MUSHFIQUR Rahim yesterday became the first Bangladeshi to crack a double century while Nasir Hossain hit a maiden ton as the tourists gained a 68-run lead in the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle.

Skipper Rahim hit a solid 200 and Hossain an impressive 100 as Bangladesh was bowled out for 638, its highest total in 76 Tests, in reply to Sri Lanka's first-innings total of 570-4 declared. The hosts reached 116-1 in their second innings at stumps on the penultimate day of a test heading for a draw. Opener Tillakaratne Dilshan was unbeaten on 63 and Kumar Sangakkara 49 not out.
