Bangladesh A on back foot

The only notable contribution in the Bangladesh A innings came from Faisal Hossain Dickens who made 45 runs.
However, bowling for the second time in two days, the touring bowlers made amends as they kept the hosts in check. Pacers Talha Jubair and Ziaur Rahman bagged two wickets each for the in the second innings so far.
