"Selfish": Pakistan Captain Shan Masood Slammed For 'Awful' Declaration As Bangladesh Take Lead

Pakistan captain Shan Masood has come under the scanner after Bangladesh took a sizeable lead over the hosts in the first innings of the ongoing first Test at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel slammed centuries for Pakistan in the first innings, with the hosts looking in control of the proceedings. However, Shan made a rash declaration when Pakistan were 448/6 on Day 2, leaving Rizwan stranded on 171 not out. While the decision made a lot of sense after the opening day was cut short due to rain, Shan's call seemed to have backfired with the visitors taking a 117-run first innings lead.

Known to lose his calm in the middle of the match on occasions, Bangladesh's star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasa gave another example of his leaky temprament on Day 5 of the first Test against Pakistan. Shakib, who has caused disruptive scenes on the cricket much multiple times in the past, once again lost his cool as Pakistan wicket-keeper batter Mohammad Rizwan took his team to be ready and face a delivery. Upset with Rizwan, who has also been at the center of many time-wasting tactics in the past, an angry Shakib threw ball towards the Pakistan star.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 4, LIVE Updates: Bangladesh fought their way back into the game on Day 3, ending on 316/5 at stumps, trailing Pakistan by 132 runs. Opener Shadman Islam played a fine knock of 93 to set the tone, while half-centuries from the Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim and Litton Das meant that Bangladesh stayed in the hunt. Rahim and Litton stayed unbeaten overnight, and have the potential to close in on, if not overtake, Pakistan's total. Shaheen Afridi is still wicketless, but would hope to give a few breakthroughs and maintain Pakistan's lead. (Live Scorecard)
