Saud Shakeel plays away from the body, looks to drop his bat down to jam it away, but gets nicked on the outside edge. Huge appeal from Bangladesh and up goes the finger. However, Saud Shakeel opts for a review. The UltraEdge shows a clear spike when the bat grazes the ground, but there is a spike when the ball passes the bat as well and the on-field decision is upheld. The change to bring Nahid Rana back into the attack has done wonders for the Bangla Tigers. Pakistan are 154 for 4 now.

DRINKS BREAK! Despite losing Babar Azam, Pakistan have maintained a decent pace in this afternoon session, adding 51 runs in 17 overs so far. Shan Masood has held one end solidly and has largely looked unchallenged. Though there is some turn on offer for both the spinners, Shan has played them really well. Still a very long way to go for Pakistan as they need 285 runs. Bangladesh have a lot of runs to play with, but they will look to prevent big partnerships from materialising and keep chipping away at the wickets.
