Afghanistan was shot out for 342 in their first innings in their innings of the one-off Test against Bangladesh, giving away all of the 10 wickets to the hosts’ spinners on Friday at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.

Resuming the day on 271-5, Afghanistan indeed added just 71 runs to their overnight total before being dismissed 30 hours before the lunch session of day two. Most of the runs came from the willow of captain Rashid Khan who hit his maiden half-century.

Rashid struck 51 off just 61 with two fours and three sixes before being out as the last batsman.

Bangladesh however made a good start to the day thanks to Taijul Islam who removed the overnight unbeaten batsman duo Asghar Afghan and Afsar Zazai in first 10 overs of the day.

Afghan added four runs to his overnight total to be out on 92 while Zazai was removed for 41, starting the day on 35.
