Bangladesh's openers have a tricky phase to negotiate before the close of play. As per our estimation, they'll have 5 minutes to contend with, which should account for a couple of overs. We'll be back shortly for the start of Bangladesh's reply.

Pakistan end up with 274 on the board! Given the way they dominated the first session, they will be disappointed with this total. Five out of their top six batters got starts, but only Shan Masood and Saim Ayub managed to convert those into fifties. That said, it could have been a lot worse for them if not for Agha Salman's resilient knock. He batted with the tail, even though he had his fair share of chances as Bangladesh's bowlers continued to apply pressure throughout the day. Bangladesh would have taken this total at the start of the day. Mehidy Hasan led the charge with a five-wicket haul while Taskin Ahmed chipped in with three wickets.

85.1WMehidy Hasan to Abrar Ahmed
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.

84.6WTaskin Ahmed to
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.

82.50Taskin Ahmed to
Big shout but the umpire is unbothered! Taskin Ahmed gets the ball to nip back into the right-hander from a good length on top of the off stump and Agha Salman gets a hit on the front pad. The ball goes straight to Mehidy Hasan at gully who grabs it, diving forward. The umpire says not out as Mehidy Hasan even appeals for a catch. Bangladesh have no reviews left. Guess what, the replays have rolled in and the UltraEdge shows that there was an inside edge. A lucky escape for Agha Salman.
