00:30Hello and welcome from the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium
00:34as we bring you action from the Bank Kalfala Presents
00:37Blue World City Test Series Pakistan vs Bangladesh.
00:41Rawalpindi saw plenty of rain leading up to this test match
00:45and the ground staff, well they worked tirelessly
00:47to finally get the action running.
00:50At the toss, it was the Bangladesh skipper
00:52Najmal Hassan Shantum who called right and chose to bowl.
00:57Bangladesh go in with the six specialist batters
00:59with Nushfiqar Rahim, Shaqib Al-Hassan and Litan Das
01:02in that middle order with all their experience
01:05including the three-pronged pace attack.
01:10Pakistan come out with a strong 11
01:11under the new Test Era leadership
01:13of Jason Gillespie and Shaan Mazood
01:15with Abdullah Shafiq and Saim Ayub up the order
01:18and for the fourth time in Test cricket history
01:20Pakistan go with an out-and-out pace attack.
01:24It's now time to join the action.
01:31So an attacking field to start the first ball.
01:37A bit of swing back in, slightly too full
01:40just clipped away leg side.
01:43But this is what Bangladesh will want
01:45swing up front and then something off the surface.
01:57Down the leg side, he's hit the first, just leg buys.
02:04In the air and what a catch that is.
02:07Bit of out swing but Zakir Hussain
02:10he starts off this drill with a bang.
02:12What a catch at gully.
02:16What a start from Bangladesh.
02:18Straight into the game
02:20and exactly what their captain will want.
02:22It was full, it had a bit of a swing
02:25and yes, it's a shot that Abdullah Shafiq
02:27will not want to remember but take your hats off.
02:33Zakir Hussain, what a catch.
02:38So Abdullah Shafiq, he goes for two.
02:41It's three for one.
02:46That's a good shot.
02:48Just got a length
02:50that was useful to play that cut short back of a length
02:53and that's the first boundary for Pakistan.
02:58A little bit short
03:00and a little bit of width on offer too
03:02and yeah, it's a well struck shot, isn't it?
03:04Played firmly in front of square
03:06and that'll bring up his first boundary
03:08and first one off the bat too.
03:11A beautiful delivery.
03:13Is that an inside edge?
03:15Huge appeal.
03:17Bangladesh convinced.
03:19Are they going upstairs?
03:21Shariful Islam is totally convinced.
03:25Yep.
03:27Going upstairs.
03:31And that's it.
03:33That's it.
03:35That's it.
03:37Yes.
03:49Okay, the bat is close to the ball
03:52so I'm going to have ultra edge one available, please.
04:02Okay, just take that bat one for him, please.
04:05Okay, I'm rolling.
04:07Yeah, rolling through.
04:09Okay, rolling through.
04:11Yeah, just freeze it there.
04:15Adrian, we've got a spike on ultra edge one for him
04:17after the ball has hit the bat
04:19so I recommend you reverse your decision
04:21from not out to out.
04:23I'll let you know when you're on screen.
04:31Bangladesh with their second wicket.
04:34Shahan Masood
04:36is having a word
04:38with the umpire.
04:40He thinks that maybe the ball
04:42crossed the bat
04:44when that snicker showed.
04:46He's having that conversation
04:48with the umpires.
04:50Not happy bunny
04:52but it is Bangladesh
04:54with their second success.
04:56Shahan Masood out for six.
04:58Pakistan 14 for two.
05:04Oh, big appeal.
05:06There was a sound
05:08and the finger goes up as well.
05:10Bangladesh, well,
05:12they can celebrate because they've picked up
05:14the really big wicket
05:16of Babar Azam who walks back without scoring.
05:18They'll be
05:20dejected.
05:22Babar Azam was a nothing delivery,
05:24was it?
05:26That could have easily worked the angle.
05:28It wasn't to be
05:30but the batter prevailed.
05:33It was a brilliant take
05:35behind the stumps.
05:37He's a live fire
05:39and he is on fire,
05:41the left armour.
05:43Two and two for him.
05:45It's Babar Azam,
05:47the prolific run getter
05:49for Pakistan,
05:51walking back without scoring.
05:53It's 16 for three.
05:56Shahan Masood
05:58out for four.
06:04Pitched up and given the treatment.
06:06This time it will roll
06:08into the fence.
06:10Shaquille picks up a boundary
06:12to open his account.
06:18Short, wide and punished.
06:20Saima Youb was waiting
06:22for that exact delivery.
06:25Sao Shaquille, very good
06:27against spin, starts
06:29with the sweep shot, asserts himself
06:31against the spinner.
06:37Saima Youb,
06:39he'll go on his merry way, very attacking
06:41and they just sense
06:43it's an opportunity to score runs.
06:45A six over wide mid-off.
06:48And I went
06:50really launched
06:52into it
06:54and he sails over
06:56for the maximum.
07:02Swept away.
07:04Saima Youb is
07:06looking to get every opportunity
07:08that's available and turn them into
07:10score.
07:13Nice looking shot.
07:15A little bit of width on offer and you'll collect
07:17another boundary, Will Shaquille.
07:19So he's made a really promising start
07:21to this series so far.
07:26And he goes again.
07:28This time it's behind square.
07:30It's great placement.
07:32Excellent placement.
07:34The man was moved a little squarer
07:36and he's threaded for four.
07:39But they're making their way back in
07:41at a glorious shot.
07:43That has to be the shot of the day.
07:45Wonderful balance.
07:47Big straight bat and there was so much
07:49played through that ball.
07:53It's well left
07:55from Shaquille.
07:57Ends what was a very entertaining
07:59first session.
08:01It has to be said,
08:03it was a very entertaining
08:05first session.
08:07It has to be said,
08:0981-3 of 21 overs.
08:11Bangladesh picking up
08:13three vital wickets
08:15in that session.
08:17I think they'll be pretty happy with that,
08:19the Bangladesh camp.
08:21As for these two, they'll be delighted
08:23to have got in and got a start.
08:2581, there we go, three wickets
08:27at a healthy run rate.
08:31At deep, Pakistan walked off
08:3381-3 after a prolific
08:35leading partnership between
08:37Saeem Ayub and Saoud Shaquille of 65
08:39and 16-3, Pakistan
08:4181-3.
08:43It was the Bangladesh opening
08:45bowling pair that showed the wickets.
08:47Shariful with two, Hassan Mehmood
08:49with one. Naheed and Mehdi Hassan
08:51Miraz both with four overs apiece.
08:53Let's head back to the action.
08:57Shariful from the media
08:59box end.
09:01The interesting thing is how
09:03the pitch will develop.
09:09Nicely played. He rode the bounce
09:11and was able to bisect the gap.
09:13Gets it down to third.
09:15That'll be a boundary.
09:21Nicely played, nicely timed
09:23and that'll get him
09:25his first test match
09:27as Saeem Ayub gets
09:29past that milestone.
09:31That is a huge moment
09:33in his career.
09:35They stand up,
09:37the dressing room applauds,
09:39the crowd applauds and
09:41Saeem Ayub battles through
09:43the new ball and has now
09:45achieved 50.
09:47Hassan Mehmood
09:49to continue.
09:51He's got another one!
09:53We talked about temperament.
09:55We talked about
09:57the young man getting to 50
09:59and he's got another one.
10:01And it's that full length.
10:03The wonders of test cricket.
10:05How many times have you seen
10:07just after a break
10:09a set batter falls
10:11to a delivery
10:13who's chased slightly outside
10:15the off stump.
10:17His throne is batted at
10:19and Mehmdi Hassan Miraz
10:21behind the line with the
10:23keeper takes the catch.

11:52The two umpires come together again.
