00:30Welcome back to the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium
00:33as the Bankalpilla Presents Blue World City Test Series continue.
00:37It is still the first test and the action starts on Day 3.
00:41Pakistan having been put into bat declared on Day 2 at 448 for 6
00:47and Shahan Masood called a side back in which saw Rizwan with an unbeaten 171.
00:52Saoud Shaqeel pit another wonderful knock of 141 to have that 448 on the board.
00:58Bangladesh in pursuit played well.
01:01They did not lose a wicket for 27 in the 12 overs.
01:04Bangladesh start the day trailing by 421 runs.
01:09Let's join the action for the start of play at Day 3.
01:12♪♪
01:27Go on. What a take by Mohammad Rizwan.
01:31He's a man of crisis.
01:33Well, he's put his hand up not once but multiple times.
01:36Naseem has one.
01:39Take your hat off to Mohammad Rizwan.
01:41Wow!
01:43There's no sign of any stiffness there.
01:45That's for sure.
01:47It was a poor shot. Loose at best.
01:50And an absolute rip-snorter from the wicket-keeper.
01:57Baba enjoyed that, didn't he?
02:00Yes, a fantastic start from Naseem Shah.
02:03He's been right on the button.
02:04Exactly what Pakistan would have wanted.
02:06Zakir Hassan, he's been patient.
02:08He tried his best.
02:09He goes for 12.
02:11Bangladesh 31 for 1.
02:17And ball wide of the crease.
02:19Look and create that angle.
02:23That's authentic.
02:25Very confidently played.
02:29First boundary of the day.
02:32Nice shot.
02:34The sound of the ball on bat.
02:36You know it's a boundary.
02:38Also brings the 50 for Bangladesh with that 4.
02:47Oh, he's gone through.
02:49He's gone right through the defences.
02:51Khurram Shehzad, it has worked round the wicket.
02:54And Bangladesh have lost their captain.
02:57Oh, there was plenty of movement from around the stumps.
03:00Surprised everybody and also the left-hander.
03:09Have a look.
03:10Shaped to play the ball through.
03:14Extra cover.
03:15Left a bit of gap between bat and pad.
03:19And he has breached the defences of the captain of Bangladesh.
03:23And he has breached the defences of the captain of Bangladesh.
03:27Najmul Hassan Shanto.
03:29Who started to look very good.
03:31A timely wicket for Pakistan.
03:33It's 53 for 2.
03:43Again, just takes the outside half of the bat.
03:46This might go down for a well-needed boundary.
03:49And it does.
03:54Nicely driven.
03:56That's a beautiful shot.
03:58That's going to go to the boundary no matter how heavy the outfield would be.
04:08That's a full toss. Had to be put away.
04:10So important to get those runs.
04:12Getting opportunities in your favour.
04:15Extra cover.
04:23The minute you get fuller,
04:25then in the comfort zone you'll get put away.
04:28Just like that.
04:35Well, this time it's a moment of luck.
04:38He's creamed it through the cover for the boundary.
04:45That's brilliant.
04:47He's watched the ball to the very end.
04:49Played it late.
04:51And almost 180 degrees
04:53from where the ball started from Nasim's hand.
04:56And third has just fallen very fine to the boundary.
04:59It doesn't matter.
05:01He's gone short and he's given it a real spank in front of square.
05:10Nicely timed stroke.
05:13Nicely timed stroke to bring up his 50.
05:15It's his third 50 in Test career.
05:18He'll raise the bat to the gallery.
05:20Also becomes the first Bangladeshi opener to score a half century
05:24versus Pakistan since 2015.
05:27Well played, Shadman Islam.
05:31Shadman played well for his third Test 50.
05:34Remained not out on 53.
05:36And he was joined by Mominal who played well and scored a quick 45.
05:40Bangladesh going to the first session
05:42at 134 for 2.
05:46Nasim Shah was the one to bring about the first breakthrough.
05:49He bowled 14 overs, 30 for his one wicket.
05:52And it was Khurram Shehzad who picked up the wicket
05:54of the Bangladesh skipper.
05:56Bowling 8 overs, 28 for 1.
06:05Right, start of session 2.
06:08Drives it through the offside beautifully.
06:12That has been caressed to the fence.
06:19Beautiful delivery.
06:21Knocks him over.
06:22In drift, nip back.
06:24Khurram Shehzad gets timber again.
06:28What a delivery.
06:29Once again, going wide of the crease.
06:32Had the batsman looking to play the ball through extra cover.
06:36Again, a bit of gap between bat and pad.
06:39And that was more than enough
06:41for the fast bowler to prevail.
06:44Excellent work, excellent work.
06:46Pakistan was looking desperately for this breakthrough.
06:50And it's the man, Shehzad, who has done it again for his captain.
06:55It's Mominal who has been dismissed on 50.
06:58It was looking good.
07:00It's 147 for 3.
07:07Gives the charge.
07:09Doesn't quite get hold of it, but it's going to get him the result.
07:15Downs down and gets to the pitch of the ball.
07:17Oh, this time he's just pulled that.
07:19That half-tracker.
07:21Suddenly he's just put Salman off his line and length.
07:31And he's played some gloating.
07:34And he's played some glorious shots just like that.
07:38Now there's a lovely hit through the cover.
07:41He's starting to feel a little bit more comfortable.
07:49And he's picked the gap to an absolute perfection once again.
07:54You must have picked up the appreciation on my mic by my co-commentator.
07:58That is a shot and a half from Mushfiqar Rahim.
08:02So you had to come and prove a point here.
08:05And he's letting the bat to talk.
08:08Might be off the pads here.
08:10Nope, bat.
08:12So four more.
08:15Slash, slashes hard.
08:17And picks up another boundary.
08:19Was in the air for a while.
08:21Away from the fielders.
08:28Oh, bowled him!
08:34And he's got the ball again.
08:36And he's got the ball again.
08:38And he's got the ball again.
08:40And he's got the ball again.
08:43He's knocked him over on 93.
08:51And all that hype and build up comes to an end for Shadman.
08:58It's Muhammad Ali with the breakthrough.
09:02How would you believe it?
09:04The last three battles have been dismissed in the similar, exactly similar fashion
09:11What a time to pick up a wicket.
09:15What a moment.
09:17Shadman Islam looked very good.
09:20But he has to go.
09:22Bowled by Muhammad Ali for 93.
09:25Bangladesh, 199 for four.
09:29At tea.
09:31Pakistan will be happy to see the back of Shadman Islam.
09:41Pakistan surely must have been the happier side walking off for tea as they picked up the big wicket.
09:46As Muhammad Ali dismantled the middle stump of Shadman on 93.
09:50Bangladesh, at the end of the second session, 199 for four.
09:54Still trailing by 249 runs.
09:58It's now time to join our commentators.
10:02And to the offside.
10:08Starts off with a full toss and is just bunted through cover.
10:12A couple of runs for Mushfiq.
10:14Also brings up Bangladesh's 200.
10:21Edge and all goes through.
10:23First slip and the keeper.
10:25I don't think it would have carried but
10:29Back of the net.
10:30Beautiful delivery.
10:35There's one of them.
10:37Pleasantly greeted to the crease.
10:39With the boundary, Saim Ayub.
10:42Off the bat of Shakibul Hassan.
10:50As I said, just on cue.
10:54A gentle lob in the air of the bat of Shakibul Rahim.
10:58Straight to Shaan Masood.
11:02Shakibul Hassan falls.
11:04Bangladesh now lose their sixth.
11:11What a change.
11:15Mia just went a little bit
11:19on the offside and trying to stretch out.
11:22And in the end, the ball was not there.
11:25The first test wicket and it's a big one of Shakibul Hassan.
11:29For Saim Ayub.
11:31Shakibul Hassan goes for 15.
11:34And the change works for Pakistan.
11:36Bangladesh 218 for 5.
11:43Communicated back to Mushfiq Rahim.
11:46And he's bowling the leg spinner.
11:48This time drops it short.
11:50And pays the price.
11:51Litindas picks up his first boundary.
11:58Nice.
12:01Easy as you like.
12:04Elegant drive on the up.
12:10Slug, it's in the air, but there is nobody in that region.
12:14He'll go to the boundary and probably that's the reason
12:16why he's taken that chance.
12:18Litindas.
12:21Oh, lucky there.
12:26Just hanging his bat a little away from the body.
12:29Taking that inside part of that bat.
12:33Was bouncing a lot.
12:35That was a wide-edge delivery and he went for it.
12:38Controlled the stroke.
12:44Beautiful shot.
12:47One of the best.
12:51And he's got it.
13:01Sound of the bat again.
13:03Very promising.
13:05Also brings up the 50 partnership.
13:07And in quick time.
13:09Just to the 67 deliveries.
13:15Slashed hard and through the offside.
13:18And he's got it.
13:26Gets the outside edge.
13:28Picks up a boundary.
13:34Cracking shot.
13:36Lovely.
13:38Just a little check.
13:41And he goes there in beautiful style.
13:43His 28th in 50 test matches.
13:45And yes, well applauded.
13:49Like that.
13:51That is probably the shot of the innings.
13:55Has come down the track.
13:57And almost launched this out of the park.
13:59Has gone for a boundary.
14:05Short ball.
14:07Cries of catch it.
14:10But that's been smoked.
14:12That has been hit very powerfully.
14:14Back-to-back boundaries.
14:18Goes short again.
14:20And that has been pulled in the air.
14:22But that has been hammered out of the ground.
14:24That is out of the stadium.
14:32That's gone out of the stadium.
14:34What a shot.
14:36Great piece of timing.
14:39Oh wow.
14:41It disappears into the trees.
14:45Goes short.
14:47Has pulled again.
14:49That has been hammered.
14:51Nobody has seen that.
14:53It's gone so quickly.
14:55The three fielders on the fence.
14:57They just looked at each other.
14:59Gets to his 17th test match 50.
15:01And it has been entertaining.
15:03And it has been classy as ever.
15:09That was a nice shot.
15:11Nicely deflected.
15:13String down leg side.
15:15And it just eased away to the fence.
15:23Bangladesh definitely the happier side.
15:25As they went on to put 316-5.
15:27Courtesy of the 98-1 partnership.
15:29Between Mushfiqur Rahim and Litan Das.
15:31Mushfiqur Rahim 55.
15:33And Litan Das.
15:35And Litan Das.
15:37And Litan Das 52.
15:39He raced there with 58 deliveries.
15:43The surprise change of Saim Ayub.
15:45Picking up his very first wicket.
15:47In his very first over in Test cricket.
15:49It was that of Shakib Ul Hasan.
15:51That was the addition to the wickets column.
15:53It was 316-5.
15:57The match summary as it stands.
15:59At the end of day 3 in this first test.
