BAN vs PAK Highlights, 1st Test Day 4: Stumps - Bangladesh lead by 179 runs

BAN vs PAK Highlights: Another gripping day of Test cricket came to an early close due to poor light, with Bangladesh holding a slender advantage over Pakistan. After Pakistan resumed strongly, they stumbled in the morning session by losing four wickets.

However, Mohammad Rizwan and Agha Salman steadied the innings with a crucial 119-run partnership that revived hopes of a first-innings lead. Both batters registered fighting half-centuries before falling in quick succession, triggering a lower-order collapse.

Mehidy Hasan starred with the ball for Bangladesh, claiming a brilliant five-wicket haul and helping his side secure a narrow 27-run lead. Bangladesh’s openers then safely negotiated a brief spell before stumps.

Bangladesh dominated Day 1 of the first Test against Pakistan in Dhaka, finishing strongly at 301/4 after recovering from an early collapse. Najmul Hossain Shanto starred with a superb 101, while Mominul Haque contributed 91 in a crucial 170-run partnership that shifted momentum firmly in Bangladesh’s favour.

Pakistan had made a bright start after choosing to bowl first, with Shaheen Afridi and Hasan Ali reducing Bangladesh to 31/2. However, the visitors struggled to maintain pressure as Shanto counterattacked aggressively with 12 fours and two sixes, while Mominul anchored the innings calmly.

Mohammad Abbas eventually broke the massive stand by dismissing Shanto shortly after his century. Mominul later fell for 91, narrowly missing a hundred, but Mushfiqur Rahim and Litton Das ensured Bangladesh ended the day in complete control.

BAN vs PAK Highlights: Pakistan battled hard through the middle sessions thanks to an important stand between Mohammad Rizwan and Agha Salman, but Bangladesh regained control late in the day.

Mehidy Hasan produced a superb spell to finish with five wickets and deny the visitors a lead after the Pakistani tail folded quickly. Bangladesh earned a valuable 27-run first-innings advantage before beginning their second innings cautiously.

Only a few overs were possible in the final session as fading light forced the umpires to call off play early. With the match finely balanced heading into the next day, both teams remain firmly in contention in this absorbing Test contest.
