Bangladesh's Mushfiqur joins elite club with ton in 100th Test
Bangladesh's Mushfiqur Rahim joined an elite club on Thursday by scoring a century in his 100th Test, achieving the feat against Ireland in Mirpur.
Resuming on 99 overnight, Mushfiqur reached his hundred with a single in the second over of the morning session on day two of the second Test.
The 38-year-old batsman removed his helmet, raised both hands in the air and dropped to the ground in celebration.
His knock placed him among an exclusive group of players to have marked the 100-Test milestone with a hundred.
The others are Colin Cowdrey (104 runs), Javed Miandad (145), Gordon Greenidge (149), Alec Stewart (105), Inzamam-ul-Haq (184), Ricky Ponting (120 & 143 not out), Graeme Smith (131), Hashim Amla (134), Joe Root (218) and David Warner (200).
It was the 13th Test ton for Mushfiqur, who is now level with Mominul Haque for the highest number of centuries in Test cricket for Bangladesh.
He eventually fell to left-arm spinner Matthew Humphreys for 106, edging to second slip where Andy Balbirnie completed a sharp catch.
The Ireland team offered warm applause as Mushfiqur left the field to loud cheers from the home crowd at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.
Mushfiqur faced 214 balls and struck five fours during his milestone innings, which helped ease the early pressure after Bangladesh slipped to 95-3 on the opening day.
Bangladesh won the first Test by an innings and 47 runs.
