Mominul Haque strokes an authoritative 181 that helped Bangladesh

Mominul Haque wiped away any doubts about his place in the Test line-up with an authoritative 181 that helped Bangladesh make significant progress towards New Zealand's first innings score of 469. His innings is the third highest score by a Bangladeshi batsman, and it was an innings that was his first serious expression of a calculative approach.

                               

Promising youngster. Bangladesh test lineup is looking much better than before. I'm not just talking in terms of sheer results here, but rather batsmen in their lineup now. It used to be hit or miss Ashraful before with possibly Habibul Bashar chiming in. Now they've got Tamim, Mushfiq, Shakib and promising youngsters like Mominul, Anamul and Nasir Hossain.
