Under-19s call the shots
Sports Reporter
Having lost the first two Tests and the series, Bangladesh U-19 cricketers hit back in the third and final Test against England when the junior Tigers shot out the home side for 185 in the first innings on the opening day at Glamorgan yesterday.The tourists wiped out 58 of those runs at tea losing the wickets of Shahriar Nafees and Aftab Ahmed. Opener Nafees Iqbal was batting on 39 and Shamsur Rahman on 4. England elected to bat first and lost Joe Denly for a duck when the opener was run out with just one run on board. England never recovered from that early damage as paceman Rubaiyat Haque picked two wickets to reduce England to 23-3. Captain Alistair Cook tried to steady the innings with a 66-ball 36, but gave in to the Bangladesh spin duo -- Ashim Chowdhury and Nadif Chowdhury -- who got on top to wrap up the England essay inside 50 overs. Ashim went on to take 3-30 from 10.1 overs while Nadif and Rubaiyat also chipped in with a couple of wickets each. Fiery paceman Shahadat Hossain, who joined the party late, was expensive and conceded 70 runs for his two wickets.
