Bangladesh significantly strengthened their position in the one-off Test against Afghanistan on Monday. The hosts amassed 114 runs without losing a wicket during the morning session, extending their overall lead to an imposing 443 runs by lunch.
Resuming on 223 for six, Bangladesh reached 337 for six at the interval. Litton Das, unbeaten on five overnight, displayed fluent strokeplay to reach 81 not out, while Mehidy Hasan Miraz provided solid support with 38 not out. Their unbroken 114-run seventh-wicket partnership proved pivotal.
Afghanistan had several chances to break the burgeoning stand but failed to capitalize. Litton Das was reprieved on 16, and further opportunities were missed, allowing Bangladesh to convert a strong position into a commanding one. Earlier contributions from Najmul Hossain Shanto (82) and Mushfiqur Rahim (81) had also been crucial.
