- 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.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR54.4 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. 106/158.6 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. 227/4Extras13 (b 4, lb 1, nb 8)TOTAL230/4 (63 Overs, RR: 3.66)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)
