BAN Vs PAK LIVE Score, 1st Test Day 3: Pakistan Lose Masood, Shakeel In Quick Succession As Hosts Strike In Dhaka

Out of no where, Bangladesh have tightened the screws on Pakistan. Shan Masood earlier and then Saud Shakeel. The visitors have lost back-to-back wickets and it's the hosts that are in the driving seat. A couple more before lunch and they will have gained an upper-hand.

PAK: 229-4 (62 Overs)

Azan Awais finally gets to his maiden century but the PAK batter did not last long at the crease as he was dismissed on 103 by Taskin Ahmed. Bangladesh need more wickets if they are to stop the visitors in their tracks. Still long way off but a big partnership could be vital for PAK.

PAK: 211-2 (55 Overs)

Azan Awais is nearing his maiden ton against Bangladesh on day 3 of the 1st Test. The batter is batting on 95 not out on a placid pitch that isn't offering much assistance to the bowlers. If Awais bats through till lunch, PAK will have gained an upper-hand in the match.

PAK: 192-1 (50 Overs)

PAK batters Abdullah Fazal and Azan Awais are at the crease to face the opening over. BAN bowler Nahid Rana has the ball in hand as we set to start with day 3 action in Dhaka.
