Welcome back for the second session of Day 5. The umpires and the players are out in the middle. Azan Awais and Abdullah Fazal will resume their innings. Taskin Ahmed to start with the ball. Let's go...
... DAY 5, SESSION 2 ...
Bangladesh and Pakistan trade blows - Pakistan will be pleased with how they controlled that session, with Hasan Ali and Shaheen Afridi striking early before Noman Ali finally removed the stubborn Najmul Hossain Shanto, triggering a collapse of 3 wickets for just 24 runs. Bangladesh then declared unexpectedly, leaving Pakistan a tricky period before Lunch, and the hosts responded instantly as Taskin Ahmed removed Imam-ul-Haq in the very first over. Mehidy Hasan Miraz also extracted sharp turn and bounce straight away, and with his outstanding fourth-innings record at home, he could prove decisive in what is shaping into a thrilling finish. Join us at 6.40 am GMT for the second session.
A classic finish brewing here - At Lunch on the final day, this Test is beautifully poised, with all three results still firmly on the table. Bangladesh looked to have shared the session evenly after adding some valuable runs and setting Pakistan a challenging target, but the hosts managed to land an early breakthrough right before the interval, nudging the momentum slightly in their favour. With the weather staying clear enough for uninterrupted play, the overcast skies continue to assist the seamers, and the new ball could become a major factor in the next session. Pakistan will still believe the chase is within reach, while Bangladesh know that a couple of quick wickets could completely swing the game their way. A gripping battle awaits after the break.
