The batting woes continue for Bangladesh, more than skill it is the lack of a proper shot selection that puts them in precarious positions such as the one they are in at the moment. Khaled Ahmed, Shoriful Islam and Mehidy Hasan all starred with the ball on Day 3 and it was Ahmed whose hard work paid off as he picked up a maiden five-wicket haul in Test cricket. Trailing by 174 runs when they came out to bat, Bangladesh yet again lost wickets early in the innings and even though Najmul Hossain Shanto did manage to do a bit of repair work alongside skipper Shakib Al Hasan, Shanto too gave into temptation. With just one recognized batting pair left at the crease, the visitors need to do well to not lose by an innings. They certainly need a miracle here.
