Shakib and Nafees put on great partnership to frustrate the Pakistani bowlers on day 1. Nafees got out on 97 a couple of overs before stumps but Shakib is still out there with the captain.

The Pakistani bowlers will be looking for early wickets.
 
When does it start? Skysports are due to start at 3.25am.. Cricinfo says early start :(
 
Probably another shortened day. We will need to bat at higher runrate if we want to win this one.
 
Seems like we're in for a bit of a waiting period. Umpires don't think there is sufficient light to start play.
 
BD will have first innings lead. Anybody agree?

I don't think so, because the early movement will be there again (hopefully) - it would be helpful to get through the first 14 overs quickly so that we can take the new ball and exploit whatever assistance is available on the track because of the moisture.

However, if Shakib and Mushfiqur survive the first hour or so then we're in for a long day. Else I think Bangladesh could very easily be 270 all out

I think, if BD score 350+, they may have 1st innings lead.
 
Is this sudden performance resurgance by 2 bangla batsmen due to Pakistani bowling or another gifting of performance to Bangladesh for 2012 tour and ICC presidence ALA Akram against Bangla in 1999 WC and Nasir Husseins century in ODI (you don't become ICC president as a non-test playing nation) which bangla are/were heading for

No offence but this was an enormously silly comment

The Bangladesh players have always been talented (I mean the likes of Shakib, Rahim, Riyad, Shahriar), good to see em finally putting up a fight MashaAllah.

right...look at the game scenario.
 
What were you expecting? 100 all out for two Tests running?

Shahriar is probably the most assured batsman in the bangladesh side, he's in the past done well against very good attacks like Australia in 2006 and it's not surprising that he did well against a fairly good Pakistan attack. And Shakib is quite easily the side's best player, while Rahim is a gritty character. Nothing surprising at all about this resurgence, in any case 260 for 5 isn't exactly giving it away on a platter. It's simply one of the rare occasions when Bangladesh have dug in rather than lain down and surrender

Bangla needs at least another 150 runs to produce even the slightest pressure against Pakistan.

more or less. the batsmen are the same, the bowlers got suddenly worse after lunch and beyond. not one but all of them

The ball was nipping around during both mornings, the batsmen did better when the sun came out (after lunch). Also the field was very close in so there was always a chance for Bangladesh to free their arms which Shakib did yesterday. And to be fair Ajmal and Abdur Rehman have bowled decently

It's like saying that Pakistan being all out for 200 in a game means they will be all out for the saem score everytime they play because the batsmen are the same
 
New ball taken, going to be interesting to see what happens in the next 40mins before lunch
 
LOL at individual who already started "speculating". :bow: to Certain Pakistani fans. Sorry I must say, Only in Pakistan.
 
Pakistan cannot lose, maximum Bangladesh can draw, even though they played well here, no guarantee they would not collapse in the second innings

they are really playing well. Pitch is super flat. Tamim literally threw his wicket. And ball, tbh, didn't swing that much despite condition either.

Bangla gave us tough fight last time we were there, at least in first test they did.

With Bangladesh it's normally that they have 1 or 2 good innings out of, say, 4 or 5. Very inconsistent but they've always had potential, they just don't generally have mental toughness (also the attack is too one-dimensional, a ton of spinners and a handful of seamers).
 
200 for Shakib....131 n.o. right now? Anyone?
 
Pakistan need to show patience here, one wicket and tail enders may get out quickly, still just early second day.
 
We definitely need fast bowling alrounder who could provide us third seam option and can be useful with bat.
Wahab Riaz is must for England series.
He is handy with the bat and is the second best pace bowler in the country.
PCB is making a mess of him.

True... but does not look like it.

BD's highest individual innings in 158* by Mohammad Ashraful v India at Chittagong in 2004.

At 132* ... it is already 6th highest innings for BD.

Yes, I and many other cricket fans I know are cranky against Bangla, because it's been many years, since they are playing test. Whatever problems they had ... they still have the same problems.

Their first target should be to learn how to draw test. We weren't strong test team either. Frustrate top guns. Don't let them win, then slowly ... they will have chance to rise.

Yes, very strong possibility that he would score the highest innings score for BD here.

We have to be patient.

If you look at history of other test playing nations and keeping in mind development of the country itself .. support and stuff for cricket, then we would realize that Bangla cricket is still on improvement stage.
 
Nothing happening here....... Pakistan missing :amir , I guess somebody like :talha might have been effective here.
 
Shakib is very close to passing Ashraful's 158*, the top score for Bangladeshi batsmen. Wonder if he can get the double century :13:.

I guess one wicket for Pakistan and tail might capsize, Though He is looking very good for a double here.
