Such was the force of the downpour that both teams decided to stay indoors at their hotels on the second morning.
Dale Steyn took his 400th wicket in the second Test versus Bangladesh in Mirpur on Thursday.
“I would’ve been happy if I had taken just one wicket in my worldwide career”, Steyn told reporters after picking up three for 30 as Bangladesh ended the day on 246 for eight. His first wicket came when he bowled Marcus Trescothick. “I don’t really know what to say”. The last bowler before Steyn to complete 400 Test wickets was James Anderson, who got to this landmark against New Zealand in May this year. Steyn later broke his partnership with Rahim as the right-hander flicked a catch to Temba Bavuma at short midwicket for 35.
