Pakistan were bowled out for 274 before sending Bangladesh into bat in the late afternoon. Then the Tigers batted a total of 2 overs. The announcement to end the day comes as a bit of a surprise. As Pakistan had played 85.1 overs earlier, it looked like they could go on for at least 5-7 more overs. Daylight was also normal.

In the first innings, however, Bangladeshi opener Sadman Islam made a shaky start. Mir Hamza took the catch on the first delivery that jumped to Saud Shakeel at fifth slip. But luckily for Sadman, Shakeel dropped it. The sixth ball of that over crossed over from the bat of another opener Zakir Hasan towards the stumps. But good news – both are undefeated at the end of the day. Bangladesh collected 10 runs without losing any wicket, so far Pakistan is leading by 264 runs.

Bangladesh took one wicket of Pakistan at the beginning of the morning. Pakistan opener Abdullah Shafiq broke the stamp when he missed the ball from Bangladesh paceman Taskin Ahmed.

After that, captain Shan Masood and Siyam Ayyub started playing on the field. Settle on the wicket and increase the run rate. After handling the initial shock, Pakistan quickly picked up the team’s 100.

At the beginning of the second session, the captain San Masud was picked up by the Bangladesh bowlers. At that time, Pakistan’s team was 107 runs.

After that, opener Siam Ayyub could not stay at the crease for a long time. After adding seven more runs to the score board, he got out in the whirlwind of Mirage.

Earlier yesterday, the first day of the match was abandoned due to rain. The second Test finally saw the light of day in Rawalpindi in the absence of rain today. Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and decided to bowl first in the second and last Test of the series.

Like the first Test of the series, Bangladesh has played with three pacers and two spinners. There has been one change in the visiting XI. Taskin Ahmed has entered the XI instead of Shariful Islam.

The hosts announced the 12-man squad a day before the Test. There was no place for pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi. Another pacer Nasim Shah has also lost his place from the XI. Instead, leg spinner Abrar Ahmed and left-arm pacer Mir Hamza got a place in the XI.
