Australia managed to take a 72-run
first innings lead riding on vice
captain David Warner’s 20th century,
after day three of their second
and final Test match against Bangladesh
at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury
Stadium yesterday.
In what was a rain-interrupted
day, Australia posted 377 for the
loss of nine wickets at stumps with
lower-order batsmen Steve O’Keefe
and Nathan Lyon unbeaten on
eight and nought respectively.
The day three’s play started after
lunch, at 1:15pm local time, as
constant rain halted play in the
morning session.
Bangladesh made the breakthrough
in the 10th over of the
day as middle-order batsman Peter
Handscomb was run out by a
brilliant throw from midwicket by
all-rounder Shakib al Hasan.
Warner was on 99 and tried to
take a cheeky single but eventually
called off the run.
But a sharp throw from Shakib
hit the timber in the non-striker’s
end and Handscomb returned to
the dressing room scoring 82.
Warner later bagged his second
century of the series.
The fourth-wicket partnership
between Warner and all-rounder
Glenn Maxwell stretched to 48 before
left-arm seamer Mustafizur
Rahman took the important wicket
of the former in the 89th over.
Warner tried to pull a bouncer
from Mustafizur but got caught by
leg gully fielder Imrul Kayes.
Australia’s middle- and lower-order
batsmen then built up small
partnerships to extend the lead and
eventually ended the day on 377/9.
Both Maxwell (38) and
all-rounder Hilton Cartwright (18)
crafted good starts but failed to
convert their innings into big ones.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Matthew
Wade continued to struggle
with the bat as he missed a straight
delivery from Mustafizur and got
trapped in front for only eight.
Mustafizur was impressive on day
three as he picked up two wickets.
Youngster Mehedi Hasan Miraz
also took two for the Tigers on
day three while Shakib and leftarm
spinner Taijul Islam took one
apiece.
Shakib’s dismissal of lower-order
batsman Ashton Agar hinted
MD MANIK
that the pitch might turn on day
four and five as the ball turned
quite sharply and surprised
everyone before the last over of
the day.
Bangladesh dropped quite a few
catches, particularly Miraz grassing
Maxwell when he was on 10, while
the struggling Soumya Sarker
dropped Agar in the late hour.
As Australia are already leading by
72, Bangladesh’s target will be to take
the final wicket as early as possible
and bat well in their second innings.
But rain may interrupt more in
the remaining days, as forecasts
predict more rainfall. •
Leaked document reveals UK Brexit plan to deter EU immigrants
• AFP, London
WORLD
Britain will end the free movement
of labour immediately after Brexit
and introduce restrictions to deter
all but highly-skilled EU workers
under detailed proposals set out
in a Home Office document leaked
to the Guardian.
The 82-page paper, marked
as extremely sensitive and dated
August 2017, sets out for the
first time how Britain intends to
approach the politically charged
issue of immigration, dramatically
refocusing policy to put British
workers first.
“Put plainly, this means that,
to be considered valuable to the
country as a whole, immigration
should benefit not just the
migrants themselves but also
make existing residents better
off,” the document says.
The government envisages
a dual system for EU citizens
arriving after Brexit, with those
wishing to stay long-term needing
to apply for a two-year residence
permit.
Those deemed “highly-skilled”,
however, would be allowed to
apply for a permit for up to five
years under the proposals.
In the lengthy document,
marked “sensitive”, Britain’s
interior ministry also says it
may “tighten up” the definition
of family members allowed to
accompany EU workers in Britain.
Partners, children under 18 and
adult dependant relatives are the
suggested limit.
Changes would also be seen
at Britain’s borders, with the
document detailing government
plans to require all EU citizens to
travel on a passport rather than a
national identity card as currently
allowed.
This latter measure could be
imposed as soon as Britain leaves
the bloc – set for March 29, 2019
– but the Home Office promises
“adequate notice” will be given.
A period of at least two years
following Brexit is foreseen to
fully implement the plans.
An ‘extreme’ hard Brexit
The proposals immediately
attracted criticism and were
dubbed “back-of-an-envelope
plans” by Britain’s trade union
umbrella group, the TUC.
“These plans would create
an underground economy,
encouraging bad bosses to
exploit migrants and undercut
decent employers offering good
jobs,” said TUC general secretary
Frances O’Grady.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan,
from the opposition Labour party,
said the document paved the
way for “an extreme form of hard
Brexit” which risked splitting up
families.
“It reads like a blueprint on how
to strangle London’s economy,
which would be devastating not
just for our city but for the whole
country,” he said.
A spokesman for the Home
Office said the government would
not comment on the leaked draft.
“We will be setting out our
initial proposals for a new
immigration system which
takes back control of the UK’s
borders later in the autumn,” the
spokesman said.
The issue of citizens’ rights has
been labelled a top priority by the
EU during Brexit negotiations,
which are being held in stages and
hosted by Brussels.
In June the British government
outlined plans for EU citizens in
the country before Brexit, which
would see them apply for “settled
status” granting indefinite leave to
remain. •
