... DAY 5, SESSION 3 ...

Pakistan fight through as drama builds - Pakistan handled that session well, with Abdullah Fazal and Azan Awais laying a solid platform through a 54-run opening stand before Bangladesh struck back. Shan Masood failed to make any impact, undone by a superb delivery from Nahid Rana, but Fazal continued to impress with another composed fifty, despite surviving a huge scare when Mehidy Hasan Miraz rattled his stumps only for the bails to stay put. Fazal and Salman Agha then calmly guided Pakistan through the remainder of the session, trimming the target down to 152 runs. However, there was some concern right at the end as Fazal looked uncomfortable physically, and his availability for the final session could prove crucial. Bangladesh know that a couple of quick wickets could swing the game dramatically, given Pakistan's thin lower order, setting up a fascinating finish. Join us at 9 am GMT for the final session.

A session of grit and survival - Session Summary - 110 runs and 2 wickets in 27 overs! The contest remains finely balanced after a hard-fought session where Pakistan showed plenty of resilience against Bangladesh's spinners. While a few deliveries have stayed low and some have sharply turned, the surface is still far from unplayable. Abdullah Fazal has been hugely impressive on debut, displaying solid technique along with the confidence to play his shots when needed. With one session left, every result is still possible, though at the moment, the draw appears to be the frontrunner.
