PAK beat BAN by an innings and 44 runs | Pakistan vs Bangladesh, Highlights And Cricket Score 1st Test Match - Commentary

We are all set to begin. The two Pakistan openers, Shan Masood and Abid Ali walk out to the middle. So do the Bangladesh players as they disperse to take their respective fielding positions. Ebadot Hossain will start the proceedings for Day 2.

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of the 1st Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh. On Day 1 Bangladesh folded up for 233 and Pakistan did not come out to bat due to bad light. Today they will start their innings and would look to occupy the crease for as long as possible along with taking a sizeable lead. Stay tuned for the action.

... Day 2, Session 1 ...

Abid Ali is shadow practicing his drives just outside the boundary. He will be looking to bed in on Saturday while Pakistan will hope to bat for 2 days at least and get a sizeable lead. Join us on Saturday, 8th February, 2020 at 10 am local (0500 GMT) for all the action from Day 2. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!

The heavy roller is being rolled on and the umpires are checking the light meter. 5 overs to go (2 cut off for change of innings) but will we get those? The answer is NO. Nigel Llong and Chris Gaffaney are not happy with the light and have shut the shop. Off go the Bangladesh players (Pakistan batsmen did not arrive at all) and that will be STUMPS ON DAY 1.

Positives for Bangladesh? Many. With one common complaint - get in, but then, instead of bedding, throw your wickets away. Only Mohammad Mithun fought till the end and was consumed by a beautiful ball from Naseem. Though, he still believes that he was not out.

Shaheen Afridi was the pick of the bowlers, by far and large. He struck on the very third ball and then went on to take 3 more, as he ripped through the middle order. They were not necessarily good balls but the ones before those led to those dismissals. Mohammad Abbas was economical and accurate while Naseem Shah was just raw pace, without much direction or luck. Yasir Shah was not at his best at all while Haris Sohail was a surprise pick with 2 scalps.

A perfect bowling performance by Pakistan. They opted to bowl on a greenish track and picked up 2 wickets in the first 10 balls. They got a couple of fightbacks along the way but thanks to Bangladesh's heart-warming gesture of throwing their wickets away, the hosts get a chance to bat tonight (which, don't think they will be too happy about).

There it is then! 233 is what Bangladesh have managed to put on the board. After losing 2 inside 2 overs, they would happily take this total. This is Stumps time but because 7 overs are left in the day, play continues.

Shaheen Afridi to Abu Jayed. OUT! RUN OUT! Comical way to end the innings. Abu Jayed's bat got stuck in the ground and BANGLADESH ARE ALL OUT FOR 233. Full delivery on middle. Jayed flicks it to mid on and takes off for a single. Ebadot Hossain is not interested as he sends Jayed back. Abbas picks up the ball and then has a shy at the keeper's end. He hits and the Pakistan players are confident that Abu is out of his crease. The third umpire is called and the replays show that Jayed's bat got stuck in the ground just before he entered the crease. Out is the signal on the big screen and the players make their way off the field.

Are Bangladesh all out? There is an appeal for run out and it has been taken upstairs. The replays roll in and they show that Jayed's bat got stuck in the ground.

This is an excellent ball from Naseem Shah. Good length ball on middle, Mithun looks to defend but it seems to have gone off the bat to the keeper. The Pakistan players appeal but Nigel Llong tells them to wait and he asks the square leg umpire whether it is a clean catch. After a delay, Llong declares it not out. Azhar Ali, the Pakistan skipper is not happy and he opts for the review. The Ultra Edge rolls in and it shows that it has gone off the gloves to the keeper. Excellent review from Pakistan. They are ecstatic and they have every right to be.

We are back for the final session of Day 1. The Pakistan players are in a huddle before making their way out to the middle. They are followed by Mohammad Mithun and Taijul Islam. It seems that it has gotten cooler with the umpires walking out wearing sweaters. Shaheen Afridi will start the proceedings with two slips and a gully in place.

... Day 1, Session 3 ...

Another session left in the day! Pakistan would like to bundle the visitors as quickly as they can while Bangladesh would love to come out to bat in the first session of Day 2. Will we witness that or will we witness Pakistan bat in the coming session? Be back for the final session in a while.

Another excellent session for Pakistan. Just 77 runs in 30 overs and 3 big wickets. The session started with Abbas striking in the first over itself. Mahmudullah soon followed him and it looked like Pakistan might roll them over in this session itself. However, a 54-run stand between Liton Das and Mohammad Mithun saw the visitors bail themselves out from a tricky situation. However, as the stand was set to look threatening, Azhar Ali got Haris Sohail into the attack who broke the stand. Mohammad Mithun and Taijul Islam are still battling out in the middle and would look to add as many as they can to the board when they come out to bat.

Haris Sohail to Liton Das. OUT! LBW! What a masterful review from Pakistan. Nigel Llong has to reverse his decision once again. That never looked to be happening to the naked eye but the partnership-breaker has struck. A full ball down leg, Das goes for the sweep but fails to connect. He gets hit on the pads and the Pakistani players make an appeal. The umpire shows no interest. Rizwan, Pakistan skipper Azhar Ali and the bowler get together and after a quick chat, they take the decision upstairs. Time for the replay. Front foot is fine and there is no bat involvement which is confirmed by the Ultra Edge. Now, time for the Ball Tracker, pitched in line and hitting the leg pole, which means three reds it is. Das has to go.

Given not out, Pakistan take the decision upstairs. That looked to be going down the leg side. Let's see what the replays show. Well, that is pitching in line and it is hitting the stumps. Wow! We all thought that it pitched outside leg but that's not the case.

The players are back for the second session. Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mahmudullah, the two batters walk out to the middle. The Pakistani players are already out in the middle. Mohammad Abbas to start the proceedings in this session. 2 slips and a gully in place. Here we go...

... Day 1, Session 2 ...

We have an hour's break now. How can Pakistan pick wickets in the second session? By the looks of it, Azhar Ali's decision to field first seems to be more because of the pitch getting better to bat second, rather than wanting to exploit the greenery on the deck. Join us back at 1.30 pm local (0830 GMT).

29 overs of pace and 4 overs of spin in that opening session. Pakistan were on top for the first 30 minutes of a 150-minute session. But the next 120 have belonged to the visitors, in spite of losing a wicket. Afridi has been excellent, Abbas has been accurate while Naseem has given it his all, vying for raw pace but the line has been off the radar. No turn so far for Yasir.

Azhar Ali kept ringing in the bowling changes but Mominul and Shanto kept firm, not throwing their wickets away until Afridi removed the skipper, setting him beautifully. Since then, Mahmudullah has forged a decent stand with Najmul.

Azhar Ali's bowlers struck the perfect chord when given the opportunity to make the first use of a green deck. Debutant Saif and the experienced Tamim were nipped out early, in 10 balls and Bangladesh had their backs to the wall. But then, Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mominul Haque played perfect Test cricket after that. Started leaving a few balls, had some plays and misses, played a few shots, got some streaky boundaries but crucially, they did not get out.

Have to give it to Bangladesh. Yes, you choose to bowl and take three wickets in the first session - sure you would be happy. But to have a side reeling 2 down in the span of 10 balls and then to take only 1 more in the next 188, means that there is not much support for the bowlers.

Shaheen Afridi to Mominul Haque. OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! See, this is what happens if you keep Free Hit in one format after a no ball and not in another. Not justifying Mominul, but could that thought have come in his mind? Or did we just jinx him? Do not check 21.2 if you feel we did not jinx him. Full and outside off, Haque looks to drive but does not go too far forward. All he manages is a thick outside edge, which is snapped by the keeper Rizwan. Normally, the captain would have left it alone. But he went after this one. Could it just be, could it just be, could it just be - that he felt that this one was a Free Hit? Just asking... The 59-run stand is broken.

DRINKS BREAK. Well, if you are wondering, why has the break been taken after 80 minutes. This is a Friday, so we will be having an extended opening session. So, Lunch, which is normally taken at noon local, will be taken at 12.30 pm. Then, there will be an hour's gap for Lunch, due to the Friday Namaaz (prayers). Bangladesh have done well to recover after the early blows. Losing two wickets in the first 10 balls and not losing any for the next hour is a great achievement.

Naseem Shah to Mominul Haque. IN THE AIR... OVER GULLY! FOUR! The first boundary of the day and game comes in a fortuitous manner. A length ball, outside off, Mominul is not watching the ball and is looking to duck. But the ball suddenly comes in and he realizes that it is coming at his face. He now tries to just push the ball away meekly and it flies off the face of his bat, over a leaping gully to the third man fence.

Mohammad Abbas to Najmul Hossain Shanto. Good fielding by Yasir. Full and outside off, a touch wide, Shanto leans and drives this away from his body between gully and backward point. Yasir Shah gives it a chase from backward point and just when the ball is about to touch the ropes, he dives and stops it. Dangerous. But saves a run for his side. Three taken.

In comes the captain. Mominul Haque walks in at number 4, replacing Tamim.

Mohammad Abbas to Tamim Iqbal. OUT! LBW! That always looked plumb and the decision is reversed. Just the start Pakistan wanted. Two wickets with the new ball. And we do not have even 2 overs completed. A length ball, in line of the stumps, Tamim, by virtue of habit, looks to flick but falls over in the process as he misses the shot. Normally, Abbas is very straight and you cannot miss the ball when he is bowling. But Tamim does. He is hit right in front of the stumps and Abbas appeals, putting in an extended one too. But umpire Nigel Llong just asks him to calm down. There is a lot of chirp amongst the Pakistan fielders and Llong is telling them that there is not enough time left for the review counter to close. And just when it is about to get timed out, Azhar Ali signals for the 'T'. No inside edge as per Ultra Edge. The bat was nowhere close to the ball. Now, the pitching. In line of the leg stump and then straightening to hit the pads. Crashing into off stump. The decision is reversed and the Prince of Chittagong has to depart. What a blow to Bangladesh.

A huge LBW shout! Not given by umpire Nigel Llong and at the very last moment, Azhar signals for the review. No inside edge as per Ultra Edge. What will Ball Tracker say? Three reds and Tamim will have to go!

Mohammad Abbas to Tamim Iqbal. Beaten comprehensively. A length ball, around off, Iqbal walks into the shot, looks to flick but is nowhere near the pitch of the ball. Misses all ends up.

Mohammad Abbas to Tamim Iqbal. A length ball, outside off, left alone.

Shaheen Afridi to Najmul Hossain Shanto. Around middle, worked straight to short mid-wicket. An interesting opening over. Could have had two wickets.

Shaheen Afridi to Najmul Hossain Shanto. Outside off, on a length, a play and a miss.

Shaheen Afridi to Najmul Hossain Shanto. Ooohhh... interesting. A length ball, around middle, Najmul works it through the leg side and sets off, due to pure momentum. But the man at short leg reacts quickly and fires a throw at the striker's end. Misses. Najmul would have been gone!

Najmul Hossain Shanto walks in at number 3, replacing Saif.

Shaheen Afridi to Saif Hassan. OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! 3 balls. That is all it has taken for Pakistan to strike. Full and wide outside off, the debutant Saif cannot resist himself from having a feel for it. Goes for the drive and all he manages is a thick outside edge. It goes towards the packed slip cordon where Asad Shafiq gets across from second slip and takes it to his left. Nothing special about that delivery. Just the tentativeness in Hassan's mind to get his first Test runs. Poor lad. There will be criticism about his lack of feet movement and all but only he will be able to tell that he felt it was a loose ball and he did not want to let a scoring opportunity go by.

Shaheen Afridi to Saif Hassan. Landed outside off, on a length, Saif shoulders arms.

Shaheen Afridi to Tamim Iqbal. A length ball around middle,tucked through mid-wicket for a comfortable three. Some way to start off a Test inning...

A wonderful gesture from Azhar Ali. He walks across to Saif Hassan, who is opening alongside Tamim Iqbal and wishes him good luck. That is really, really good to see. Time for the game to begin. The man with a smiling face, Shaheen Afridi, to start off proceedings for the game. The Prince of Chittagong to face, with three slips in place. Here we go...

The players are slowly coming out from the dressing room. In fact a ceremony is taking place. SAIF HASSAN IS BEING HANDED HIS TEST CAP. Now, the opening batsmen come out to the middle, following the Pakistan players.

Pakistan (Playing XI) - Shan Masood, Abid Ali, Azhar Ali(C), Babar Azam, Haris Sohail, Asad Shafiq, Mohammad Rizwan(WK), Yasir Shah, Mohammad Abbas, Naseem Shah and Shaheen Afridi.

Bangladesh (Playing XI) - Tamim Iqbal, Saif Hassan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mominul Haque(C), Mohammad Mithun, Mahmudullah, Liton Das(WK), Taijul Islam, Rubel Hossain, Abu Jayed and Ebadot Hossain.

TOSS - The flip of the coin has gone Azhar Ali's way. PAKISTAN ELECT TO FIELD. Interesting choice. Don't really see teams choose to field in Asia, unless they expect the wicket to seam around for at least the first day.

Test cricket continues in Pakistan! Hmmm... a big thing in itself. So what if teams are still skeptical to play here. So what if boards are not sending their best playing XVs. We still have a contest. After a one-sided encounter in the T20I format, we now get ready for a bizarre Test series, where, the first Test begins today but the second is scheduled in the month of April, that is 2 months later! And in between the two Tests, there will be an ODI played too. Unthinkable and not quite understandable. Anyway, hello and a warm welcome to the first Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh in Rawalpindi.

Welcome back for Bangladesh's reply. As Tamim Iqbal and Saif Hassan start their innings and Shaheen Afridi to start with the ball.

On the other hand, Bangladesh bowlers toiled hard and were superb this morning. All the pacers of Bangladesh were into the wickets. As Abu Jayed, Rubel Hossain and Ebadot Hossain bowled their heart out. Taijul Islam did well to contain the runs and built pressure at one end thus helping the pacers to reap rewards. Jayed and Rubel both ended with a 3-wicket haul and Taijul and Ebadot both getting 2 and 1 wickets respectively.

Pakistan would be happy here that they have managed a lead of over 200 runs. For putting Pakistan in this position, the applause should go to Shan Masood who upfront played a responsible innings and was involved in partnerships with skipper Azhar Ali and then with Babar Azam. Though he departed soon after his ton but then Asad Shafiq and Babar Azam joined forces and stitched a 137-run stand. But since their dismissal, it was a downward slide for the hosts. If not for Haris Sohail's 75, they would have ended on a much lower score.

Rubel Hossain to Naseem Shah. OUT! RUN OUT! Naseem Shah is the man there. With this, Pakistan innings comes to an end. Short ball on off, Naseem defends it to point off the back foot. He is a bit lazy in getting behind the line as Saif Hassan there spots it and scores a direct hit at the striker's end. It is referred upstairs and what we see is Naseem was lazy in getting his foot down in time and is caught short there. PAKISTAN ALL OUT FOR 445! LEAD BY 212!

Rubel Hossain to Shaheen Afridi. OUT! LBW! Umpire's call and Shaheen Afridi takes a long walk back. Bangladesh continue their merry work from the first session. Hossain is the one who gets a wicket now. He bowls one on a good length around off, the ball comes a long way with the angle into the batter. Afridi looks to defend it off the back foot but gets hit on the pads. The bowler appeals for lbw and the umpire raises his finger. Shaheen straightaway takes the review.

... Day 3, Session 2 ...

Bangladesh will the happier side of the two as the players head for Lunch. The opening bowlers were spot on from the word go. As Ebadot Hossain and Abu Jayed both wrecked havoc in the Pakistan camp. Hossain especially was spot on. He troubled the Pakistan batsmen with his lines and lengths. Jayed got rid of Babar Azam early in the day. Hossain then bowled a delivery that came back in to dismiss Asad Shafiq. Since then the Pakistan innings seems to have fallen apart as Mohammad Rizwan failed to occupy the crease by playing an unnecessary shot. Despite losing 4 wickets in the session, Pakistan are in a strong position as they lead by 187 runs and have Haris Sohail their last recognized batsman out in the middle. He has also reached his fifty and would look for the support of the tail to extend Pakistan's domination. Whereas, Bangladesh would look to wipe out the tail as quickly as possible. Do join us for the post Lunch session in about 40 minutes.

Still, Rizwan goes through with it and gets it high and towards fine leg. Mahmudullah there runs forward and takes the catch. Pakistan losing the plot here.

DRINKS! A good start to the day for Bangladesh. They would be happy with their efforts. Their opening bowlers bowled with venom as they kept things tight and made life difficult for the Pakistan batsmen. Babar Azam and Asad Shafiq both departed to the pavilion and with two new batsmen in the middle for the hosts, Bangladesh would look to wrap up the innings as soon as possible.

Ebadot Hossain to Asad Shafiq. OUT! CAUGHT! Bangladesh's love affair with the morning session continues. They have managed to see the back of both the overnight batsmen in quick time. It seems that they are bowling with a plan here. They have kept it tight and have not given any loose balls. Hossain bowls one on a length and outside off, the ball comes slightly in off the surface. Shafiq looks to run it fine down to third man but he only manages to get a faint inside edge and the ball goes to the left of the keeper where Liton Das moves to that side and takes it.

Sohail misjudges it as he shoulders arms to it. The ball goes past the off stump and into the mitts of the keeper. The bowler and his teammates appeal but the umpire shakes his head. Mominul Haque ponders over taking a review but then decides against it. Ball Tracker later shows that the ball clipped the front pad in front of off stump before going towards the keeper. Further, it shows to be clipping the off pole. As Haris Sohail was not playing any stroke to it he would have taken the long walk back had the umpire given it as out.

Abu Jayed to Babar Azam. OUT! CAUGHT! Like Day 2, Abu Jayed strikes in his first over of Day 3 too. It is Pakistan's heartthrob, Babar Azam who takes the long walk back. Jayed bowls one full and the ball seams away off the surface. Babar gets sucked into the shot. He goes to follow it as he was confused as to play at it or leave it and in the process he could only get a thick outside edge that flies towards the slips. Mohammad Mithun at first slip was waiting for it and when it came he just gobbles it up with ease. A good knock from Azam comes to an end and also the 137-run stand is broken.

Abu Jayed to bowl from the other end.

Ebadot Hossain to Asad Shafiq. Starts with a length ball on off, Shafiq taps it to point and looks for a run but he is sent back by his partner.

We are all set to begin. Babar Azam and Asad Shafiq will resume from where they left on Day 2. The Bangladesh players are out in the middle and they would hope they give a better performance than what they gave on the other day. They would be hoping to strike early and get a foot on this game. Ebadot Hossain will complete his unfinished over on Day 3.

Since the start of this match Pakistan have been the happier side. Pakistan have a lead of 109 runs and will look to build on it. When they came to bat on Day 2, they failed to get a stable opening stand but they were lucky as their three of the top five batsmen managed to get to half tons. Shan Masood and Babar Azam were the stars on Day 2 as they both notched up their tons. Asad Shafiq will also look to get to his Test ton. Babar Azam is still out there and Pakistan would hope that he guides Pakistan to a massive first innings lead. Bangladesh were poor with their bowling effort and were seen short of ideas as the Pakistan batsmen kept on milking the runs. Only two of their bowlers out of the five they used could get into the wickets column. They would hope to improve on that. Hello and welcome to Day 3. Who will have the say today? Will Pakistan continue their merry way or will Bangladesh stage a comeback?

... Day 3, Session 1 ...

If Bangladesh are to make a comeback in this Test then there is only one way and that is they need to pick wickets early on Day 3 and in a heap or else they could find themselves going on a leather hunt. Day 3 is also known as the moving day in a Test match. That will decide who has the advantage. Do join us for the coverage of Day 3 at 1000 local (0500 GMT). Till then cheers and take care!

Barring the first hour of the day, Bangladesh's bowling was toothless and was seen wanting for ideas. They tried everything they could but failed to strike at regular intervals. Talking about their bowlers Abu Jayed and Taijul Islam worked the most in the field. The latter though bowled the maximum. He though returned with just a lone wicket of the centurion Shan Masood. The other bowler to enter the wickets column was Abu Jayed who scalped a couple of wickets. All in all a tiring long day in the field for the visitors.

Earlier in the day, Pakistan started their reply for Bangladesh's 233 but failed to get a dream start as Abu Jayed struck in his very first to remove Abid Ali for a duck. Then came the stand between Shan Masood and Azhar Ali which revived Pakistan's innings. Just when it looked that Pakistan are cruising, Azhar Ali lost his wicket at the stroke of Lunch. But that did not affect the home team as it continued to score runs. Masood soon departed after his 3rd Test ton but Babar continued his good work after being let off the hook early on in his innings. Babar reached his 5th Test ton and him along with Asad Shafiq ensured that there is no further casualty and the duo batted out to see off the day.

A brilliant session from Pakistan's point of view. They managed to score 136 runs in 32.5 overs without losing a wicket. It all started with Babar Azam continuing from where he left before the Tea interval. Soon Asad Shafiq too joined the party as the duo started to milk runs at will. In the process, Babar reached his 5th Test ton and Shafiq too reached his 27th Test half-ton. They both added 137 runs for the 4th wicket and strengthened Pakistan's position and grip on the match as from trail they went into the lead. Currently, Pakistan lead by 109 and have 7 wickets in hand. On the other hand, Bangladesh bowlers were clueless and their attack looked toothless too. They tried everything from short stuff to full deliveries but nothing worked for them. In the end, with tiring bowlers, they just hoped for the batsmen to commit some errors but they never came.

IT'S STUMPS! A good day for Pakistan with the bat and a long day in the field for Bangladesh.

Now, Chris Gaffaney from square leg brings the light meter out. And, the light is not good, he says. So, the players walk off. 13 balls remaining. That should be STUMPS!

We are back for the final session of Day 2. Also known as the happening session in a Test match. Pakistan batsmen Babar Azam and Asad Shafiq walk out to resume their innings. Bangladesh players are out too. Taijul Islam will start the proceedings for the final session of Day 2.

... Day 2, Session 3 ...

The session started with Pakistan coming out all guns blazing. They counter-attacked the Bangladesh bowlers and clobbered them all around the park. Babar Azam was lucky early on as Ebadot Hossain dropped him when he was on 2. But since then it has been the Babar-Masood show. The duo added 112 for the 3rd wicket and almost ate up the deficit. Just when it looked that Bangladesh are going low on confidence, Taijul Islam bowled a beauty to dismiss Shan Masood. With Babar at the crease and Shafiq for his company, Bangladesh would look to capitalise on this opening. Join us for the final session at 1500 local (1000 GMT).

Another session which has all the aspects of typical Test match cricket. Pakistan are clear winners of this session as they managed to score 111 in the 28 overs bowled and just losing Shan Masood at the stroke of Tea. Pakistan still trail by 27 runs.

We are back for the second session. The Bangladesh players are out in the middle. Shan Masood and Babar Azam will resume their innings for the hosts. Babar Azam is yet to open his account and he has already faced 14 balls. Taijul Islam will start the proceedings for the second session.

... Day 2, Session 2 ...

Talking of Pakistan's batting, it did not start on the right note for the hosts as they lost their new batting sensation Abid Ali for a duck. But skipper, Azhar Ali and opener Shan Masood steadied the ship with a 91-run stand. Masood also reached his 7th Test fifty in the process. Just when it looked that Pakistan were starting to take the upper hand in the game, Abu Jayed struck for the second time to send the Pakistan skipper back into the hut. Trailing by 138 runs with Babar Azam and Shan Masood still out there it should be easy for the hosts to wipe out the deficit. Will Bangladesh continue their good work from the first session? Or Will Pakistan come back strongly? Do join us for the afternoon session at 1240 local (0740 GMT).

A good session for Bangladesh as they managed to send Abid Ali in the first over of the Pakistan innings, who was on fire after making his debut against Sri Lanka earlier in January. They kept it tight and did not allow the Pakistan batters to overpower them. The pacers initially used the conditions to good effect as they tested the batsmen with everything they had in their armoury.

So, an engrossing session of Test cricket witnessed between Pakistan and Bangladesh. 95 runs were scored in this session but two important wickets were lost by Pakistan in the process.
