Six-wicket Hasan gives Bangladesh edge in first Test
CHITTAGONG, Bangladesh, Oct 18, 2008 (AFP) - Left-arm spinner Shakib
Al Hasan took a maiden five-wicket haul to help Bangladesh gain an upper
hand over New Zealand on the second day of the opening Test here on
Saturday.
The 21-year-old turned his left arm with magical effect to take 6-31,
leaving the tourists reeling at 155-9 after Daniel Vettori took five
wickets to shoot Bangladesh out for 245 in the first innings.
Vettori the batsman then held fort for the visitors as he went
unbeaten on a pugnacious 48 with number ten Jeetan Patel falling in the
last over of the day for nought, leaving the tourists 90 runs behind.
Hasan, better known for his left-handed batting, had Jamie How (16)
and debutant Jesse Ryder (one) out in successive overs, before trapping
Aaron Redmond (19) to wrestle back the initiative for the home team.
Hasan, who had just three wickets to show in his previous six Tests,
then got the prized wickets of Brendon McCullum (25) and Jacob Oram (nought)
to leave New Zealand in tatters at 100-7 before Vettori and Kyle Mills
put up some fight.
In between left-arm spin partner Abdur Razzak trapped Ross Taylor for
12.
Daniel Flynn (19) and McCullum did try to take the attack to the
bowlers, with Flynn hoisting two boundaries and a six before he edged to
wicket-keeper Mushfiqur Rahim to give debutant Naeem Islam a wicket in
his first over.
Vettori and Mills (four) added 26 for the eighth wicket before Hasan
struck again, forcing an edge off Mills to the keeper. Hasan's previous
best of 2-44 was against the same opponents at Wellington in January
this year. In the morning Vettori took three of the six wickets to fall
in the space of just 57 runs to finish with 5-59, his 16th five-wicket
haul on a slow Divisional Stadium pitch.
