apiece.

Bangladesh, which was bowled out for 382, overall took a 236-run lead.

Afghanistan started the second day on a positive note, taking Bangladesh's last five wickets for just nine runs, but their batters' mindless batting dug their graveyard.

Afsar Zazai scored a team-high 36, while Nasir Jamal scored 35. Karim Janat was the other notable scorer with 21._BSS
