In the first test of two match-test series against South Africa, Bangladesh is trying their best to set a moderate target for the opponent.
After the early wickets fall in the second day, Bangladesh seemingly turned back as Mehedi Hasan Miraz’s bat smiling for a while.
The players returned for a brief period, less than 20 minutes, before light was offered to the batters and they decided to walk off.
Bangladesh had reached 283 for seven with Mehedi Hasan Miraz on 83, 17 short of what would be his second century in Test cricket, and Nayeem Hasan on 16.
The Tigers had added 16 runs without a wicket in the brief period after tea. Given the forecasts and the current weather, it doesn't look like the light will improve reasonably on Wednesday.
Rain stopped play in Mirpur after Bangladesh took 65-run lead in their second innings, reaching 267 for seven an hour after Lunch on Day 3.
Previously, Jaker secured his maiden fifty in his debut match which also helped the team stay in the competition.
