00:00It's the second day of the first test match between Bangladesh and Pakistan
00:05in the Dutch Bangla Bank, Bangladesh-Pakistan Test Series, powered by Rocket
00:09and co-sponsored by Nexus Pay.
00:12Looking for a look-in, crawl-back situation, then the second new ball is the key to success.
00:21All set to go here, day two.
00:24Let's settle down the players to start off play.
00:30Empire says play, and let's play with Dutch Bangla Bank.
00:36Right there, lovely.
00:39Such a good feel when you get the first ball in the middle of the bat.
00:46Oh, drifting down the next side, just clipped away very comfortably for the first boundary on day two.
00:52Easy as they come.
00:56No, not again.
00:59So easy.
01:00Just another drift down leg side.
01:03Simple to flick it away for another Nexus Pay 4.
01:08Ah, induced the edge this time round, involuntary, but four nevertheless.
01:13The runs are coming thick and fast here.
01:18Oh, induces the edge, and it dies on the keeper, just to his right.
01:23Between 131 and 128.
01:27That was a good one.
01:28Big appeal.
01:30Ampar is not going to respond to that appeal.
01:32Sean Masood is asking.
01:34What do you think of the line?
01:36Seems to be okay.
01:37They've taken it.
01:42Just go back one frame.
01:48And, yeah.
01:49You can freeze it there.
01:50I have a clear spike when the ball hits a bat, and I can see a deflection.
01:55Kumar, you can stay with your original decision of not out.
01:58You're on screen. Signal now.
02:00Nexus Pay not out.
02:01Kumar Dhammasena spotting and hearing that little bit of inside edge.
02:06Oh, almost tempted him.
02:09That is a good delivery.
02:12Oh, and there is his 50.
02:16Murshvikar Rahim gets to his 29.50 on his birthday.
02:20Must have hurt a little bit, but the pain is not there.
02:24It's the pleasure of getting to another landmark.
02:28A great thing about that innings is how well he's played that line outside the off stump.
02:35Avoided the good deliveries.
02:36The concentration was brilliant.
02:40Check in for a long time.
02:42Not worry about the shots.
02:43Another outside edge and will be another four to Littendass.
02:48So these little edges are working well for Bangladesh this morning.
02:54Oh, that's another beauty.
02:56This time from Shahin Shah Afridi.
02:59Oh, he's a giant.
03:01He's a giant amongst cricketers.
03:03This time Littendass.
03:05He seems to love getting edges and getting boundaries.
03:11Oh, came back in sharply.
03:16Oh, brilliant.
03:17This is brilliant from Hassan Ali.
03:21Wide taken.
03:23What a catch.
03:24One-handed.
03:25That's the breakthrough Pakistan was looking for.
03:28Littendass.
03:30Can't believe it.
03:33Now he's waiting because he thinks that might have been on the bounce.
03:39So they might refer it and they will go upstairs.
03:43They do.
03:45Okay, just go back.
03:52Yeah, you can just freeze it there.
03:54I have the ball making contact with the ground.
03:57I'm ready to make my decision for the screen.
04:01Well, well, well.
04:03Littendass survives.
04:04Nexus may not out.
04:05The confirmation from the third umpire.
04:12Nicely driven.
04:13In control.
04:15Will get a couple.
04:20Shahin Shah Fridi comes around.
04:23Though we get to Mushfikur Rahim.
04:24But the experienced man has got something exceptional to reply.
04:31Shahin Shah Fridi with a classical boundary.
04:35Catch it is the call.
04:37I heard two sounds.
04:38But Kumar Dharmasena is unmoved.
04:49Way down the leg side.
04:50Maybe we're just brushing off his thigh pad here.
04:53It's the sound that might have just given them a bit of a doubt in the mind.
04:57Have a look at this.
04:58Yep.
04:59On the thigh pad.
05:02Catch it is the call.
05:03Littendass is in trouble.
05:05Mohamed Abbas caught his man.
05:08He picked up his second.
05:12Dejectedly, Littendass will take the long walk back towards the pavilion.
05:16First weekend of the day for Pakistan.
05:19Yeah, they had to wait 69 deliveries in the second morning before they picked up the wicket.
05:26Yeah, probably Gaur was caught in two minds whether to play a pull or not.
05:30He'll be disappointed.
05:321 for 33, Bangladesh.
05:343.38 for 5.
05:36And it's going to be drinks.
05:38200 and he's here because of this.
05:40I think he was late to react as well.
05:43Littendass, even the opportunity that he got when he was dropped at slip.
05:48But this time, Mohamed Abbas had the last laugh.
05:57Yeah, he looked the most dangerous bowler yesterday.
06:00And now he also is the one who picks up the first wicket on day two of this test match.
06:11It's not every time the ball is going to come nice and easy around your waist.
06:17Now, deviation down the leg side.
06:21Despite that despairing attempt, it's gone for four byes.
06:27That's honing in.
06:29Nicely clipped away.
06:31Going to be a chase.
06:33And just booted it in.
06:39Pitched it up.
06:40Lined wrong.
06:41Clipped away.
06:43And four runs.
06:44That's rather loose.
06:46Very unusual from Abbas.
06:48But four runs nevertheless.
06:52Catch it is a call, but nobody's there.
06:54And probably, even if anybody was, it'll sail over them.
06:59Yes, indeed.
07:00And what a way to get it.
07:01He has so quickly into that shot.
07:03Short-pitched.
07:04Swivel around.
07:05He's aiming to hit it.
07:07Upwards and over.
07:09Very well controlled shot.
07:11Perfect timing.
07:13And away it went.
07:17And a bowler who's, oh, now, as I was saying, it looks so very dangerous.
07:24Had one hit over the top, but immediately comes back with a wicket.
07:29A very, very, very good wicket.
07:32Imam takes a well-judge catch there.
07:35That was traveling.
07:37That was traveling and at a very odd height.
07:38He's taking it right under his chain, Imam-o-luck.
07:41There, he had to reverse cup that.
07:44Just make his decision as quickly as possible.
07:47And he's kept his balance.
07:50So, a little bit of luck coming their way.
07:52Good catch taken.
07:53Miraz goes for 10.
07:54And Bangladesh are 3-5-4 for 6.
08:00Ball, driven nicely.
08:01And a boundary.
08:03You can add that to that map over there.
08:10Into the lower middle order.
08:12How about that?
08:14Lovely angle.
08:15He deliberately opened the face.
08:17And here's that little bit of a pace.
08:20Did that pretty well, Tajul.
08:27Maybe, sir, might have just struck him out at the off-stamp.
08:33Well, if you can play shots like that, then keep batting.
08:37This is an issue.
08:39128 kilometers an hour.
08:40It's not going to even rush Tajul.
08:43It's another boundary.
08:44This time, slice past the slip, Corden.
08:47Pitch.
08:49Again, a short one.
08:50Again, it's a pull.
08:52This might not go all the way.
08:54It's a teaser.
08:56They should come back for the third, and they do.
08:59Non-striker.
09:01Sir, it'll be interesting whether that works for Bangladesh or not.
09:05That's fast, quick, taken by the keeper.
09:08That reared from that length.
09:10And Abbas has picked up another.
09:12He's both superbly within his range.
09:16Go-to guy for Shan Masood in Pakistan.
09:21And this was a nasty one.
09:23Just couldn't control this one.
09:24Got cramped.
09:26And in the end, a very good result for Abbas.
09:29He's worked extremely hard to pick up his fourth.
09:3417 valuable runs from Tajul.
09:36And seven down Bangladesh now for 378.
09:39And he's here because of this.
09:40Yeah, that zipped through and bowled at a very fine angle.
09:46There is one had to jump to take that one behind the stumps.
09:53Not looking at the ball as Bat was hiding the helmet.
10:01On the bounce to Salman Aliaga.
10:04He's more than a decent fielder in the slips.
10:08Staying low.
10:09Oh.
10:11Narrowly missing the head.
10:13But he somehow survives about it.
10:14379 for seven.
10:18And nicely behind that line.
10:20One from Abbas to Senna.
10:22So that...
10:26will be lunch.
10:31Yeah, I've got to say, much better effort from Pakistan.
10:35No matter what kind of surface you're playing on.
10:38That's the scorecard so far.
10:40380 for 700 from Shanta, which was yesterday.
10:43Mushfika Raheem unbeaten 71.
10:47Mominal also was looking good for his 14th test match 100.
10:51Dismissed 9 short.
10:53Shaheen 1 for 102.
10:544 for Abbas, the standout performer.
10:56Hassan Ali 1 for 72.
10:58Noman not used in that first session.
11:00So 1 for 80 for him in 20.
