Mominul Haque has scored a splendid hundred in the India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. While there was no play on the second and third days of the Kanpur Test because of rain and a wet outfield, when play resumed on Day 4, it was Haque's ton that headlined Bangladesh's batting effort in the first session of Day 4.
