Mahmudullah scored a Test career-best 150 not out Thursday as Bangladesh made 468 in the first innings of a one-off Test against Zimbabwe at Harare Sports Club.
Batting at No 8, the 35-year old all-rounder added 96 runs to his overnight 54 as the tourists took control after losing two early wickets Wednesday with just eight runs on the scoreboard.
Mahmudullah bettered his 146 for the Tigers against New Zealand two years ago by pulling a good length ball from Blessing Muzarabani to deep midwicket for four in the 126th over.
He added one more run with a stroke to deep square leg before the innings closed when 10th-wicket partner Ebadat Hossain was trapped leg before by Muzarabani for a duck.
Mahmudullah reached his century off the third ball of the 100th over as he cut to deep point for four a ball bowled short of a length by Roy Kaia.
