BAN vs PAK 2nd Test, Day 2 Highlights
We are back for the chase! The umpires make their way back out to the middle, and the Bangladesh players can be seen waiting patiently near the boundary ropes. It will be the inexperienced duo of Azan Awais and Abdullah Fazal to open the innings for Pakistan. Taskin Ahmed will take the new ball for the hosts. Let's go...
... FOURTH INNINGS ...
A mountain too high? Pakistan won't be all too pleased that they have to come back out and bat in the final half an hour or so of Day 3. This could be a tricky period, but on the other hand, they will be pleased that they haven't conceded even more runs. With the ball, Khurram Shahzad picked up another four-fer, matching his effort in the first innings and after toiling long and hard, Sajid Khan got three wickets towards the end of the innings to close things off. Hasan Ali and Mohammad Abbas bowled well in patches, but overall, it was an underwhelming display of bowling. Right then, about 8-10 overs left in the day, time and light permitting and Bangladesh will be eager to pick up early wickets. Can Pakistan's openers weather the storm and remain unscathed heading into Day 4? Let's find out as the chase is up next.
Rahim leads the charge for Bangladesh - Finally, after a bit over 102 overs, Pakistan have managed to bowl out the hosts in their second innings, but not before Bangladesh have managed to pile on a big lead. The target for Pakistan will be 437 big runs, and with over 2 days still remaining in the game, it is fair to say that we will get a result. Coming back to Bangladesh's batting, their top order didn't fire as expected again, and once again, it was Litton Das who provided a lot of impetus to the innings. Mushfiqur Rahim played second fiddle but once Das got out, Rahim took charge and built a few crucial stands with the lower order to score a fine hundred.
OUT! CAUGHT! Finally, the marathon knock of Mushfiqur Rahim comes to an end and with that, Bangladesh are bowled out for 390. Pakistan will need 437 to win this Test and level the series. Tossed up, around middle and off, Mushfiqur Rahim goes down on a knee and looks for a slog sweep at it. Doesn't get enough power behind it and the ball goes straight into the hands of Mohammad Abbas at the deep mid-wicket fence.
Tossed up, on the pads, Mushfiqur Rahim sweeps this towards the fine leg region and denies the single on offer.
Good length, around off, Nahid Rana defends this off his back foot.
NO BALL! Not again, Khurram. This was bowled down the leg on a length. Rana goes for a flick but misses but Khurram Shahzad has overstepped once again.
Good length, around the pads, Mushfiqur Rahim flicks this through square leg and takes a run.
Short and wide of off, Mushfiqur Rahim leaves it all alone.
Hard length, on off, Mushfiqur Rahim gets right behind the line and keeps it out.
NO BALL! Back of a length, on middle and off, Mushfiqur Rahim defends this out. The buzzer goes around as Khurram has yet again overstepped. 10th No Ball already by Pakistan in this innings, as mentioned by the on-air commentators.
FOUR! Innovative yet again by Mushfiqur Rahim. On a length, around off, Mushfiqur Rahim shuffles well across the stumps and scoops this over the keeper and towards deep fine for a boundary.
Good length, down the leg side, Mushfiqur Rahim looks for the leg glancebut misses out.
Khurram Shahzad is brought back into the attack now.

OUT! TAKEN! Bangladesh lose their ninth wicket and Sajid Khan gets his second. Fuller in length, just outside off.
