BAN Vs PAK Live Score, 1st Test Day 2: Mushfiqur Brings Up Fighting Fifty For Bangladesh In Mirpur | BAN 348/5 (99.3)

Big breakthrough for Pakistan just when Bangladesh were beginning to settle! Litton Das throws his wicket away after looking so fluent out in the middle. Mohammad Abbas drags the length back outside off and the ball climbs a touch more than expected.

Litton goes for an ambitious flat-batted hit down the ground, but the timing completely deserts him. The ball loops tamely towards mid-on where substitute fielder Amad Butt moves across calmly and takes a simple catch.

A disappointing end to a promising knock from Litton, who walks back for 33 off 67. Drinks are taken immediately after the wicket as Pakistan finally get the breakthrough they desperately wanted.

Mushfiqur Rahim is looking in sublime touch this morning! Shaheen Afridi overpitches just a fraction on off and the veteran makes him pay instantly. A gorgeous full-faced drive follows as Mushfiqur leans forward gracefully and creams it straight past mid-off for four. Pure timing, pure class from the Bangladesh batter.

Mohammad Abbas keeps it tight with a back-of-a-length delivery outside off, but Litton Das stays busy at the crease. He opens the face slightly and glides it neatly past backward point to pick up a single.

Mushfiqur Rahim brings up a brilliant half-century for Bangladesh! Shaheen Afridi digs it in short on the pads and the veteran calmly hops across, nudging it away towards square leg for a single.

Up goes the bat, the Mirpur crowd rises in applause, and Mushfiqur takes a quiet moment to soak it all in. Another composed knock from the experienced campaigner.

Shaheen Afridi is getting punished here. Three boundaries in a row now and Litton Das is looking in complete control this morning. Shaheen bangs it in on a back of a length outside off, the ball climbs awkwardly, but Litton adjusts beautifully.

He opens the bat face at the last second and expertly steers it wide of gully to the fence. Classy batting under pressure from the Bangladesh batter.

Hasan Ali begins with a probing delivery outside off, pitching it up and getting just a hint of movement away. Mushfiqur Rahim leans forward carefully and guides it gently towards point. A watchful start to the morning, no run.

Day 2 is up and running in Mirpur! The sun is out, the crowd is slowly finding its voice, and the players are back in the middle for another big day of Test cricket.

Pakistan gather in a huddle before taking their positions, while Bangladesh walk out with plenty of confidence after yesterday’s strong showing. Hasan Ali has the ball in hand and will get us going this morning. All eyes now on the overnight pair, Litton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim, as Bangladesh look to pile on the pressure. Here we go!

Dhaka is expected to stay hot and largely sunny for the Test, with temperatures ranging between 27°C and 34°C. Humidity will hover around 49%, and while conditions should mostly remain dry, there is still a 35% chance of rain that could bring brief interruptions. Light winds at around 6 km/h may offer some relief, but overall it remains a challenging, humid day for players in the middle.
