Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 2017: 2nd Test, 5 talking points

#4 Mosaddek Hossain the find for the visitors

Mossadek Hossain played extremely well on his debut

When Bangladesh decided to drop Mahmudullah for their historic 100th Test it created a huge furore. But the replacement, someone who had already represented them in limited overs cricket, Mossadek Hossain, put up his hand and played a defining knock.

Walking in at no.8, Hossain combined in a vital stand of 131 with Shakib-al-Hasan that propelled Bangladesh to a first innings lead. The debutant was everything and more Bangladesh could expect from a no.8 as he made a brilliant half-century.

He was the last man dismissed as Bangladesh raced to a 129 run lead with Hossain making 75 from 155 balls including some powerful hits off Herath over his head. What a way to make his debut.
