On Day 4 of the first Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh, Bangladesh firmly took control of the match, driven by a superb 191-run knock from Mushfiqur Rahim. Resuming at 389-6, Bangladesh extended their innings to 565 runs, building a solid 117-run lead. Rahim, alongside Mehidy Hasan Miraz, dominated the Pakistani bowling attack, with Miraz contributing 77 runs. Rahim’s innings, featuring 22 boundaries and a six, marked his 11th Test century and nearly a double-ton, lifting his team from a precarious position.
Pakistan's bowlers struggled to find breakthroughs on a flat Rawalpindi pitch. Naseem Shah (3-93) and Shaheen Afridi (2-88) put in valiant efforts but could not prevent Bangladesh from gaining a substantial lead. Late in the day, Bangladesh managed to dismiss Pakistani opener Saim Ayub early, leaving Pakistan at 23-1 at stumps.
