Historic whitewash secured by Bangladesh - Bangladesh has scripted a monumental chapter in their cricketing history by defeating Pakistan by 78 runs to seal a flawless 2-0 series whitewash. Building on their historic, first-ever victory against Pakistan on home soil, the Tigers carried relentless hunger into the second match. They entirely outclassed the visitors across all three departments, proving that their rising dominance in Test cricket is no fluke. Next up for both Bangladesh and Pakistan, they have to get ready as Australia will be throwing a handy challenge at them. The mighty Aussies will be touring Pakistan first in the month of May and June, and then Bangladesh. Cheers for now.
Tigers triumph - Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto proudly accepts the silverware before instantly passing it over to his ecstatic teammates. The squad congregates eagerly in front of the Winners podium, their faces illuminated with pure joy as they pose for photographs with the coveted trophy in hand. The undeniable elation shared between the Bangladeshi players and their coaching staff perfectly embodies the crowning achievement of their relentless efforts, tactical brilliance, and unwavering team spirit throughout this historic series triumph.
Player of the Series Mushfiqur Rahim - Mushfiqur Rahim has been rewarded as POTS for scoring 253 key runs in the 2-match Test series. Rahim expresses deep gratitude for the accolade but humbly attributes the honor to the collective dedication of his teammates. When assessing Pakistan's spirited fourth-innings fightback, Rahim credits Litton Das as the ultimate differentiator between the sides, noting that Das's resilient first-innings rescue act completely revitalized the team's morale. Reflecting on the motivation driving his prolonged career, Rahim smiles and shares that he feels profoundly blessed to represent the national team, concluding that true happiness simply comes from being alive and having the privilege to play for his nation.
Litton Das wins the Player Of The Match - Litton Das has been adjudged POTM for his splendid contribution with the bat, where he scored 126 runs in the first innings and 69 in the second innings. Das mentions that early wickets initially hindered his approach until Najmul Hossain Shanto advised him to attack. Das backs his strengths and shifts into a traditional Test mindset after finding boundaries, knowing that occupying the crease for another 10-15 overs can dramatically alter the match outcome under looming rain threats. Addressing his decision to refuse singles with the lower order, Das clarifies that shielding the tailenders from excessive strike exposure is a protective strategy rather than a selfish act, ensuring collective safety and allowing him to pass fifty. Litton Das reckons this satisfying century as likely the finest of his career, citing a sluggish outfield, an unforgiving Day 1 surface, and the immense tactical challenge of managing deep field placements while batting with the tail.
The losing skipper of Pakistan, Shan Masood - Shan Masood mentions his team's defensive lapses, admitting that allowing Bangladesh to post 390 runs in the second innings proves their rivals simply played better cricket. While reflecting on Pakistan's overall form, Masood adds that Pakistan at time have completely outplayed the opposition in numerous past Test matches, though he accepts that results do not always go their way. Shan Masood reckons that while they could have made better tactical decisions and executed their plans more effectively, learning remains a fundamental part of the sport, and the squad is determined to grind harder to achieve better results in the future.
Time for the presentation ceremony ...
Taijul’s tactical triumph seals Bangladesh's Victory! The final morning began with high drama as Pakistan’s overnight batters counter-attacked aggressively, adding 40 quickfire runs to unnerve the hosts. Recognizing the danger, Najmul Hossain Shanto made a decisive tactical masterstroke by handing the ball to Taijul Islam. The left-arm orthodox spinner immediately turned the game on its head, halting the visitors' momentum and triggering a swift final collapse. Despite a heroic, top-scoring effort of 94 from Rizwan and resilient lower-order resistance from Sajid Khan, Taijul's brilliant spell proved insurmountable, bowling Bangladesh to a historic 78-run victory.
Rizwan and Salman fuel a Day 4 thriller - Facing an improbable chase, Pakistan mounted a spirited fightback on Day 4 behind a captain's knock of 71 from Shan Masood and a composed 47 from Babar Azam. Taijul Islam halted their momentum by dismissing both set batters, but his joy was short-lived as Pakistan's lower-middle order dug in. Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha orchestrated a magnificent 134-run partnership, shifting the pressure back onto the hosts and turning a processing victory into a genuine thriller. Taijul broke the agonizing stand by bowling Salman for 71, but Rizwan stood unbeaten on 75, leaving Pakistan trailing by 121 runs with three wickets remaining at Stumps on Day 4.
Mushfiqur’s mastery sets a mountainous target - Bangladesh capitalised on their psychological advantage, batting with supreme authority in the second innings to firmly shut out the visitors. Mushfiqur Rahim was the architect of this dominance, compiling a majestic 137 to notch his 14th Test century. He was brilliantly mirrored by Litton Das, who rode his luck through multiple lifelines to stroke a stylish 69, while Mahmudul Hasan Joy's fifty from the top-order helped to set the tone for the rest of the innings. Bangladesh set Pakistan a monumental fourth-innings target of 437 runs on a rapidly deteriorating pitch.
Pakistan crumble against Taskin and spin - Pakistan's response was marred by a top-order collapse under intense pressure on Day 2. Taskin Ahmed’s fiery new-ball spell removed both openers early, reducing the visitors to a precarious 23 for 2. Aside from a fluent, well-crafted 68 from the returning Babar Azam, the middle order capitulated completely after his dismissal by Nahid Rana. Highly regarded specialists fell in rapid succession to Bangladesh's relentless spin duo. A late, aggressive 38-run cameo from Sajid Khan pushed Pakistan past 230, but a clinical cleanup by Rana and Taijul Islam handed Bangladesh a vital 46-run first-innings lead.
Early inroads and Litton’s rescue act - Opting to bowl first on a responsive Sylhet surface, Pakistan reaped immediate rewards. Mohammad Abbas struck in the opening over, setting off a top-order collapse that left Bangladesh reeling at 116 for 6 against a disciplined seam attack. The tide turned when Litton Das took absolute control, anchoring the innings with a brilliant, counter-attacking century. His lone-warrior effort dragged the hosts to a fighting first-innings total of 278. Khurram Shahzad led Pakistan’s bowling with an impressive four-wicket haul, well-supported by Abbas, Hasan Ali, and Sajid Khan.
Bangladesh have whitewashed Pakistan in the 2-match Test series. A six-wicket haul for Taijul Islam in the fourth innings and a 9-fer in the Test has helped Bangladesh dominate the visitors and win this Test match by 78 runs.

OUT! TAKEN! That will bring Taijul Islam's sixth wicket, and the game is done and dusted. Flighted and fuller, around off. Khurram Shahzad clears his front foot and goes for a wild heave. He does connect the ball, but doesn't get enough power and hits the shot toward deep mid-wicket. Tanzid Hasan moves to his right and takes a well-judged catch, just in front of the fence. Bangladesh beat Pakistan by 78 runs and have won the series 2-0.

DRINKS! A hydration pause is called immediately following the breakthrough of Mohammad Rizwan. Pakistan's promising start to the day has completely dissolved, replicating old failures where potential fails to yield results. Both set overnight batters collapsed in a heartbeat. Bangladesh now commands the final stretch of their march toward a comprehensive series whitewash. While the final pair mathematically remains in play, chasing this deficit is nearly an impossible mountain to climb without a miraculous turnaround. Also, Mohammad Abbas is the final batter to walk out.

शरीफुल इस्लाम To मोहम्मद रिजवान OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Unless there is some miracle, this is surely the final nail on the coffin. Shoriful Islam comes over the wicket and bowls on the back of a good length, angling it away from the batter. Mohammad Rizwan rocks back and awkwardly tries to block it to the off side. The ball takes the outside edge and flies low toward the gully region. Mehidy Hasan Miraz gets down to his left and takes a sharp catch around his shin height. Just a wicket and this match will be written in the history books of cricket. Kudos to Mohammad Rizwan for bringing the game this close, but he will surely regret not winning it for the team. He had a fantastic knock, scoring 94 off 166 balls.

He tosses it up, fuller, pitching it just outside off and turns it away from the batter. Sajid Khan gets on his front foot and looks to block it, but the ball grips and kisses the outside edge before going into the cusp of Najmul Hossain Shanto, who moves to his left to take the catch.

Mohammad Rizwan has a huge task on his shoulder and on the other end, Sajid Khan will have just one job, to hold the wicket. Nahid Rana will be starting the proceedings on this final day of the Test match. The sky is gloomy, so the pacers might get a little advantage. Rana to Rizwan with two slips and a gully in place. Here we go...
UPDATE - 3.58 am GMT - Not a great news folks, but certainly not a terrible one either. It has been raining overnight in Sylhet and that is the reason why the start of the play has been delayed by 15 minutes. The groundsmen have done a tremendous job of draining the puddles from the ground. However, it's still overcast, and we do have a rain prediction, but if things are right, we will be starting the play at 4.15 am GMT. Stay tuned with us!
PITCH REPORT ON DAY 5- Athar Ali Khan is pitchside with his valuable insights. He starts off elaborating on the situation of the game, saying that Bangladesh will need three wickets to wrap up an historic win. Pakistan still has Rizwan, who has shown immense resilience. Then he adds that the pacers haven't done much damage lately, but it's Taijul Islam who was outstanding on the previous day. Continues that the pitch still looks good, but the ultimate challenge for Pakistan would be to hold the wicket on the other end.
The blueprint for victory - To seal the result in their favor, both camps must execute opposite strategies with absolute perfection. Bangladesh needs their star left-arm spinner, Taijul Islam, to exploit the fifth-day pitch wear with relentless accuracy, choking the runs and utilizing close-in fielders to squeeze out the final three batsmen. On the other hand, Rizwan must heroically shield the lower-order tailenders, farm the strike carefully, and punish any loose balls to whittle away at the remaining runs. It is a pure battle of strategic patience versus attacking pressure, and the team that controls the opening hour will claim the ultimate trophy.
The final equation - As the teams take the field, the game situation leaves all three classic Test results mathematically on the table. Pakistan are far from totally out of this contest, the formidable Mohammad Rizwan remains undefeated out in the middle, anchoring the chase with his side still needing 121 runs to secure an epic victory. However, the pendulum undeniably swings heavily toward Bangladesh, who require just 3 more wickets to wrap up the match. With Pakistan’s recognized batting order depleted, their notoriously vulnerable tail is fully exposed, meaning a few clinical breakthroughs will hand the visitors a celebrated victory.
A defiant guard - The intense atmosphere surrounding this final morning has been set up by Pakistan’s remarkably gutsy batting exhibition on the penultimate day. Staring down an astronomical fourth-innings target of 437 runs, their line-up faced crushing pressure. Instead of folding easily, a spirited middle-order fightback breathed life straight back into a contest that was rapidly slipping away. A heroic, stubborn century partnership between Salman Agha and Mohammad Rizwan frustrated the fielding side, changing a potential quick capitulation into a genuine rearguard action that kept their nation’s fighting hopes alive.
The brink of history - Welcome to the fifth and final day of this monumental second Test match, where five days of relentless drama culminate in a massive, high-stakes finale. There is an electric hum of enthusiasm in the air as Bangladesh stands right on the threshold of a historic achievement, securing a monumental series whitewash against Pakistan. Having already outclassed their opponents on Pakistani soil in 2024, the visitors are now within reach of back-to-back Test series wins, completing a spectacular home-and-away clean sweep. Every single delivery of this morning session bears the immense weight of cricket history for the Tigers.
... DAY 5, SESSION 1 ...
Into the final day - If anything, Pakistan have done themselves proud by pushing this into a fifth day. They have worked hard and their batting looked a lot more organised in the second innings compared to their first dig. But with only Mohammad Rizwan as the recognised batter out in the middle, one end stays exposed with him tasked to shepherd the tail for as long as possible. Bangladesh are just three wickets away, and they would want to wrap it up tomorrow in the first session itself. It will be a test of resilience for the tourists. Join us on Wednesday, 20th May, as the first ball of Day 5 is scheduled to be bowled at 4 am GMT. See you then!
A valiant fight in the third session - Pakistan were staring into the abyss, but Rizwan and Agha hauled them back into the contest with a brilliant 134-run partnership. Gritty when they needed to be, proactive when the opportunity arose, the two batted with real maturity. Both were well-set to carry Pakistan forward. But Bangladesh knew that one breakthrough here could bring the house down. Just when panic was about to set in the Bangladeshi camp, it was Taijul Islam who broke the back of Pakistan's lower middle order with the second new ball. He dismissed the well-set Salman Agha and fished out Hasan Ali soon after as well. The tourists slipped from 296/5 to 304/7, and Bangladesh now find themselves in the driving seat to script history.
Taijul and Nahid turn the screws on - Pakistan still had a herculean task ahead coming into the afternoon session. Babar and Masood batted nicely in the first half hour or so and kept scoring at a good clip. However, it was Taijul Islam who broke the 92-run stand for the third wicket by fishing out Babar, who looked in pristine touch. From that moment, Bangladesh wrestled back control, sending Pakistan tumbling from 133/2 to 162/5, with the well-set Masood also falling for a fine fifty. Salman Agha and Rizwan then took it upon themselves to bat out the session, weathering testing spells from Nahid Rana and Taijul to see Pakistan through to 200/5 at the break.
Babar and Masood steady Pakistan - Mehidy was in action in the morning, snaffling a stunning gully catch to end Abdullah Fazal's patient vigil before trapping Azan Awais in front with a crafty in-drifter. Pakistan were under pressure, being pushed to rebuild. But Masood and Babar came together and steadied things up pretty well. With no demons as such on the pitch, the two looked proactive, feasting on anything loose, as they peppered the fence with a string of crisp boundaries to see the session through. Nahid Rana bowled a superb spell with control and was supported by the two spinners, who bowled consistently on tight lines.
STUMPS ON DAY 4 - Well, there it is. The umpires take the reading and have come to a conclusion that the artificial light has taken over the natural light. So the conditions are not favourable enough to continue. The players walk off the field due to bad light. Nonetheless, it has been a gripping day of Test cricket overall. Bangladesh have the upper hand, but Pakistan have displayed a tough fight to stay afloat. Although they are hanging on a cliff right now, with just three wickets in hand.

FOUR! Misfield. An absolute schoolboy error there. Taijul bowls another short delivery, outside off, Sajid Khan presses back and this time, with more control, cuts it to short third. The fielder, Tanzid Hasan is late to dive to his left. Does get his left hand on the ball, but it seeps through to the deep third fence for a boundary. Pakistan need 125 runs. Bangladesh are 3 wickets away from a historic win.

OUT! BOWLED! A stunning delivery from Taijul and he breaks this massive 134-run stand. And one can see a huge sigh of relief on the Bangladeshi players. An arm ball from Taijul, sliding back into the batter, on a fuller length. Salman Agha is drawn forward and looks to block it straight, but the ball keeps drifting in and sneaks through the gap between the bat and pad to crash into the stumps behind. Taijul lets out a huge roar as he has his third wicket. Could be a turning point in this game. Salman is absolutely fuming as he makes his way to the dugout, smashing his bat on the advertising board. Pakistan are 296/6, needing 141 runs.

FIFTY FOR SALMAN AGHA! A fine, fine knock from him. He has been very responsible with his shot selection, especially against the spinners, and hasn't looked troubled at all, stitching a solid stand with Rizwan. Full and around the off-stump line, Agha walks forward and drills it down to long off for a single to get to his 12th Test half-century. Still, a long way to go for Pakistan, but the fight is well and truly on.

मेहदी हसन To आगा सलमान
Oh, so close! A matter of few inches we can say. Short and into middle stump. Salman nudges it to mid-wicket, where Rahim fumbles, and both batters seize on the hesitation to sneak a quick single. Rahim recovers sharply, picks up to his right. Salman is forced to dive to slide his bat in as Rahim fires a direct hit at the bowling end. The replays roll and it shows that Salman gets his bat inside the crease just in time before the stumps are hit.
Is Salman run out at the non-striker's end? The Bangladeshi players are excited and the decision is sent upstairs by the on-field umpires. And whoa! The replay shows that Salman has just managed to drag his bat in before Mushfiqur Rahim scores the direct hit. Saved by the barest of margins there. Almost a moment of brilliance for Bangladesh.

मेहदी हसन To आगा सलमान
Tossed up, fuller, around off, Salman Agha reverse sweeps it to the left of the deep backward point fielder and gets a couple of runs. This brings up the 100-run partnership between Salman and Rizwan. Brilliant batting from these two so far and would like to see off till Stumps.

Drama! Mohammad Rizwan is unhappy with the movement around the sidescreen. But Litton Das chirps something from behind the wickets, which Rizwan doesn't like at all, and both get into a bit of a heated exchange. The leg umpire walks towards them and tries to cool things down. All good to continue. But you will see more of this now as we head into the day's climax.

DRINKS BREAK! A long session for Bangladesh. They haven't been able to break this sixth-wicket partnership as Rizwan and Salman Agha have stitched together a valiant effort in a massive run chase. The visitors have added 53 runs since the start of the third session at a fair clip, and without taking many risks. The hosts still have the upper hand, but they would want to at least get one of these two batters in the hut before the day ends. The second new ball is still 10 overs away. The pitch has played really nicely for batting, and barring the odd one turning and bouncing, nothing of note has troubled these two so far. All set and ready after the interval. Mehidy Hasan Miraz (16-1-48-1) to continue.

His 14th Test half-century, but he will know that the job is far from done here. Flatter, full and on the pads, Rizwan gets on one knee and nails the sweep to the deep square leg fence for a boundary. Not much of a celebration, just a look up to the skies to thank the one above.

Good start from Shoriful. Full and tailing from middle to leg, Salman Agha looks to flick it across the line, but plays all over it and wears it on the front pad. The ball then rolls it to mid-wicket. There's an appeal for LBW, but the umpire shakes his head. Possibly going down leg.
We are back for the third session! The players are making their way out to the middle now. Pakistan are still a long way away from the target, needing 237 more runs to win, but here are Salman Agha and Mohammad Rizwan to resume the chase. Shoriful Islam to start proceedings with the ball. Let's go...
... DAY 4, SESSION 3 ...
Bangladesh bowlers tighten the grip - After the Drinks break, Taijul provided Bangladesh with the breakthrough as Shan Masood fell to a sharp short-leg catch from Mahmudul Hasan Joy. The left-arm spinner looked full of confidence from thereon, constantly troubling the batters alongside Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto rotated his bowlers smartly and was rewarded when Nahid Rana dismissed Saud Shakeel. Bangladesh threatened to grab a couple more wickets before Tea, but Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha managed to hold on, albeit unconvincingly at times, with a few loose strokes. The hosts sense an opportunity heading into the final session, which has the potential to be the last session of both the match and the series. Join us at 9 am GMT to catch all the action in the final session.
Momentum with Bangladesh - SESSION SUMMARY - 99 runs and 3 wickets in 27 overs! Pakistan began the session solidly, negotiating the first half hour or so without losing a wicket as Babar Azam and Shan Masood steadily chipped away at the target. Masood brought up his half-century, and the pair added a crucial 92-run stand. However, the momentum shifted dramatically after Babar got strangled down the leg side against the run of play.

Spectacular reply by Taijul. An absolute peach! Drifts in on middle, lands on a fuller length. Salman Agha is sucked on the front foot to block, but the ball lands and spins across the bat's face, beating it by a whisker. A slight appeal for caught behind, but nothing doing.

Good fielding! Short and spinning away from off. Salman cuts it hard off the back foot and gets it through backward point and the cover gap. Nahid and Shoriful chase it and it is the former who dives to flick the ball back into the playing area to save two for his team.
Mohammad Rizwan is taking in some fluids. Maybe, a bit of game-management as well to eat up some time as we are not far away from the Tea break.

OUT! CAUGHT! A big, big wicket for Taijul Islam and the celebration from the catcher, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, tells you the story. He bowls it short, pitching it on off, and turns it into the batter. Shan Masood hangs back and tries to pat it down, but the extra bounce takes the splice off the bat. Joy at short leg stays low and takes a fantastic catch around his shoelaces. Just when we thought the resilience would continue from Pakistan's skipper, he has lost his wicket. Pakistan lose both the set batters in quick succession.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Rana unleashes his magic again. Much fuller, almost a yorker from Rana, wide outside off. Saud Shakeel plays away from the body, looks to drop his bat down to jam it away, but gets nicked on the outside edge. Huge appeal from Bangladesh and up goes the finger. However, Saud Shakeel opts for a review. The UltraEdge shows a clear spike when the bat grazes the ground, but there is a spike when the ball passes the bat as well and the on-field decision is upheld. The change to bring Nahid Rana back into the attack has done wonders for the Bangla Tigers. Pakistan are 154 for 4 now.

DRINKS BREAK! Despite losing Babar Azam, Pakistan have maintained a decent pace in this afternoon session, adding 51 runs in 17 overs so far. Shan Masood has held one end solidly and has largely looked unchallenged. Though there is some turn on offer for both the spinners, Shan has played them really well. Still a very long way to go for Pakistan as they need 285 runs. Bangladesh have a lot of runs to play with, but they will look to prevent big partnerships from materialising and keep chipping away at the wickets. Back to pace as Nahid Rana (7-2-24-1) is back on after the hydration break, replacing Mehidy Hasan Miraz.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Strangled down the leg side and Babar Azam is just standing there in disbelief. Taijul Islam pushes this through quicker, shortish and angling into the leg side. Not a wicket-taking delivery at all. Babar stays in his crease and looks to glance it away but only manages to get a nick behind. Litton Das, the keeper, moves to his left and takes a sharp low catch. Bangladesh are absolutely delighted as they know the importance of this wicket. Pakistan are 133/3, needing 304 runs.

Welcome back, folks. Pakistan are miles away from the target. The umpires and players punctually make their way out to the middle. Babar Azam and Shan Masood walk to the crease as the Bangladeshi players take their spots on the field. Taijul Islam will get us underway in the post-Lunch session. Let's play...
... DAY 4, SESSION 2 ...
Masood and Babar fight it out - Pakistan were back to square one to reconstruct. But Masood, who has been guilty of not converting his sweet 20s and 30s into something substantial, dug in with purpose. Babar brought his customary calm to the other end, and together the two began to wrest back control, finding the fence several times in the second half of the session to give Pakistan something to smile about. Bangladesh were as precise as ever with the ball, but will want to tighten things up in the field as they were pretty sloppy. For Pakistan, the presence of Masood and Babar together for as long as possible is the key to avoiding a collapse. Although there are not many demons, but the spinners have found decent purchase from the surface, and it will only get harder to bat on as it wears on. The post-Lunch session begins at 6.40 am GMT. Join us then.
Early inroads with the ball - It was a big test of character for both Pakistani openers against a consistent pace attack. The pitch offered no real demons, but Shoriful Islam and particularly Nahid Rana probed hard by hitting the right areas and testing their resolve. Azan Awais looked the more assured of the two, but Abdullah Fazal could not hold on for long. Azan too failed to convert his start into something meaningful, and both openers were back on either side of the Drinks break, with Pakistan reduced to 41/2. Mehidy Hasan Miraz was involved in both the wickets, first taking a spectacular catch at gully and then prising out Awais off a beauty.
A mixed bag morning session - 24 overs, 101 runs, 2 wickets. Something for everyone in the first session of Day 4. Bangladesh would be delighted to dismiss both the Pakistani openers early in the day, whereas Pakistan won't be too displeased with the way they closed out the session with two of their batting stalwarts seeing it through. The toil ahead is long, though, and both Masood and Babar know that patience and resilience will be the only currency that matters from here.

Quicker one, and this one keeps low on the bounce. On a length, around the leg stump. Shan Masood goes deep in the crease to whip it across, but plays all over it and is hit on the front pad. There's a slight appeal for LBW, but not given. The bowler himself gestures that it is going down leg.

FOUR BYES! Spins very sharply down the leg stump line, short in length. Babar Azam gets inside the line to nudge it to the leg side, but misses. The keeper, Litton Das, is blinded by the batter and is a bit late to react. The ball goes past him to the left and runs behind to the fence. 100 UP FOR PAKISTAN!
Assuming we will get one more over in the session. Babar Azam and Shan Masood take their sweet time in the middle as they have a brief chat. Good to continue.

The fielder charges in, picks up and fires a wild throw to the bowler's end that misses by miles.

मेहदी हसन To अज़ान अवैस OUT!
OUT! LBW! Miraz strikes with a beauty. Bowls a bit round-armish, with a nice bit of flight on middle, Azan Awais stretches forward to defend this full ball, but it keeps drifting in and he plays over it, getting beaten on the inside edge and being rapped on the front pad. A huge appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. Azan Awais has a chat with Shan Masood and opts to take the review. There is no spike on the UltraEdge and the Ball Tracking shows that the ball is clipping the leg stump on umpire's call. So, the on-field decision is upheld. Awais departs after a decent start, but couldn't convert. Pakistan do not lose the review, but have lost both their openers now. They are reduced to 41/2, needing 396 runs.
Review time! Looks dead straight to be honest. And yup, nothing on UltraEdge. Umpire's call as the ball is projected to clip the leg stump.

DRINKS BREAK! The first hour has flown by on the fourth day and despite a decent resilience shown by the Pakistani openers, Bangladesh have managed to split that pair. The surface still looks good to bat on, but variable bounce is creeping in and it will only wear further as the match progresses. Azan has looked assured so far and will need to forge a strong partnership with his captain, Masood, from here and bat through the session. Bowling from Bangladesh has been largely precise as well and they will look to get one more out before the Lunch break to tighten their grip on the contest further. Nahid Rana, who has bowled pretty impressively, picking up a wicket, will continue after the hydration break.

Length outside off, at 129.3 kph. Azan hangs back and punches it to the left of deep cover. Taijul runs across and does well to hold it to two.

Oh, just short! Nips away from a good length, on off. Azan Awais is squared up while trying to block it off the back foot, but gets an outside edge. Since he plays with soft hands, the ball goes on the bounce to the second slip fielder. Tanzid collects it by diving to his right.

नाहिद राणा To अब्दुल्ला फ़ज़ल OUT!
OUT! EDGED AND CAUGHT! Fazal's resilience comes to an end and Pakistan lose their first wicket. A sensational catch by Miraz and the hosts are overjoyed. Length ball outside off, and the ball rises a touch off the surface. Fazal hangs back and tries to keep it down but loses control. The outside edge is found and the ball lobs towards Miraz at gully, who dives forward and completes the catch, scooping the ball just before the ground. It is deemed a clean catch. A fantastic effort by Miraz as the reaction time to it was very less. Pakistan are 27/1, needing 410 runs.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz, at gully, with a remarkable catch and it is confirmed that it is a clean catch.

All set for action to begin on Day 4 in Sylhet. The conditions are pretty muggy, with the sun peeking out. The two umpires walk out to the middle and the players of Bangladesh take their spots on the field as well. Both the Pakistani openers, Azan Awais and Abdullah Fazal, walk out to the crease. Taskin Ahmed has the ball in hand and there are a couple of slips and a gully in place. Awais will face. Let's play...
PITCH REPORT - Athar Ali Khan is inspecting the conditions in Sylhet. He says the surface has been good throughout and should hold up well into this final session. The big question, he notes, is whether Pakistan can create history. Says a chase of this magnitude has never been achieved at this ground, and this is the highest target Pakistan have ever been set here. On Bangladesh's bowling strategy, he points to the final two overs before the break as a masterclass in length control. Of the 12 deliveries bowled, he details, nine or ten hit the perfect good-length mark, completely shutting down the scoring options. That, he says, is brilliant Test match bowling, and exactly the discipline Bangladesh will be looking to replicate from here. Adds that for Pakistan, all eyes are on Babar Azam. He points that it has been 31 innings without a Test century for him, which means the pressure is firmly on him, yet his class is beyond question. Further adds that as he gets his eye in, he has every ability to master this surface and post a big one, much as Mushfiqur Rahim and Litton Das did earlier in the match. Adds that a chase of this magnitude demands someone to stand up and anchor the innings, someone cut from the cloth of a Younis Khan or a Mohammad Yousuf. Ends by saying whether Pakistan have that steel in them today remains to be seen.
Pakistan's star batter - Babar Azam, on the mood in the dressing room, says the feeling is good, and the focus is simply on doing their best. He acknowledges that the target is big, but two full days remain to chase it down. On the approach, he says big partnerships are the key. Adds that the openers need to lay the foundation and the batters coming in after must build on it. On his form, he says he has always been confident, and runs in the middle only add to that. He is happy with how he is batting. On the pitch, he feels it is still pretty good. Details that there is a little spin, but on the whole, it is a nice surface to bat on.
A word from the coach - Phil Simmons, the Head Coach of Bangladesh, on being asked whether on the previous day, Day 3, they were in any mood to declare innings, smiles and replies that he or his skipper had no intention to declare the innings. Adds that they had it planned that they are going to bat as much as they can. On the pitch, he calls it a really good surface, pointing to the Zimbabwe match at the same venue, where it stayed even throughout. He stresses that bowlers still have to work hard and hit the right areas because it is fundamentally a good batting wicket, and yesterday proved that batters who apply themselves can score freely here. On the dressing room mood, he says confidence is naturally high right now. Mentions that wins breed confidence, and when players are scoring hundreds, it rises even further. Says these are exactly the things the team has been working towards, and they are now starting to arrive consistently.
About the pitch - Ahead of Day 3, Mahmudul Hasan Joy had mentioned in a pre-match interview that the ball was coming nicely onto the bat during his stint, making him feel comfortable at the crease. Now, looking at Bangladesh's batting performance on Day 3 can only reinforce the assessment that there are no demons on this pitch. However, with the new ball in hand and two inexperienced young openers at the crease, the hosts possess more than enough firepower to make early inroads. Stay tuned as the fourth day begins shortly.
Patience the key for Pakistan - A fifth day is not out of the question! Why? Because once a batter gets settled on this surface, it will become increasingly difficult to dislodge them, at least the Bangladeshi batters have displayed that resilience. Pakistan will need tremendous heart, patience, and composure to mount any kind of realistic challenge. And the likes of Babar and Rizwan will have to bat their hearts out. Bangladesh, however, will arrive this morning with the scent of history in the air. With their bowlers well rested, their confidence sky high, and an entire nation watching, the Tigers will be eager to wrap things up swiftly and assert their dominance on home turf without question.
Pakistan face a mountain - Khurram Shahzad was Pakistan's standout performer with four wickets, and the visitors managed to negotiate two overs under fading light before the umpires called stumps. Azan Awais and Abdullah Fazal, the opening pair, walked off unbeaten but also without opening their account, already staring down the enormity of what lies ahead. Pakistan have a herculean task ahead, and they will have to contend with hostile spells from the pace trio of Bangladesh, as well as the relentless spin of Taijul Islam and Mehidy Hasan Miraz on a Sylhet surface that is deteriorating by the hour.
Greetings folks - Welcome to what promises to be a riveting Day 4 of the second Test. Day 3 was an absolute masterclass for Bangladesh, who were utterly dominant with the bat. The Moving Day belonged emphatically to the Tigers, headlined by Mushfiqur Rahim's magnificent 137 off 233 balls, they stretched their second-innings total to 390 and set Pakistan a mountainous target of 437 runs to win. Half-centuries from Litton Das and Mahmudul Hasan Joy further underlined Bangladesh's commanding display, as session after session slipped away from the Pakistan bowling attack that fought hard but simply could not turn the tide.
... DAY 4, SESSION 1 ...
All to play for on Day 4 - Day 3, which is generally known as the moving day in Test cricket, has flown by and at the end of it, Bangladesh are well ahead in the game. Even the two overs they bowled late in the day almost turned out to be fruitful as Taskin Ahmed and Shoriful Islam had the Pakistan openers chasing for the ball. Pakistan will be pleased to get out of Day 3 unscathed and will look to put on a sturdy batting display, and truth be told, the pitch doesn't seem to have any demons on it, and if the visitors can make the most of the first two sessions on Day 4, we could be in for a exciting run chase. Do join us on Tuesday, the 19th of May at 4 am GMT for the start of Day 4. However, you can also tune in sooner for our build-up. Cheers!
A tale of two teams - Bangladesh have had the upper hand with the ball, given their well-rounded bowling attack, but they have put on a fine display with the bat as well in their second innings. Scoring 390 runs in the third innings of the Test match, when neither of the first two innings saw a score of above 300 runs, is pretty solid. Pakistan, on the other hand, made changes to their bowling attack for this game and it hasn't quite worked out as intended. Their batting is already pretty inexperienced, and they will be hoping that at least one of their young opening batters goes on to score big in the fourth innings.
The hosts in a promising position - Bangladesh are in prime position to sweep the two-match Test series, and Pakistan have it all to do on Day 4 and maybe even on Day 5. Still, 437 runs needed for the win, and the visitors have all 10 wickets in hand. All in all, Day 3 also belonged to Bangladesh and they will be hoping to make quick inroads with the ball on Day 4.
There's a discussion going on between the two umpires. The artificial lights have been on for a bit, and now it seems like the umpires are calling the players off. Bad Light stops play and a reading is taken. Najmul Hossain Shanto was about to introduce Mehidy Hasan Miraz, the off-spinner, due to the fading light, but it has now been confirmed that it is STUMPS on DAY 3.
