- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.1 Gone! Lapse in concentration after a bit of a delay and a feeblish poke means he has to go back to the hut. Over the wicket and bowled shortish with the angle taking away, discernable outswing as well, gets a faint edge and has been gobbled by Rizwan! 18/110.1 What a start by Hassan Ali! Over the wicket, bangs it on a shortish length and gets it to nip away a fraction from middle, he is drawn into the edge and has been taken in the slips! 31/273.3 Nervous nineties and Mominul bites the dust! Fires in a quicker ball on the stumps, skids on and keeps a bit low; moves onto the back foot and tries to parry it across the line, hitting the front pad. Mominul reviews it immediately, and that looks plumb to me. Ultra Edge is coming up, no bat is involved there. Ball tracking confirms all three reds and hitting the middle-leg stump. A brilliant innings finally comes to an end. 276/452.2 Massive appeal and the umpire is unmoved! Good length ball nips back in with the angle. Shanto plays across the line with the straight bat, commits a bit late and thuds the top of the front pad. Masood sends it upstairs for another look. No bat is involved, confirmed by the Ultra Edge. Pitching outside off, shapes back in and hits the off stump. Finally, a sigh of relief from the Pakistan camp and the fielders celebrate. The 170-run partnership is broken and Abbas gets his deserved wicket. 201/3109.3 Cleans him up with a beauty! On a length and nipped the ball in and breached his defense as he played down the wrong line, tried to lash it down the ground and got undone by the angle and little bit movement. Huge breakthrough for Pakistan because he could have prolonged the innings and batted smartly with tail but now Pakistan can attack from both ends and finish up the innings quickly 380/896.4 Bowls a bumper wide outside off with whatever pace he can muster and gets the desired result, such a clever operator, he tries to bludgeon it downtown across the line and finds the fielder at mid-on - the fielder runs to his left and take a wonderful running catch. A lot of relief for Pakistan as they replenish their fluids in hot and humid conditions 338/5100.4 Straight to the fielder! Another soft-dismissal, needless! Back of a length at fifth stump line, Imam-ul-Haq with brilliant reflexes gobbles it up down his throat at backward point, barely had any Tim e to react. Abbas picks his second in this session, exactly what Pakistan were toiling for, but once again a loose shot as Bangladesh try to up the ante and pile up quick runs 354/6106.5 126.1kph. Bowls a well-directed lifter at middle, right at his eye-line and he gets in a tangle, trying to break free with a pull, ending up with a faint edge to the keeper, Abbas is absolutely pumped up, keeps finding ways to pick wickets 378/7110.5 Doesn't have the pace and yet bowls so well within himself, manages to dig in a bouncer at middle-stump and Ebadot has no answers to it, miscues it to Rizwan. A straightforward catch as the ball lobbed up and gave him plenty of time to settle under. Abbas gets a deserving fifer and feels euphoric, he is a model of consistency in the longer version of the game. 384/9117.1 Saud Shakeel takes a gem at second slip, diving to his right in no time and taking a stunner; was a length ball tight at off-stump and he slapped it, ending up edging it. Excellent cameo that has pushed the score past 400 413/10Extras37 (b 20, lb 8, nb 9)TOTAL413 all out (117.1 Overs, RR: 3.52, 557 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Mahmudul Hasan Joy, 6.1 ov), 2-31 (Shadman Islam, 10.1 ov), 3-201 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 52.2 ov), 4-276 (Mominul Haque, 73.3 ov), 5-338 (Litton Das, 96.4 ov), 6-354 (Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 100.4 ov), 7-378 (Taijul Islam, 106.5 ov), 8-380 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 109.3 ov), 9-384 (Ebadot Hossain, 110.5 ov), 10-413 (Taskin Ahmed, 117.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR54.4 Awais is gone! Taskin makes the breakthrough. This was an indisciplined shot from Awais, who throws his bat without a lot of foot movement at a short of a length ball outside off. He sends it flying off the outside edge to slip, where Shanto gets his paws on it. It's a nice, sharp catch, the ball was traveling rapidly and came to Shanto about shoulder-height. The big partnership is finally broken, and Bangladesh have an opening 210/221.6 Celebrappeal from Miraz and finds the breakthrough! Floated a good length ball on middle-off, leans forward to defend off the front foot, plays a bit late inside the line of the ball and strikes the front pad. That looks plumb, and Imam sends it upstairs to have another look. No bat is involved, confirmed by the Ultra Edge. All three reds on the ball tracking and hitting the middle-leg stump. Pakistan lose their first wicket and the review too. 106/163.4 down the track but can't clear mid on. Fazal goes too! What a horror morning this is turning into for Pakistan, who have now lost their fourth in close succession. Fazal had been batting so patiently, but runs at Miraz, who has fired this in flat. He had lofted him over his head a few overs ago, but Fazal gets too close to this one and can't get under it. He forces a shot and it flies flat to mid on, who holds it safely at head height. A fine maiden innings from Fazal, but he goes just as Pakistan needed him to stay and return some steadiness to the innings. 230/558.6 sliced to point. This is an outstanding low catch from Shadman! Was that a bit of a trap that Bangladesh had set? Taskin lets out a roar. He had bowled a full delivery outside off from around the wicket, and had Shan driving at it with an open face. But Shan fails to keep his shot down, and sends it in the air towards point, where Shadman dives hard and low to his right to get his hands on this chance, just a few centimetres before it hits the ground. The ball never got much higher than knee-height, but Masood had hit it well enough and it carried. Pakistan lose two in quick succession. 226/359.6 misses a sweep, Bangladesh go up in appeal for lbw, and umpire Dharmasena raises the finger! This looked a strong shout, as it pitched on about off, bounced and straightened, as Shakeel failed to make contact with the big, flat sweep. Shakeel reviews the decision though. Perhaps he's hoping the bounce will save him, because he seems to have been hit in line with the stumps. Ball tracker suggests it would have crashed into the top of middle and off. And that's the third batter Pakistan have had to say goodbye to in the last 20 minutes. Bangladesh are making the big moves this session. 227/492.1 Edged and taken! So two set batters back in the hut, exactly what Bangladesh hoped for! Both Rizwan and Salman depart in quick succession! Nahid delivers the goods, lands it short and hurries him with his searing pace and gets decent purchase of the deck, he got stuck deep in the crease and couldn't hold himself back, just went feeling for it and got a clear edge that has been taken by the fielder at second slip! It's a moving day in this Test. Pakistan still trail by 60 runs. Salman admonishes himself from that lapse in concentration 353/789.4 Tries to hit a few out of the park and perishes in the process! Generously flighted on middle and dropped it short as well, springs down the track and he lost his shape as he tried to loft it over mid-off but found Mahmudul who hangs onto a brilliant catch, reverse cups it and this is a vital breakthrough for Bangladesh 349/697.4 Drags it short and gets it to spin viciously across off, he got width and wanted to cut it behind square on off, Shanto takes a sharp catch at first slip. The plan works to perfection 372/899.1 Gone! Collapsing like a house of cards! Drops it short and slants it in from outside off, he stretches forward and chips it straight to the man at short cover. It's Mehidy's 14th fifer in Test cricket, what a tremendous feat. He has been a model of consistency for Bangladesh, got great bounce and spin as well. Conditions have got better for spinners 374/9100.3 Gets lured by the flight and it slants in a touch, prances down the track in a bid to loft it down the ground for a six, he missed the line and ends up making big ugly mess of his stumps, beautifully and strategically bowled to the tail lenders, tested his patience by dangling the carrot and he took it 386/10Extras25 (b 8, lb 2, nb 9, w 6)TOTAL386 all out (100.3 Overs, RR: 3.84, 477 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-106 (Imam-ul-Haq, 21.6 ov), 2-210 (Azan Awais, 54.4 ov), 3-226 (Shan Masood, 58.6 ov), 4-227 (Saud Shakeel, 59.6 ov), 5-230 (Abdullah Fazal, 63.4 ov), 6-349 (Mohammad Rizwan, 89.4 ov), 7-353 (Salman Agha, 92.1 ov), 8-372 (Noman Ali, 97.4 ov), 9-374 (Shaheen Shah Afridi, 99.1 ov), 10-386 (Hasan Ali, 100.3 ov)
