Magical Mominul

Sports Reporter from Chittagong
Those who decided to spend ^Sket Friday doing something other than watching the third day of the first Test at the Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, missed out on what was perhaps one of the finest batting innings played by a Bangladeshi cricketer.
It was a day which, if one were to describe subtly, Mominul Haque ruled. His maiden ton, 181, powered the hosts to 380 for 7 at stumps. The fact that New Zealand are still ahead by 89 runs and hold a slight edge in the game was somewhat relegated to the shadow of Mominul's brilliance.
The most impressive aspect of Mominul's game was the patient manner in which he continued after reaching his century; by no means did his body language reflect the fact that this was just his first hundred.
Having raced his way to 77 off 71 balls on Thursday, the left-hander effortlessly continued with his innings in the morning, almost as though he had never left the field. He began by punching Doug Bracewell for two boundaries in the 31st over. The first one was what can now be described as a Mominul special - back past the bowler, straight down the ground. The second one was driven through long-off. His intentions of flicking the odd delivery towards the leg side however almost got him to trouble when he edged one high in the air in the same over; the ball however landed in no-man's-land.
But that was as shaky as he would get. He brought up his century three overs later, with a beautiful square drive through cover point. His celebration - a mere show of the bat to the dressing room and a hug from Marshall Ayub at the other end -reflected his calmness of mind. He knew he had a long way to go.
The 126-run stand for the third wicket came to an end after Marshall's nerves got the better of him in the 39th over. He chased a wide deliver from Corey Anderson and got a bottom edge to the keeper, giving the latter his first international wicket.
Shakib Al Hasan came in at number five and the pair shared a 46-run stand before Shakib gave in to Kane Williamson in the first over after lunch, top-edging a delivery to the keeper in an attempt to cut through point.
Captain Mushfiqur Rahim joined Mominul for the sixth wicket and the pair went about with a cautious approach. Mominul curbed his shots and was concentrating more on the singles. In the 66th over, he tucked one to the leg side to become only the fourth Bangladeshi cricketer to reach 150.
The batsmen decided to up the rate right before tea. Mushfiqur was especially harsh against Williamson, who he smacked for two sixes in the 78th over - over deep mid wicket and longon.
The momentum shifted after tea with the Kiwis employing the new ball. Mominul's tendency to overbalance while flicking to leg eventually led to his wicket. He missed a straight ball to be trapped in front off Anderson in the 93rd over. Mushfiqur followed for 67, edging one to the slips off Bracewell in the next over.
The seventh-wicket pair of Shohag Gazi and Nasir Hossain shared a brisk 70-run stand, in 18.2 overs, which took Bangladesh from 301 to 371 for 7. Nasir was at his fluent best as he smacked seven boundaries and a six in his 65-ball 46. He however became Ish Sodhi's first Test victim when he skied a short ball to short-midwicket.
At stumps, Gazi remained unbeaten on 28 with Abdur Razzak for company.
