Mushfiqur celebrates 39th birthday with 29th Test fifty

Experienced Bangladesh batter Mushfiqur Rahim, who turned 39 today, celebrated the occasion by notching his 29th Test fifty on Day 2 of the Tigers' first of two Tests against Pakistan at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur. 

Mushfiqur was seen cutting a cake and celebrating with teammates before the day's play resumed, with the hosts trying to build on their overnight score of 301 for four -- also Bangladesh's highest-ever collection in a day in Tests against Pakistan. 

The wicketkeeper-batter got to his fifty off 114 deliveries, when he worked a rising Shaheen Shah Afridi delivery on the leg-side for a single in the 89th over. 

Bangladesh reached 317 for four in 90 overs, with Litton Das, not out on 22 off 49, and Mushfiqur at the crease.
