“So far, the third day’s first session has been thrilling. In my opinion, the first hour of the session belonged to the Pakistani bowlers, especially Naseem Shah and Shaheen Shah, who bowled exceptionally well on a good length and didn’t give any room to the Bangladeshi batsmen. They conceded no extra runs and took two wickets, but credit should also be given to the Bangladeshi batsmen, particularly Shadman Islam, who played a great innings and is still unbeaten on 53. He’s been supported by Mominul Haque, who has scored 45 runs so far. The Bangladeshi captain, Najmul Hossain Shanto, has managed only 16 runs, and Zakir Hassan scored 12 runs.
Only one session has been played so far, and both teams have performed well. If Pakistan wants to stay in this test match, they need to get Bangladesh out for under 300 runs, which seems challenging at the moment. On the other hand, if Bangladesh wants to win or even draw this match, they need to finish the first innings quickly, which is 314 runs away, and get a lead of at least 100 runs to make a comeback, which seems difficult but not impossible. Remember, if the Pakistan team wants to maintain their position in the test championship, they need to win this series, which consists of two matches.”
