After leading Bangladesh’s fightback with the bat in the first innings of the ongoing second Test against Australia in Chittagong, captain Mushfiqur Rahim made further inroads into the game to give his team the best-possible start with the ball as the Asian country is standing on the cusp of creating history. Bangladesh registered its first Test win over Australia in 5 attempts in the first Test at Dhaka and are now in a strong position in the ongoing match.

The hosts were reeling at 85 for 4 when Rahim arrived at the crease on an opening day and was soon reduced to 117 for five, but the captain led his team from the front and scored a brilliant 68 as the home side finished their innings on 305. Rahim was ably supported by Sabbir Rahman (66) and Nassir Hossain (45).

Rahim then put his team firmly in the driver’s seat by taking a sensational grab to send back the dangerous Matt Renshaw cheaply. Left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman had bowled a full delivery which was slanting down the leg side. To play it fine, Renshaw shuffled across but played it too fine as the ball after taking the edge went behind the stumps where Rahim dived full length to his right before pouching the catch with one hand, much to the delight of his teammates who soon rushed to mob him.

Here is that stunning catch:

Meanwhile, Australia were 15 for one at lunch, still trailing Bangladesh’s first innings total by 290 runs. Opener David Warner, who had scored a sublime century in the first Test, was playing on two while captain Steve Smith was unbeaten on 8.
