2nd Test
Day-2 Afternoon Session Highlights:
Bangladesh team has fight back after Pakistan team got the early advantage
At The Tea of Day-2:
Pakistan scored 183/5 in 55 overs(1st Innings) vs Bangladesh.
Bangladesh made a strong comeback after lunch, taking four wickets in the second session and leaving Pakistan in a precarious position at 183 for 5 by the tea break.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz claimed both half-centurions, Saim Ayub and Shan Masood, while Taskin Ahmed and Shakib Al Hasan each picked up a wicket.
Pakistan added 84 runs but lost crucial wickets during the session.
Masood was dismissed in the third over after lunch, playing across the line as Mehidy’s delivery straightened after pitching on middle stump.
Saim Ayub, meanwhile, reached his fifty with a pull shot off Nahid Rana.
Mehidy continued his impressive spell by dismissing Ayub, who attempted to advance down the track to a tossed-up delivery that turned away from him, resulting in a stumping.
Saud Shakeel, who had a close call when Mehidy dropped him on one at second slip, later cut two deliveries from Taskin through square for four before being dismissed as Taskin’s delivery angled in and crashed into his stumps.
Bangladesh’s concern grew when Mushfiqur Rahim left the field holding his shoulder after attempting to stop a boundary at mid-off.
The team will hope the injury is not serious.
Babar Azam, who had looked solid with 31 runs, was dismissed by Shakib when he attempted to play across the line to a delivery that slid in, resulting in an LBW decision.
This dismissal extends Babar’s streak of innings without a half-century to 14.
Shakib almost had another wicket shortly after, but Zakir Hasan dropped a chance off Salman Ali Agha at short leg.
Mohammad Rizwan ended the session on 18 not out, hitting a boundary off Hasan Mahmud, and remains Pakistan’s hope for a strong finish in the final session.
