Mominul 1st Bangladeshi to score hundred in both innings

Mominul Haque became the first Bangladesh batsman to score a hundred in both innings of a Test match.

He achieved the rare landmark in the second innings of the first Test against Sri Lanka in Chittagong before being dismissed for 105.

Earlier in the match, Haque racked up a 96-ball hundred - the second fastest for Bangladesh - before amassing 176 off 214 balls, helping the host to a gargantuan first innings score of 513 all out.

The 26-year-old middle-order batsman has 2121 runs from 26 Tests at 48.20, including six hundreds and 12 half-centuries.
