Pakistan’s 1st innings was finally stopped for 232 runs in the second session of 2nd day of Sylhet Test on Sunday.
As a result, Bangladesh is leading by 46 runs. Nahid Rana took 3 wickets for 60 runs for Bangladesh, while Taijul Islam also took 3 for 67 runs.
Bangladesh made a good start to the second day of the Sylhet Test. After Taskin Ahmed's double century, Mehidy Hasan Miraz broke the partnership twice. However, Pakistan's experienced star Babar Azam was running with one end in front in the batting accident.
By completing his 31st Test half-century of his career, Babar became the third highest half-century scorer in WTC history along with Steven Smith and England's Jack Crawley. The right-handed batsman reached the joint third place in the all-time list by scoring his 20th half-century in WTC in his 39th Test. Today, Babar Azam was out for 68 runs off a Nahid Rana quickie.
Azan, who scored a century in his debut Test, was dismissed for 13 runs. After that, Babar and Pakistan captain Shan Masood played with caution. However, Miraz did not allow the pair to go beyond 38 runs. Masood (21) caught him in the hands of substitute fielder Naeem Hasan, who was at short, while playing a shot through the cover zone.
Babar and Salman Agha were trying to pull Pakistan, who lost 4 wickets for 79 runs. Babar in particular has been successful so far in his attempts to move the scoreboard with boundaries and singles.
