PAK vs BAN Live Cricket Score

1 OUT! CASTLED! Instant impact for Taskin Ahmed on his return to the Test side after more than a year! A peach of a delivery to see the back of Abdullah Shafique for a duck. Taskin charges in from over the wicket and lands it on a good length, around the sixth stump line, Abdullah Shafique presses half-forward and looks to defend it right under his eyeline. The ball jags back in a long way off the deck and cuts Shafique in half. Beats the batter on the inside edge and it goes through the gap between the bat and the pad to rattle into the top of the off pole. Taskin is thrilled to bits as he lets out a roar.  0/1

33.3 OUT! STUMPED! First Masood and now Ayub, Mehidy Hasan has gotten both set batters. Saim Ayub runs out of patience and has thrown his start away. Mehidy comes from around the wicket for the left-hander and loops it up, on a nagging length, outside off. Saim Ayub sees the ball tossed up above his eyeline and gets tempted in the flight. He skips down the track and swings to go back over the bowler's head. He takes the risk of hitting against the turn and fails to get to the pitch of the ball. The ball spins away to go past him and the keeper, Litton Das does the rest. It is refereed upstairs and the third umpire first confirms that Das has collected the ball with his gloves behind the stumps and then proceeds to check for stumping where Ayub is short of his crease despite his attempt to turn around and put the dive in. Bangladesh with some quick inroads and Pakistan has now slipped from a comfy 107/1 to 122/3 in the span of just 6 overs.  122/3

27.2 OUT! LBW! An early breakthrough for Bangladesh right after the Lunch break. A huge confident appeal by Mehidy for LBW, and the umpire raises his finger. Shan Masood, after a brief chat with his partner, Saim Ayub, goes upstairs and challenges the on-field decision. Mehidy continues from around the stumps and drops in a length delivery on the middle and leg stump channel, Shan Masood weighs on the back foot and looks to nudge it away with soft hands to the leg side but plays over the line of the ball as the ball pitches and then spins away to brush the front pad first and then raps him on the back pad. No bat involved on UltraEdge and the Ball Tracking shows three reds with the ball hitting the middle and leg stumps on the projection. Pakistan burn a review and they are 107/2.  107/2

53.2 OUT! PLUMB IN FRONT! Shakib Al Hasan gets the big wicket of Babar Azam with not much time left before Tea. Shakib stays around the wicket and gets the ball to slide on with the arm and this skids through as well, on a fuller length, at the stumps. Babar Azam misreads the length as he goes on the back foot to a full delivery which he could have played on the front foot. Babar tries to work it across the line but the ball keeps coming on with the arm to beat him on the inside edge and pings him on the front pad. Babar does not opt for a review and goes for 31. Pakistan are 179/5.  179/5

43 OUT! TIMBER! Taskin Ahmed has the last laugh as he sends back Saud Shakeel who had just started to look settled in. Taskin drags the length back and gets the ball to jag back into the left-hander a long way from just outside the off stump. Saud Shakeel looks to make some room and slice it again but the ball nipping back gets Shakeel into a weird position as he gets cramped up for room. Gets an inside edge and it drags back onto the stumps. Taskin Ahmed gets his second wicket and is all pumped up. Shakeel couldn't make the most of his second life after being dropped when was on 1 by Mehidy Hasan.  151/4

64.2 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Finally, Nahid Rana has the reward for his persistence! Rana hits the deck hard and gets the ball to skid through, around off. Mohammad Rizwan stays leg side of the ball and pokes at the delivery. He pays the ultimate price as there is a bit of extra bounce on this one and the ball catches the outside edge. It goes straight into the waiting hands of Najmul Hossain Shanto at first slip who makes no mistake. A big blow to Pakistan as their star with the bat from the first Test is gone.  211/6

85 OUT! CAUGHT! Taskin Ahmed gets the last recognised batter for Pakistan as he makes Agha Salman walk back to the hut. Bangs the ball short at the batter and Agha Salman goes for the pull shot once again but the ball gets big on him and gets a top edge that flies down to Shakib Al Hasan who balances himself well near the ropes at fine leg and picks up his second catch of the innings. Pakistan are 274/9 now.  274/9

75.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Khurram Shahzad runs out of patience his patience and pays for it! Mehidy Hasan tosses the ball up slower and outside the off stump line and Khurram Shahzad throws the kitchen sink at it and slams it hard to the right side of Shakib Al Hasan who throws himself to the ball and ends up grabbing it with both hands. Superb catch by the left-hander.  236/7

79.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Shadman Islam grabs a good catch to send back Mohammad Ali! Mehidy Hasan tosses the ball up on the off stump line and gets it to turn into the right hander. Mohammad Ali stays on the crease and looks to block it but gets a thick outside edge that goes straight to Shadman Islam at first slip who does not drop it this time. Pakistan are now 246/8.  246/8

85.1 OUT! STUMPED! It's all over! Mehidy Hasan gets his FIFTH wicket as he gets rid of Abrar Ahmed. Floats the ball away from the batter outside the off stump and Abrar Ahmed dances down the track for a big shot. The batter misses the ball completely and Litton Das does the rest behind the stumps. Pakistan are bowled out for 274 runs in the first innings of the match.  274/10

7.1 OUT! BOWLED! Wickets off successive overs for Khurram Shahzad and he is thrilled to bits! Not the best of deliveries though from Shahzad, on middle and leg, shaping back in, on a short of a good length, Shadman Islam walks across his stumps slightly to use the angle to his advantage. Tries to flick it off his pads but fails to lay any bat on it. The ball goes on to hit his back thigh pad and deflects onto the leg pole. Pakistan have struck twice in the first half hour.  19/2

6 OUT! CAUGHT! Taken cleanly by Abrar Ahmed this time and Pakistan have their first breakthrough! Khurram Shahzad steams in from over the wicket and slants it into the left-hander, on a length, on middle and leg, Zakir Hasan attempts to work it away off his pads. He fails to keep the shot along the ground and flicks it straight into the waiting hands of the man at mid-wicket. It goes at knee height to Abrar Ahmed there who does the rest.  14/1

7.4 OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Khurram Shahzad is on a roll here! Bangladesh in early trouble on Day 3. Shahzad produces the delivery that he has been searching for so long. Charges in from over the wicket and gets the ball to tail back in viciously, on a length, on middle, Najmul Hossain Shanto's head falls over to the off side as he tries to clip it in front of square on the leg side. Pays the price for it as the ball brushes the front pad, sneaks past the inside edge and goes through to clatter into the stumps.  20/3

8.1 OUT! TAKEN! Mir Hamza gets into the act now! A soft dismissal and Mominul Haque stands there in disbelief. Not a wicket-taking delivery by any means as this is full and just outside the leg stump line,  Mominul Haque walks across and ends up walking away a bit too far that he has to reach out to work it away on the leg side. The ball comes onto the bat slower than Mominul anticipated and he ends up chipping it tamely to mid on where Mohammad Ali is standing really tight and he takes the simplest of catches.  20/4

10.3 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Mir Hamza gets the big fish! Bangladesh's star with the bat of the first Test is gone early and the visitors have now lost half their side. Hamza drags the length back and bowls it on a tight line, over middle. Mushfiqur Rahim hangs on the back foot and expects the ball to shape back into him. The line is such that he has to play at it. The ball nips away to catch the outside edge and the keeper, Mohammad Rizwan dives to his right to snaffle it. Litton Das is in at number 7 for Bangladesh.  26/5

11.3 OUT! LBW! A loud shout and the finger is raised! Shakib Al Hasan walks up to his partner and after having a chat, he takes the review. Importantly, it has been given on-field, so, the ball just has to clip the stumps for the decision to be upheld. Khurram Shahzad bowls it on a length from around the wicket, shaping back in, on middle and leg, Shakib Al Hasan's head falls over to the off side as he tries to get across and clip it off his pads. A risky decision to play across the line given the movement on offer this morning. The ball comes back in to beat the inside edge and rap Shakib on the front pad. There is nothing on UltraEdge and the Ball Tracking shows the ball to be clipping the leg stump. The on-field decision will stand and Bangladesh slip further in trouble. They are now 26/6, trailing by 248 runs.  26/6

78.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Saim Ayub grabs a very well-judged catch to end a brilliant innings from the lone warrior of Bangladesh, Litton Das! Agha Salman fires the ball into the pitch as he sees Litton Das stepping down the track for a big shot. Litton Das gets this one off the the toe end, a rare sight in this innings from him and it goes flat and low to the right of long on. Saim Ayub at long on makes a good sprint to his right and dives, grabbing the ball with both hands inches above the ground. A much-needed breakthrough for Pakistan. End of a marathon innings from Litton Das as he falls for 138 with Bangladesh trailing by 12 runs.  262/9

51.5 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Khurram Shahzad gets his fifth wicket and Pakistan have finally broken through. Khurram Shahzad pitches the ball up on the off stump line and gets it to nip away a little. Mehidy Hasan looks to get on the front foot and push the ball back but the ball stops in the surface and it results in Mehidy going through his shot early. Chips it straight back at Khurram Shahzad who grabs the catch to his left with both hands and runs away in joy. Mehidy goes for a well-made 78. Bangladesh are now 191/7, trailing by 83 runs.  191/7
