| 1.3 : 1.3: Hasan Ali to Saif Hassan, FOUR! Bangladesh and Saif Hassan start with a boundary. Hasan Ali serves this on the pad, on a length, Saif Hassan just has to clip this gently and the ball speeds away to the fine leg boundary. |
| 1.5 : 1.5: Hasan Ali to Saif Hassan, FOUR! Another boundary. Saif Hassan has begun well here with two boundaries. Too straight this time, on middle and leg, gently nudged to the fine leg fence. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Hasan Ali to Shadman Islam, FOUR! That looked so good. Islam's confidence will be given a boost due to this. Outside off, on a length, Shadman Islam presses forward and eases this through mid off. A player gives it chase but the ball wins the race. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Shaheen Afridi to Saif Hassan, FOUR! Confident stroke from Hassan. This is pitched up by Afridi, around off, Saif Hassan plays this gently through covers and bags a boundary. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: Shaheen Afridi to Najmul Hossain Shanto, FOUR! That is quite a way to open your account. Shaheen Afridi errs this time and bowls it on the pads, Najmul Hossain Shanto whips this one wonderfully through square leg and fetches a boundary. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: Shaheen Afridi to Saif Hassan, OUT! CAUGHT! That was a snorter of the delivery and Pakistan get their first wicket early on. Shaheen Afridi has been troubling the openers so far and his hard work has paid off. He sticks with the back-of-a-length delivery again, it is bowled around off and the ball shoots up after hitting the deck. Saif Hassan gets his blade high up, looking to defend it, but the ball catches the shoulder of the bat and loops up near short leg. Abid Ali has the easiest of |
| 5.2 : 5.2: Hasan Ali to Shadman Islam, FOUR! The boundaries are coming by nicely for the hosts. A touch shorter this time, around off, Shadman Islam stands tall and powers this one through mid-wicket. Boundary. |
| 6.2: Shaheen Afridi to Shadman Islam, EDGY FOUR! Bangladesh just keep scoring the boundaries here. Outside off, on a good length, Shadman Islam wants to defend but gets squared up. The outside edge is induced and the ball sneaks through between gully and the slip cordon to the ropes. |
| 7.6 : 7.6: Hasan Ali to Shadman Islam, OUT! LBW! Good-length ball, around off and middle, coming back in sharply. Shadman Islam looks to work it on the leg side but misses. He gets rapped on the pads. Hasan Ali appeals for LBW and the umpire straightaway raises his dreaded finger. Shadman Islam consults his partner and ultimately takes the review. UltraEdge shows that there was no bat involved. Ball Tracking shows all three reds and Shadman Islam has to walk back to the pavilion and the hosts lose a |
| 14.1 : 14.1: Faheem Ashraf to Najmul Hossain Shanto, FOUR! Super shot. On a fuller length, just around the off pole, Najmul Hossain Shanto presents the full face of the blade and creams this through mid off for a boundary. |
| 15.1: Sajid Khan to Mominul Haque, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The review works out for Pakistan and the third one falls down for the hosts. Also the big wicket of the skipper, Mominul Haque. Khan floats this one up, lands it fuller around off, Haque presses forward and looks to defend but the ball spins away very nicely and whistles past the outside edge of Haque to Rizwan, who collects this, and the Pakistan contingent are up in celebration. Wait a minute, the umpire is unmoved right now. He does not |
| 16.2 : 16.2: Faheem Ashraf to Najmul Hossain Shanto, OUT! CAUGHT! Seems like 14 is the cursed number for the Bangladeshi batters as this is the third batter who loses his wicket on the score of 14. Pakistan are well on top in this session and they have already snared 4 wickets so far. Faheem Ashraf hurls across a slightly shortish delivery, outside off, Najmul Hossain Shanto stands tall and slaps this one towards the point fielder. Sajid Khan dives ahead and takes this one. The Pakistanis are celeb |
| 17.6 : 17.6: Sajid Khan to Liton Das, FOUR! The timing on this shot was sublime. Very full this time, around off, Liton Das gets underneath this and thumps this one through covers for a boundary. |
| 28.5 : 28.5: Hasan Ali to Liton Das, FOUR! That's a lovely shot! Fuller in length, outside off. Liton Das sees the width and leans onto it. He drives it elegantly through covers. Two fielders give it a chase but the ball wins the race. |
| 31.4 : 31.4: Nauman Ali to Liton Das, FOUR! Nicely played! Nauman Ali pulls his length back, outside off. Liton Das rocks back and cuts it very late to deep backward point for a boundary. The placement was excellent. |
| 32.3 : 32.3: Faheem Ashraf to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR! Lovely shot! Width on offer, outside off. Mushfiqur Rahim rides on the bounce and slaps it through cover-point to fetch himself a boundary. His first boundary after facing 52 balls. This shows the kind of temperament he persists. |
| 32.5 : 32.5: Faheem Ashraf to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR! Streaky this time! Length ball, outside off. Mushfiqur Rahim presses forward and looks to push it to the off side. The ball goes off the outer half of the bat through gully for a boundary. |
| 35.1 : 35.1: Nauman Ali to Liton Das, FOUR! Flatter this time from Nauman Ali, he bowls it outside off, Liton Das shuffles and cuts this one late through backward point. Fawad Alam chases after this but is no match as the ball finds the ropes. |
| 38.4 : 38.4: Shaheen Afridi to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR! The change of angle does not work and the 50-run stand has been brought up between these two. Shaheen comes around the wicket and bowls a loosener. Short and wide outside off, Mushfiqur Rahim waits, and then dabs it behind point. Boundary. |
| 40.5 : 40.5: Shaheen Afridi to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR! The boundaries are flowing along nicely now. On a length, around off, Mushfiqur Rahim leans into the drive and just smothers this through mid off. No point chasing after this. |
| 42.6 : 42.6: Shaheen Afridi to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR! Shot of the session so far. Rahim is playing a sublime knock here. Around off, on a drivable length, Mushfiqur Rahim shows the full face of the blade and gently pushes this one through mid on. Just a push but the timing on this means it will run away to the ropes. |
| 43.6: Sajid Khan to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR! Lovely shot! Mushfiqur Rahim uses his feet and takes the ball on full. He smashes it towards long on for a boundary. |
| 45.3 : 45.3: Sajid Khan to Liton Das, SIX! BANG! The crowd erupts! Loopy ball, on middle. Liton Das advances down the track, makes perfect contact and sends the ball sailing over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. He moves onto 40 now. |
| 46.1 : 46.1: Nauman Ali to Liton Das, FOUR! Liton Das is on a roll! He is really looking in fine touch. Loopy ball, around off. Liton Das rocks back and cuts it through point for a boundary. The confidence is oozing out of his bat. |

| 52.5 : 52.5: Hasan Ali to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR! Fifty for Mushfiqur Rahim! Wow, what a knock it has been from Mushfiqur Rahim. Bangladesh were having a tough time but he has steadied things wonderfully for them. Ali does not learn again, serves it short and wide, slapped behind point by Rahim for back-to-back boundaries. |
| 61.5: Sajid Khan to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR! Nicely played! Flighted ball, outside off. Mushfiqur Rahim waits for the ball to come, leans onto it and steers it through covers for a boundary. |

| 68.4 : 68.4: Faheem Ashraf to Liton Das, FOUR! Well played! Short ball again, outside off, the ball does not bounce too much and Liton Das slaps this one over mid-wicket. A couple of bounces and it goes past the ropes. |
| 72.2 : 72.2: Sajid Khan to Liton Das, FOUR! Sajid serves this short and on middle and going down leg with the angle, Liton Das backs away and pumps this one through square leg. Not a good delivery from Khan and he gets punished. |
| 80.6 : 80.6: Shaheen Afridi to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR! MORE RUNS! Length ball, on leg. Mushfiqur Rahim tickles it down to fine leg for a boundary. |
| 84.5 : 84.5: Shaheen Afridi to Liton Das, FOUR! This is brilliant from Das! Overpitched delivery from 'round the wicket, outside off. Liton Das drives that one through covers for a boundary. He looks completely drained after playing that shot. |
| 86.6 : 86.6: Hasan Ali to Liton Das, OUT! LBW! Good-length ball, on middle, shaping in sharply. Das looks to defend but misses. He gets rapped on the back pad. Hasan Ali appeals for an LBW but the umpire shakes his head. Hasan Ali convinces Babar Azam to go for a review. UltraEdge shows there is no bat involved. Ball Tracking shows three reds.

| 91.3 : 91.3: Shaheen Afridi to Yasir Ali, FOUR! That is quite a way to get your Test career underway. Pitched up, wider outside off, Yasir Ali presses forward and punches this with authority through cover-point. No stopping that. |
| 92.3: Hasan Ali to Yasir Ali, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Â Hasan Ali is making the ball talk. Good-length ball, on off, coming back in. Right through the defence as Yasir Ali presses forward to drive but misses. The ball goes through the gap between bat and pad and crashes the stumps behind him. Always a beautiful sight for the bowler. Hasan Ali has been very productive so far and celebrates it with his trademark celebration. He bags his third wicket and sends Yasir Ali back walking. Not a fruitful de |
| 93.2 : 93.2: Shaheen Afridi to Mushfiqur Rahim, EDGY FOUR! Shaheen Afridi comes 'round the wicket and angles a length ball, around off, Mushfiqur Rahim looks to tuck this away to the leg side but the outside edge is induced and the ball runs away through point for a boundary. |
| 98.5 : 98.5: Faheem Ashraf to Mushfiqur Rahim, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Mushfiqur Rahim has to go back for 91 and the review does not save him. Ashraf serves this on a length, in the fourth stump channel, Rahim looks to defend this close to his body, but it seems like he has nicked this, as the ball goes to Rizwan, who collects and appeals and the finger goes up. Rahim goes for the review straightaway, but there was a loud sound as the ball passed the bat, so it is surprising that he has taken this. UltraE |

| 114.4 : 114.4: Hasan Ali to Ebadot Hossain, OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Hasan Ali grabs two-in-two and ends with a 5-fer! He has bowled supremely well today and he will be very happy to end Bangladesh's innings.
