Watch Highlights: Pakistan vs Bangladesh, Day 3, Rawalpindi

Bangladesh looked down and out at 26/6 in the first hour of day three of the second and final Test against Pakistan on September 1 (Sunday), but that’s when Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz stood up and brought their team right back into the game. 

Khurram Shahzad and Mir Hamza wreaked havoc with the new ball, taking six wickets inside 12 overs. However, Litton and Mehidy put on 165 runs for the seventh wicket and made sure Pakistan didn’t run away with the game.

Mehidy (78) became Khurram’s fifth victim, with the paceman eventually finishing with career-best figures of 6/90. But Litton carried on and brought up his fourth ton. The wicketkeeper-batter got out to Agha Salman after scoring 138. 

Bangladesh were bowled out for 262, giving Pakistan a first-innings lead of just 12 runs. If that wasn’t enough, Hasan Mahmud dismissed Abdullah Shafique and nightwatchman Khurram late on day three, reducing Pakistan to 9/2. 

The Men in Green lead by 21 runs and have eight wickets remaining.
