Pak vs Ban 1st Test Day 1, Live Updates
Bangladesh were brilliant with the new ball! They got three in no time but after that, they had to toil hard, the wicket was offering nothing and it was hard work for their bowlers. They though needed to be a lot more discipline but lack of wickets made them try things which saw them leak runs. The conditions are wonderful for batting though and their batters would want to make use of it. Pakistan on the other hand, would love to get a couple before Stumps.
Pakistan have declared then! End of a long batting effort from them and they have a big score on the board. At one stage, they were three down for not a lot and were in big trouble. However, the middle order stepped up. First Ayub and Shakeel steadied the ship. Ayub fell short after getting to a half ton but Shakeel continued. Rizwan was also at his best and both scored tons and put up a massive stand. They have taken their side into a position from where losing the game is quite difficult.
