Bangladesh 2/42 after 11 overs

Hannan Sarkar dismissed with the first ball of the test. Is this the first time an opener has been dismissed by the first ball bowled in the test in consecutive tests?

Not only was Hannan Sarkar the first batsman to be dismissed by the first ball of consecutive tests but he was also dismissed in exactly the same manner - LBW b Collins. He was also dismissed first ball to Collins (bowled) in the first test of the 2002/03 series in Bangladesh.

Sunil Gavaskar is the only other batsman to have been dismissed by the first ball of a test more than once. It happened to him 3 times.

The other noteworthy stat to have come from the day's play was that Habibul Bashar became the first Bangladesh batsman to reach 2000 career runs in test cricket. No others have even reached 1000 although Javed Omar is getting close.

This is what we call an improvement. Much better than the first test. Chanderpaul's century will now keep him in the side. He was skating on thin ice. Perhaps that will strike him back into test match form.

Sarwan, it's a pity he didn't make 300. I'm surprised Lara didn't declare when Sarwan made his 300. There's still 2 days to go in this test match. Would have taken Sarwan about 10 or so overs to do it.

We have this won. Perhaps Lara should come out more often and say he will stand down as captain if we don't win.
