Pakistan vs Bangladesh LIVE, 1st Test Day 4: Bangladesh Near Pakistan's Total

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)

Bangladesh started the day with all their wickets in hand but they lost Zakir Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto in quick spell. Shadman Islam and Mominul Haque then built a strong partnership of 94 runs before the latter fell after his fifty. Mushfiqur Rahim then added 52 along with Islam who missed out on his century by 7 runs as he fell right at the stroke of Tea. Pakistan have let this game slip a bit. They were in commanding position for a long time, taking wickets regularly but these on-going partnership have damped their hopes of bundling Bangladesh out for a low score. Can they pick up wickets quickly tomorrow on Day 4 or this partnership will rally? Join us at 5 am GMT for all the action. Till then, cheers!

The partnership between Litton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim has put this game back to even balance. What a stand, what an innings actually from Litton Das who came out all guns blazing and targetted Naseem Shah mostly to get to his fifty. Mushfiqur Rahim on the other hand has played a sensible, more experienced knock and to his credit has done an amazing job to build a stand with a couple of Bangladeshi players.
