Pakistan win the 2nd Test against Bangladesh by an innings and 8 runs - Win series by a 0-2 margin

[Firebat]

After the first 3 heavily rain-affected days, the Test came to life on Day 4 as Pakistan smothered Bangladesh to leave them 76/7 at Stumps, trailing by 224 runs, with Shakib Al Hasan (23*) and Taijul Islam (0*) at the crease.

Can Pakistan take 13 wickets on this final day to force a remarkable victory, or will Bangladesh stick it out for a draw?

Let's hope we can keep the momentum going from yesterday and get them all out before three figures!

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wow Sajid. What a match he is having.

 

[anakwalajinn]

7-fer for Sajid.
Imagine if he actually ends up with 9 wickets, and that run out...

 

[Firebat]

Sajid gets his 7th in his first over of the day, BAN 8 wickets down.

Truly a one man effort, absolutely outstanding. 20 odd to avoid the follow on.

 

[anakwalajinn]

9/56 is the Pakistani record by Abdul Qadir in 1987 vs. England at Lahore.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wow I did not think that was wickets missing.

 

[anakwalajinn]

Surprised that Shakib actually ran on the first ball of Shaheen's over exposing the tailender to Shaheen... and he is bowled!

 

[Nasty Naz]

Shaheen bowled him! That's the angle Shaheen needs to use more often vs right handers.

 

[shaaik]

Wow I did not think that was wickets missing.

No way was that missing the stumps and no way was the last lbw call hitting the stumps.. something really wrong with ball tracking here ..

 

[Nasty Naz]

No way was that missing the stumps and no way was the last lbw call hitting the stumps.. something really wrong with ball tracking here ..

Agreed. Sajid's one was initially looking like it might miss or clip.

Shaheen's looked pretty plumb.

 

[Mainul]

Bangladesh has already done a lot of damage to Pakistan in this match. They made a nothing bowler permanent in Pakistan team for next 10 tests.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Shaheen bowling some pretty excellent yorkers right now.

 

[Mainul]

9/56 is the Pakistani record by Abdul Qadir in 1987 vs. England at Lahore.

Phew. The record won't be broken

 

[anakwalajinn]

What do you think guys? Enforce follow on or no?

 

[anakwalajinn]

Ouch... 14 more needed for not to follow on...

 

[Nasty Naz]

Sajid with 8 wickets! What a performance.

 

[anakwalajinn]

Oh wow, Shakib... why would you do that...

 

[zn426]

What do you think guys? Enforce follow on or no?

Have to get one of these two out to ensure that choice is available. I say yes.

 

[realitygaf]

Pakistan have around 70 odd overs to get 10 wickets to win . Bangladesh will go into ultra defensive mode .

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

The next great spinner for Pakistan?

 

[Firebat]

Pakistan bowl Bangladesh out for 87 and have enforced the follow-on.

 

[Hyder]

Could ve batted for 10 overs but that meant two innings breaks meaning more overd loss due to bad light if thats the case
90 overs to bowl em out i think its very much possible

 

[Nasty Naz]

Pakistan enforce the follow on. Tons of overs to bowl out Bangladesh and our bowlers are still fresh.

 

[Ahmed216]

How's the weather today in dhaka?

 

[Hyder]

Pakistan have around 70 odd overs to get 10 wickets to win . Bangladesh will go into ultra defensive mode .

Ultra defensive mode never works. They ll lose wickets if they just try to block every thing

 

[realitygaf]

First innings

Babar Azam 1 over
Hassan Ali 0 overs

 

[boomboomcheema]

Valuable WTC points on stake here.

 

[Mainul]

The next great spinner for Pakistan?

Don't be delusional by this performances. Sajid won't last long against good teams. Even Azhar Ali will get a 5 fer against us.

 

[Civil]

Cmon boys lets go guns blazing

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Hasan Ali wasting new ball

 

[Sycamore]

Babar needs to stop with this buddy system.

I know you like hasan, but surely you bowl Sajid after what he did to the openers in the first innings, why would you do exactly what they are comfortable with ?

 

[Nasty Naz]

Oh my Hasan. What a delivery. What a bowler.

 

[asadee]

And Hasan gets a wicket lol

 

[Civil]

Bowled em hasan you beauty!

 

[Nasty Naz]

Hasan Ali wasting new ball

A wicket in his 2nd over of the game.

 

[HappyWarsFan]

babar needs to stop with this buddy system.

I know you like hasan, but surely you bowl sajid after what he did to the openers in the first innings, why would you do exactly what they are comfortable with ?

lmao )

 

[asadee]

Half the guys don't understand test cricket here I am sorry to say

 

[Thanos]

This will be over before tea I believe. Bangladesh won't be able to play full day.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Shaheen traps him LBW!

 

[HappyWarsFan]

I've seen it so many times, some people here get all pissy with Hasan and then he proves them wrong! Hahaha

 

[Civil]

Atta boy shaheen! Openers gone

 

[HappyWarsFan]

Lol, pathetic from Bangladesh

 

[realitygaf]

If Bangladesh lose this game after 3.5 days have been washed out or low light at home, icc needs a look at their test status

 

[Ab Fan]

Lol.. Pakistan closing this with 16 wickets remaining.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Brilliant bowling

 

[Nasty Naz]

That is an extremely close LBW. It looks like the bat hit his pad or maybe both pad & ball at the same time. Very hard to tell.

 

[cric_man]

the bottom of the bat hits his pad and twists the bat. Good decision in the end.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Hasan gets another wicket. Gives up 6 runs in the prior 2 balls and then comes back for a wicket.

He'll give up leaky runs but he also gets you heaps of wickets.

 

[zn426]

Lol, pathetic from Bangladesh

Averaging 6 per wicket right now . Pathetic is correct. Pakistan is feasting.

 

[Savak]

Why is Momin captain? The guy never scores, you can't have a non performing captain

 

[Thanos]

Not watching live.
How is Athar's reaction from comm box? Lol

 

[CleverSir]

Disgraceful commentary.

 

[Ozeirk]

Athar has lost it

 

[shaaik]

Disgraceful commentary.

I just can’t believe how persistent and pushy AAK has been there ..

 

[Civil]

Not watching live.
How is Athar's reaction from comm box? Lol

He is not happy lol..ranging from sedate to short tempered...arguing with the other BD comm right now about domestic structure etc.

As i type BD loses another wicket!

 

[realitygaf]

Commentators fighting with each other live. Embarrassing. Also embarrassing that not a single Pakistani commentator . Where is Bazid ? Where is Amir Sohail etc

 

[Nasty Naz]

Shaheen gets another wicket. Poor stuff from Bangladesh but credit to the bowlers too who have been beating them by getting the ball to jag back.

 

[Giannis]

We're really pullin' off this heist

 

[shaaik]

Why is Momin captain? The guy never scores, you can't have a non performing captain

He was so good at the start of his career by Bangladeshi standards but captaincy seems to be taking a toll on him..

 

[Ozeirk]

lol i have been watching in parts but i am yet to hear Athar praise the Pakistan team or at least pretend to give credit to the opposition. horrible commentary.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Why are they checking front foot on every wicket ? Isn't third umpire supposed to monitor it in real time ?

 

[Shafi]

That's how our approach should be. All out!!!

 

[Ahmed216]

Commentators fighting with each other live. Embarrassing. Also embarrassing that not a single Pakistani commentator . Where is Bazid ? Where is Amir Sohail etc

You're the first guy ever who wants bazid in commentary box. Aamer sohail is in sri lanka for LPL

 

[Afzal_K]

I know Bangladesh are in shambles and clueless but lets not be mistaken that this bowling attack would trouble top teams as well

 

[Ahmed216]

Some juice in this pitch after being covered for so long

 

[zn426]

We're really pullin' off this heist

If it wasn't for rain this would likely have ended inside four days. As it is 3.5 with the innings pressure is ridiculous.

I am really grateful the ICC staged an intervention in the USA a few years ago. Perhaps it's time for them to be looking at the incompetence of Bangladesh cricket. There has to be a way to fix this.

 

[Cric1234]

Finally some aggressive cricket from Pakistan but pretty poor from Bangladesh why the need to play aggressively when you can only draw the match.

 

[cric_man]

commies getting a bit emotional

 

[Cric1234]

Is there any rain forecast in the afternoon to save Bangladesh from defeat.

 

[realitygaf]

Athar angry in commentary box giving me strength

 

[AAli98]

Beating Athar Ali Khan is better than winning an ICC event !!

 

[Cric1234]

Some of the shots in the first innings were awful pretty much a minnow now in tests Bangladesh attacking spinners when you can’t win one batsmen swept a Yorker and got bowled.

 

[Civil]

Lets get liton and mushfiq back in the hutch before lunch

 

[Nasty Naz]

Kind of amusing Faheem has literally done nothing all match. Didn't get to bat and hasn't bowled a single over yet and might not even get a chance to do so this innings.

 

[ChTab]

Surely something needs to be done by ICC if Bangladesh fail to win any test match in this cycle as well. They didn't won any test in last cycle as well.
Maybe World test championship needs to habe 8 top teams only & Bangla can play in 2nd division with Afghanistan, Ireland & Zimbabwe.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Utter destruction. So much rain. Still BD is likely to lose the test. Shakib, Rahim are more experienced than every single Pakistan cricketer. It still looks like how BD played Pakistan 15 years back.

 

[ChTab]

Kind of amusing Faheem has literally done nothing all match. Didn't get to bat and hasn't bowled a single over yet and might not even get a chance to do so this innings.

Not his fault. He has improved alot since his comeback in test team & he should play all test matches home & away because he always score some handy runs down the order plus he always take 1 or 2 wickets. Also he gives our primary fast bowlers much needed rest during the spells.

Forget about winning. Competing itself is missing. this is an absolute surrender.

 

[nextover666666]

I think after this match athar Ali khan will have a nervous breakdown
