Hasan Mahmud achieved a first for Bangladeshi pacers in a Test match in Pakistan with his five-for. Furthermore, it was the first time for the Bangla Tigers in the red-ball format that fast bowlers had taken all ten of the opposition’s wickets in a single innings.

With a narrow advantage of just 21 runs going into Day 4, Pakistan had their work cut out for them. As the hosts looked to maintain the momentum, Saim Ayub and Shan Masood struck four boundaries between them in the first four overs of the day, setting a good early pace for the day.

After a few quiet overs, Najmul Hossain Shanto, who was positioned in the wide mid-off region, made a brilliant grab that claimed Ayub, giving up the first wicket. Masood (28 off 34 balls) was under strain and ultimately played a poor shot to give up his wicket just four overs later.

In the nineteenth over, Mohammad Rizwan got an edge, which the fielder dropped at first slip, causing a tense moment. As the ball, however, moved towards the ropes, Pakistan was able to extend their lead. The most crucial incident for Bangladesh, however, was what transpired prior to the previously listed events: Babar Azam’s wicket.

Nahid Rana skidded away to the boundary rope in a fit of fervour, and Babar had another poor performance as he edged one to the first slip. A 55-run partnership between Salman Agha and Rizwan brought some calm to the chaos, but Hasan Mahmud’s two wickets negated all of the hard work that had been done up to that point. Just seconds later, Nahid Rana scored in a manner reminiscent of Mahmud’s.

It was all up to Salman Agha, who had taken the bulk of the strike in the first innings, to take it upon himself with just one wicket left. Agha hit four fours and a maximum when he inside-edged a delivery that went to the slips to give.

Hasan Mahmud his first five-wicket haul in Test cricket, but he was unable to add any more runs to the otherwise dismal Pakistani batting performance or reach his ninth fifty-run score.

One would have anticipated a cautious approach from the visitors given the cloudy and overcast weather and more than a day remaining to pursue the 185-run objective. But Zakir Hasan’s intentions were very evident in the six overs that remained before Tea was taken, so this was anything but the template indicated above.

The third session saw play stopped by poor light, and then called off owing to a consistent sequence of precipitation, leaving only one over possible. Bangladesh was clearly aiming for the kill, and as such, they would naturally be the more irate of the two teams.
