After the tourists declared at 557/8 with a splendid
maiden double century from Azhar Ali (226), their bowlers reduced
Bangladesh to 107/5 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium. Bangladesh
are trailing Pakistan by 450 runs and need 251 more to avoid a
follow-on.
Trailing Pakistan's huge total, Bangladesh lost their double centurion from the previous match in the first over when Tamim Iqbal (4) was trapped leg-before by Junaid Khan. Imrul Kayes' confidence showed as he cracked four boundaries off Junaid with some spectacular drives on the off-side. Kayes was looking good playing crisp drives on the front foot until he played one shot too many.
After Mominul Haque (13) was caught behind, finding a bottom-edge off Junaid, Yasir Shah sneaked past the gates of Kayes (32) as Bangladesh slumped to 69/3.Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq tested the Bangladesh batsmen bringing timely changes to his bowling attack. When he handed the ball to Wahab Riaz, he repeatedly pulled his length short, much to Mahmudullah's discomfort. Riaz was rewarded when one of his bouncers caught Mahmudullah (28) by surprise as he gloved it to short leg.
Shakib Al Hasan (14 not out) and Mushfiqur Rahim (12) tried to soak up the pressure. The latter survived a leg-before decision off Shah after reviewing it. Replays showed the ball had taken an inside edge on to his pad.But in the penultimate ball of the day, Shah deceived Mushfiqur with a googly and had him castled to leave the hosts in tatters.
