Bangladesh have passed the third day of the second and final Test in Rawalpindi. However, the Tigers suffered a big blow in the batting disaster at the beginning of the day. However, Liton Das' impeccable century and Mirage's fifty collected 262 runs for the red-green team. Bangladesh's first innings ended with 262 runs in response to Pakistan's 274 runs in the first innings. As a result, the hosts will bat for the second time after leading by 12 runs.
Today, Bangladesh lost the wicket of Zakir Hossain for 14 runs. What has happened since then may live long in the memory of the Shakibs. Five top order batsmen had to lose to add only 12 runs. Captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto (4) scored the second maximum of this top order after opener Saddam (10). And scores of the rest are not worth mentioning.
But on this day Liton-Miraj duo took the lead with a strong hand. The pair scored a record 165 runs for the seventh wicket. This is the biggest seventh-wicket partnership in 147 years of Test history after the sixth wicket fell short of 50 runs. Mirage scored 78 runs off 124 balls and the pair broke when he returned to Sajghar.
Then Hasan Mahmud started spinning the wheels of Liton Run. In the meantime, Lytton took the fourth Test century of his career. But when Agha hit Salman over long-on, the bat-ball was not right and it went to Siam Ayyub. Liton scored 138 runs off 228 balls with 13 boundaries and four sixes.
After playing 51 balls, Hasan Mahmud remained unbeaten on 13 runs, but Taskin, Nahid could not add any runs. Bangladesh's innings ended at 262 runs. Shantara trailed by 12 runs.
Khurram Shehzad created terror among the Pakistani bowlers on this day. Took six wickets. Besides, Mir Hamza and Agha Salman took two each.
