Taijul is leading from front in Shakib's absence. Very good. With experience he will improve further has good test record so far.
 
Taijul becomes the third Bangladeshi to take a five-for in three successive innings, after Enamul Haque Jnr and Shakib Al Hasan.
 
He is in great form with the ball. BD needs a leg spinner badly to fulfil spin attack
 
Another brilliant performance by Taijul!

6/33 in the second innings! Going places this guy for sure.
 
Bangladesh spinner Taijul Islam has been fined 25 per cent of his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the third day of the second Test against Sri Lanka in Dhaka.

Taijul was found to have breached Article 2.9 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to throwing a ball at or near a player in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner during an international match.

In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to Taijul’s disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.

The incident occurred in the 69th over of Sri Lanka’s innings on Wednesday, when Taijul, after fielding the ball on his follow through, threw it in the direction of Angelo Mathews, hitting him, when the batter was within the popping crease and not intending to take a run.

Taijul admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Chris Broad of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for a formal hearing.

On-field umpires Joel Wilson and Sharfuddola, third umpire Richard Kettleborough and fourth official Gazi Sohel levelled the charges.

Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player’s match fee, and one or two demerit points.

Getting the wicket of Virat Kohli is in the checklist of all bowlers, but apparently, it's not that huge a deal for Bangladesh spinner Taijul Islam. The left-arm spinner, who trapped Kohli out LBW for 1 said that while the former India captain is always a big wicket, it is not that will define his career. Taijul was the most successful bowler for Bangladesh on Day 1 of the opening Test against India in Chattogram, as he picked up three wickets, but more than Kohli, it was the scalp of Pujara that he holds dearer to his heart.

"I have picked up the wicket of Virat earlier in my career so doesn't need to be the highlight of my career. I think the line and length was good and perhaps he missed on quite a few occasions but I felt that the ball (which removed Pujara) turned quite sharply. He felt it will be straight but as it turned it hit the stump," Taijul said at the press conference after Stumps on Day 1.

And rightly so. India were in a bit of bother at 112/4 before a century partnership between Shreyas Iyer and Pujara revived the innings. India ended the day at 293/6 having recovered well, a score that later stretched to 348/7 by lunch on Day 2. Bangladesh were left to rue a few unlucky chances they couldn't capitalise on such as Nurul Hasan dropping both Pujara and Iyer on 12 and 30 respectively.

Iyer also received a lifeline when the ball hit the stumps but the bails were not dislodged. With India nearing 350 and potentially eyeing 400, these chances could come back to haunt the hosts. India have gone with three spinner – R Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel, who as the match progresses, could trouble Bangladesh.

"I totally agree and you can say that (we could have bowled them out if we had taken those chances). If they had lost five to six wickets with 10 to 15 overs in our hand then it was possible to bowl them out," said Taijul at the end of the day's play. "Considering everything I don't think we are in a very bad position and in fact in a good position as this is only the first day of the Test match. If we had not made the mistakes we would have been in a better position," added Taijul.

"In a lot of series, the wicket became good after each passing day. But here we are still not being able to predict as there is big turn and perhaps will take some time. If we can build partnership with a focus we can do well in the series."
