Rajshahi ahead

Sports Reporter
Rajshahi have to see mW WA1TON trough the fourth and final day of their last second phase game against Sylhet to reach the final of the National Cricket League. Their 210-run lead with six wickets still in hand gives the eastern divisional headquarters a sniff, but after yesterday's play Rajshahi have already overtaken Sylhet in the points table.
Sylhet were bowled out for 277 in the first innings at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, enabling Rajshahi to gain eight bonus points, taking them to 101.98 while their opponents have to win the game today to make it to the final as they got only 5.02 bonus points.
Away at the Fatullah Cricket Stadium where the players and match officials arrived at 5.30am, a good 3 and half hours before the start of play, Khulna were in full control after bowling out Dhaka Metropolis for 288 runs and then hurtling to 166-2 at stumps, a lead of496 runs.
Khulna's national opener Imrul Kayes struck his first century of the 2011-12 season.
RAJSHAHI-SYLHET
The onus will be on Sylhet to take the remaining six Rajshahi wickets to give themselves an outside chance of clinching a place in the NCL final. But they are already 210 runs in deficit and must make their moves as quickly as possible. Otherwise it will be a
Rajshahi-Khulna final.
During the third day's play, Sylhet added 125 runs but lost seven first innings wickets to concede a lead of 110 runs. Nadif Chowdhury was dismissed by Forhad Reza for 61 runs off 165 balls with the help of six boundaries and a six. Towards the end, Enamul Haque Jr thumped 30 off 44 balls.
Sanjamul Islam took four wickets while medium-pacer Forhad took three.
Rajshahi however lost four quick wickets, Abul Hasan taking two, but Sabbir Rahman and Hamidul Islam held on for 21 overs before stumps were drawn.
KHULNA-DHAKA METRO
Khulna have already booked a place in the final after amassing 600-plus runs in the first innings, on top of starting the game on 102.84 points. On the third day, they first bowled out Dhaka Metro for only 288 runs and without enforcing the follow-on, chose for some batting practice.
The body language of the Dhaka Metro players gave away what was at stake for them, going through the motions as Imrul Kayes cashed in with a century. The left-hander was unbeaten on 101 off 144 balls with the help of thirteen boundaries and a six.
Imrul added 155 runs with Soumya Sarkar in the opening stand before the latter fell for 57off82balls hitting five boundaries and a six.
Earlier, Tasamul Haque struck his second first-class century of the season (and career). He was caught by Taposh Ghosh off Abdur Razzak the ball after he reached the ton, ending a 167-ball innings that had sixteen boundaries.
Mehrab Hossain Jr made 52 off 95 balls with eight fours, but it hardly had an impact; Khulna taking a gigantic 330-run first innings lead.
Dollar Mahmud was the pick of the Khulna bowlers, taking four for 34 while leftarm spinner Abdur Razzak took three for 119.
