\"Kayes\"<\/a>Half-centuries from Imrul Kayes and Mominul Haque put Bangladesh on top after a slow first day of their two-Test series against Pakistan. <\/p>\n

Patient batting throughout the day saw the hosts to 236 for four in Khulna, with Kayes making 51 before Mominul took charge with 80 until his late dismissal. <\/p>\n

Mahmudullah added 49 and though four different bowlers took a wicket apiece, dropped catches plagued Pakistan. <\/p>\n

Kayes survived a leg-before review off the third ball of the match and Zulfiqar Babar failed to pick the ball up with a chance to run out Tamim Iqbal in the eighth over. <\/p>\n

It took almost nine overs for the score to reach double figures, when Kayes pulled Junaid Khan for the first boundary. <\/p>\n

Yasir Shah misjudged a boundary chance to allow Kayes to move from 12 to 16 and Tamim was dropped on 16, Mohammad Hafeez putting down a tough one-handed catch at short leg. <\/p>\n

Tamim fell three overs before lunch for 25, caught off bat and pad by Azhar Ali as spinner Yasir survived a no-ball review, and Kayes was dropped at short leg as the interval arrived with the score 60 for one. <\/p>\n

Mominul Haque was hit on the helmet by Junaid but hit his next ball for four, and Kayes reached a 129-ball half-century but went no further as he chipped the next ball straight back to bowler Hafeez – the off-spinner’s first Test wicket since having to remodel his action following a ban from bowling. <\/p>\n

Babar dropped Mominul off his own bowling when the batsman was on 17 and Mahmudullah edged Wahab Riaz between the two slips. <\/p>\n

Mominul did well to avoid an accidental beamer from Wahab and was on 35 to Mahmudullah’s 31 at tea, with Bangladesh 150 for two. <\/p>\n

Mominul’s fifty arrived from 108 balls with a single off Babar but Mahmudullah failed to follow, falling one short when wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed showed his team-mates the way with a diving right-handed catch off Wahab. <\/p>\n

An appeal next ball against Mominul was rejected, a decision supported by DRS, and he and Shakib Al Hasan took their side past 200. <\/p>\n

Mominul took successive boundaries off Hafeez but was pinned lbw by Babar from the penultimate scheduled delivery of the day.
