Tigers' strong first impression

SPORTS REPORTER
Two uncapped youngsters made strong statements and staked claim to be included in the first Test team as Bangladesh enjoyed yet another fruitful day in their tour opener against the British Universities at Fenner's in Cambridge yesterday.
On the last day of the three-dayer
that ended in a draw, 18-year-old rookie fast bowler Shahadat Hossain Rajib completed a four wicket haul as the Universities were all out for 238 in their first innings after resuming on 190 for five.
When Bangladesh batted again, openers Javed Omar (39) and Nafis Iqbal again provided the Tigers with a solid foundation putting on 66 before Iqbal was out for 46 (83 balls, 9x4). But most pleasing for the tourists would be the performance of 19-year-old new-comer Shahriar Nafees Ahmed who arrived at number three and hit a fluent 50 (68balls, 4x4). The left-hander had made a five-ball duck in the first innings. He was run out immediately after reaching the half-century but not before sharing 80 with a rampant skipper Habibul Bashar.
Bangladesh opted for batting practice before declaring on 246 for four about half-an-hour ahead of the scheduled close and the two captains shook hands immediately. Bashar got over his first innings disappointment, when he made just eight, and stroked to a typically belligerent 75 from just 86 balls faced (10x4). Rajin Saleh, who had added 56 with his captain, was batting on 30 (47 balls, 5x4) while Mohammad Ashraful had just come in when the game ended.
Earlier, Shahadat picked up three wickets in the morning as the students lost their last five batsmen for 22. Pace ace Mashrafee bin Mortuza had made the first breakthrough ending a stand of 134 between Luke Parker (65) and Josh Knappett (73). The collapse gave Bangladesh a first innings lead of 143.
The home side had only added 26 when Parker tried to drive Mortuza and edged a simple catch to keeper Khaled Mashud. Shahadat then took over, tempting Knappett into hooking his second delivery, which resulted in a top edge to Omar at fine leg.
He then knocked out Amit Suman's middle stump and Monty Panesar also went for nought when a leg-cutter had him caught behind.
The final wicket went to left-arm spinner Mohammad Rafique, who tempted last man Glen Read into a sweep shot and trapped him lbw.
Bangladesh's next game is another three-day warm-up against Sussex at Hove starting May 15.
