Super performer of the day

MOMINUL HAQUE

At the end of the first day of the first Test in Khulna, the visitors Pakistan will probably be the happier of the two sides for having taken four wickets on a placid wicket.

Despite dropping a few catches, Pakistan will be especially happy with the wicket in the 90th over of that of Mominul Haque, who has a knack of scoring big runs in the longer version of the game.

The diminutive batsman didn't play the most attractive or composed knock of his life but he made sure he got a fifty-plus score for the tenth successive Test.

His 80 runs contributed to three important partnerships. Mominul's choice of reviewing the lbw decision might not have been the wisest one, but given his young age it is expected that the southpaw will learn from his mistakes.
