BAN vs PAK 1st Test LIVE
Hard length, wide of off, Mominul Haque leaves it all alone.
Good length, on middle and off, Shadman Islam blocks this off his front foot.
On a length, around off, Shadman Islam shoulders his arms at it.
FOUR BYES! Another bad bounce for the keeper and the ball races away to the fence for four extras. Good length, around off, Shadman Islam leaves it and the ball just doesn't bounce enough and beats Rizwan with a bad bounce to the keeper's left. Four byes.
Full and on off, Shadman Islam gets right on top of the bounce and blocks this out.
Pitched up, on the pads, Mominul Haque flicks this to fine leg for a comfortable single.
Mominul Haque comes in at 3, replacing Mahmudul Hasan Joy.
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A little bit of pause in play has surely helped Pakistan here as they get rid of Joy on the very next ball. On a length, around off, Mahmudul Hasan Joy doesn't move his feet confidently out towards the pitch of the ball. A slight hesitation from the batter was enough to get an outside edge, which is taken well by Mohammad Rizwan behind the stumps.
Mohammad Rizwan is not looking all that confident as he has been hit on his left thumb and is down in some pain. The team physio comes out in the middle and goes through the process of having a look at what is troubling Rizwan. The magic spray has been applied, and everything looks good to continue as Mohammad Rizwan puts his gloves on again.
Good length, around off, Shadman Islam leaves it. Rizwan gets an awkward bounce and fails to gather this as it deflects off his left palm. The ball is well left outside off and it once again drops in front of the keeper. Mohammad Rizwan should come a few steps closer and with him the slip cordon as well.
