Bangladesh concludes second day of second Test with 107-5
46
DHAKA: Bangladesh concluded the second day of the second Test match against Pakistan after losing early wickets with a score of 107-5.
Junaid Khan grabbed two wickets while Wahab Riaz and leg-spinner Yasir Shah bagged one wicket each.
Earlier, Azhar Ali hit a maiden double-century as Pakistan declared its innings at 557 for eight by tea on the second day of the second and final Test against Bangladesh in Dhaka on Thursday.
Azhar scored a career-best 226 and Asad Shafiq made 107 during a fifth-wicket stand of 207 before Pakistan lost four wickets in the space of 27 runs just before tea.
Off-spinner Shuvagata Hom removed Azhar and Shafiq in successive overs, both batsmen falling to catches on the long-off fence by Mohammad Mahmudullah.
Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam dismissed Wahab Riaz and also sent back Yasir Shah off the last ball before tea to leave Sarfraz Ahmed unbeaten on 21.
Pakistan lost skipper Misbah-ul Haq in the day's second over, bowled by Shakib Al Hasan for nine, before a run had been added to the overnight score of 323 for three.
Younis Khan had made 148 on the first day after Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim won the toss and elected to field at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium.
The first Test ended in a draw in Khulna last week.

@Enamul Kabir, Dhaka my dear....its premature to judge the result now because the wicket is not helping bowlers at all...
This match won't draw..it is just second day...BD needs to bat on next 2-3 days to save this match.(the current RR is 4.2....get little over optimistic and say they will bat tomorrow full day with the RR of 5, which is highly unlikely ...4 for 85 in 20 overs now, STILL they will just clear the first inning score 85+450)...otherwise its victory for Pakistan...
No offense to BD fans....but match is highly skewed towards Pakistan now...

Yasir has bowled a fantastic spell. Pakistan needs to get Bangladesh under 200 and instead of follow on, need to bat again. Let them bat last on this pitch.

Pakistan is demolishing the so-called batting line up in a correct way this time.I was expecting the same result 107-5 after two balls bowled in the very first over by Junaid khan.Tamim Iqbal overwhelmed Pakistani bowlers through out the series just because Pakistani bowlers were not in rythm.I am confident about Pakistan's victory in this match...

if bd can draw this match from here that would be a miracle but bad days of Bangladesh started from here this match loss and then India will beat them 3-0 in one day and 1-0 in test and Pakistan on the other hand will beat Zimbabwe at home which will make Pakistan qualify for ICC TROPHY

It is clear that PK is going to win the final test and the series of two tests. There will be nothong to take pride in. The win would not heal the major wound of PK team. They have many things to work over.

@Rubel No one is over confident but there is a reason that we are 32-4 in ODIs and 8-0 vs you. Let the better team win or draw but at the lowest level of Pakistan cricket, no home cricket in years, we are still pretty good.

Infact Bangladesh skipper misread the pitch condition and decided to field after winning the toss. It was a blessing in the disguise and Pakistani batsmen took full advantage of that
by hammering BangladeshI bowling in piling
up a huge total of 557 runs. It looks the wicket
has started playing tricks and it will be very difficult for Bangladesh to save this test match.
Well played Azhar, Younus and Asad. HOW NICE
IT IS TO SEE AZHAR AND ASAD BATTING WITH CONFIDENCE AND CONSISTENCY. Good Luck Green Shirts.

I am a Bangladeshi. However, I support Pakistan since my childhood. I was very excited when there was any match of Pakistan against any team. Imran, Wasim, Qader, miandad, Inzamam, saeed anwar .............so many names , they were my hero. Still i am looking for the glories past of Pakistan in YouTube and reminiscence those days .
Now my country is playing cricket, they are playing good, I am very happy. But I don't know when Pakistan defeats any match against any team, melancholy shadowed over my mind. Long live Bangladesh. Stay well Pakistan.

I must be honest and judicious in my comments. Pakistan had posted 557 @ 3.66 runs per over in its 1st innings which is a big score and it is quite but natural that Bangladesh was under great pressure to reply to it and it lost its wickets at regular intervals making it still the more difficult to face the daunting task and it could net only 203 runs but @4.27 runs per minute proves that they batted fearlessly and did not opt for Tuk Tuk which is our specialty in any case. Hafeez has been caught by wicket keeper Mushfiq and bowled by Shahid in both innings scoring 8 and 0 respectively is at risk losing his place because as bowler he got just 1 wicket.
