#3 Mehidy Hasan's useful contributions

Bangladesh v England - Second Test: Day Three
The young off spinner chipped in with crucial wickets

The young offie is emerging as Mushfiqur's trump card. After decimating England last year, Mehidy Hasan seems to be poised to do the same to the Aussies. He accounted for three wickets in the first innings that included the prized scalp of Steve Smith.

Mehidy was entrusted with the duty of opening the bowling in both the innings and he didn't disappoint as he got struck with early blows. He troubled the Aussie batsmen with his off breaks and ended up with match figures of 5/144.

Apart from his bowling heroics, Mehidy also made useful contributions with the bat lower down the order. In fact, his 26 in the second innings pushed Bangladesh's lead above 250. Mehidy will be brimming with confidence for the future games and certainly seems as a bright prospect in store for the Bangladeshis.
