Afghanistan coach Jonathan Trott is looking forward to turn things around as the coach plans to grab five wickets and score 500+ runs on the second day of the ongoing one-off Test match.
Najmul Hasan Shanto scored a remarkable century to put Bangladesh at a strong position as the left-handed batter smashed 146 runs to help Bangladesh reach 362-5 at stumps.
“We need to do better tomorrow. It was a good lesson for the guys," Trott told at post-day press conference.

"Get five wickets for 10 runs, and then get 500. It would be nice (to get them bowled out before Lunch). We have the new ball again in one over. Then hopefully Nijat and the seamers can bowl well tomorrow. The guys learned about the extreme heat today," Trott said.
The coach lamented the bowling effort from his side, which allowed Bangladesh to be at the drivers' seat at the end of the first day.
“I don't think we bowled as well as we should have. I think there's a bit in the wicket. We saw that when we got the ball in the right areas consistently for long enough, we created chances. All the things we need to do well in Test cricket, to do things relentlessly and to be accurate and precise,” he added.
