PAK vs BAN: Pakistan declare at 448-6 as Bangladeshi batters start on a cautious note: Shan Masood led Pakistan declared their innings at the score of 448-6 on the second day of the first test match against Bangladesh which is taking place at Rawalpindi?s Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Thursday.



The hosts kicked off the proceedings of day two with a score of 158-4, with vice-captain Saud Shakeel (57 runs) and Mohammad Rizwan (24 runs) at the crease. The two batters dominated the Bangladeshi bowling unit and continued their outstanding form, scoring hundreds.



Rizwan and Shakeel brought up their third century in the longest format of the game and stitched a partnership of 240 runs for the fifth wicket.



Shakeel played a really good knock of 141 runs in 261 balls but he got dismissed off the bowling of Mehidy Hasan Miraz.

Bangladeshi bowlers breathed a sigh of relief after dismissing the Pakistani captain however much to their dismay, Rizwan continued to dominate the bowlers and went on to play an unbeaten knock of 171 runs in 239 balls. This also turned out to be the first 150+ of the 32-year-old?s career. Meanwhile, Shaheen Shah Afridi also managed to chip in with a decent inning of 29 runs in 24 deliveries.



Bangladeshi opening batters Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam started their team?s first inning on a cautious note following the declaration executed by the Shan Masood-led team on 448-6.



The visiting team scored 27 runs without the loss of a wicket at stumps on the second day as the Pakistani seamers bowled 12 overs. Bangladesh trail by 421 runs after the end of day 2.



Earlier on the first day of the test match, after being asked to bat first by Najmul Hossain Shanto, the hosts struggled a lot against the pace bowling unit of the visitors as the trio of Abdulla Shafique (2 runs), skipper Shan Masood (6 runs) and Babar Azam (0 runs) were sent back to the pavilion inside the first 10 overs of the Pakistani inning.



After losing three important players, the home side executed a comeback as the duo of Saud Shakeel and Saim Ayub got involved in a crucial partnership of 98 runs which bailed the Shaheens out of trouble.



Opener Saim Ayub brought up his first fifty of his test career as he played a good inning of 56 runs in 98 balls which consisted of a six and four fours. The youngster eventually got dismissed by Hasan Mahmud but Shakeel and Rizwan steadied the sinking ship of the Green Shirts and took their side to a respectable total of 448 runs.



For Bangladesh, left-arm seamer Shoriful Islam and right-arm fast bowler Hasan Mahmud took two wickets each.

PAK vs BAN: Pakistan declare at 448-6 as Bangladeshi batters start on a cautious note

pak-vs-ban-pakistan-declare-at-448-6-as-bangladeshi-batters-start-on-a-cautious-note

PAK vs BAN: The first match of the 2-match test series is being played in Rawalpindi between Pakistan and Bangladesh. Bangladesh came into the host nation early to prepare for their red ball series due to the unrest in their homeland. The track of Rawalpindi seems likely for batters, as Pakistan were put to bat first with the openers and top-order struggling. Pakistan were struggling early with 16/3 in the first innings; however, the Pakistan middle order performed exceptionally well as Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan made Bangladesh?s bowlers toil. Shakeel scored a stunning 141 with Rizwan left not out on an unbeaten 171, as Pakistan declared their total for 448/6 in the first inning. Bangladesh saw the first day off without losing any wicket; however, the Pakistan bowlers struck early on Day 2. Though Sadman Islam and Mominul Haque gave stability to the Bangladesh innings. Later, their most experienced batter and highest run-getter in red-ball cricket in the history of Bangladesh cricket, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushfiqur_Rahim">Mushfiqur Rahim</a>, scripted history with an iconic innings of 191 on Pakistani soil. Litton Das, as well as Mehidy Hasan Miraz, also added important runs for the Bangladesh team as they ended their innings on a firm 565 all-out.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bangladesh changes the course of the game on Day 5</h2>



Pakistan trailed by 117 runs when they came into bat on Day 4 itself and again took guard of their wicket early on. However, they faced early trouble again as their openers, skipper Masood and legendary batter Babar Azam, failed again in front of the Bangladesh pacers. This time even Shakeel could not come to their rescue as Bangladesh?s best-ranked all-rounder, Shakib Al-Hasan, removed the batter for a duck. Rizwan kept his wicket and once again looked comfortable in his short yet subtle innings of 51 runs.

</figure>



 Though the rest of the Pakistani batting order, including their all-rounders and tailenders could not resist the Bangladeshi spinners, Shakib Al-Hasan and <a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/mehidy-hasan-miraz-629063">Mehidy Hasan Miraz</a>. Both the spinners shared 7 wickets between them, and Pakistan were all-out for just 146 runs.

The Bangladesh batters came to chase the total with 50 overs remaining for Day 5 to end. This registers Bangladesh?s first win against Pakistan in the history of the longest format of the game. Pakistan have won 12 of their 13 tests against Bangladesh with a single draw, and this undefeated streak now comes to an end.

 Before this, Bangladesh had only won test matches against Afghanistan, Australia, England, New Zealand, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, and Ireland. However, the West Indies has been the only major side against whom Bangladesh have secured a test series win both in and away from home. This win against Pakistan in Rawalpindi marks their third major victory on foreign soil, after a win against Sri Lanka at Colombo in 2017 and against New Zealand at Mount Maunganui in 2022. This win stirs a surge of confidence for Bangladesh cricket.

PAK vs ENG: Pakistan announce their squad for the 1st test vs England

pak-vs-eng-pakistan-announce-their-squad-for-the-1st-test-vs-england

Pakistan vs England 2nd Test 2024: Pakistan announce their playing XI for the 2nd test-match vs England, Kamran Ghulam in, Babar Azam out: In what proves to be a significant development, Pakistan?s Men's National Cricket Team have announced their Playing XI for the 2nd Test-Match versus England. Captained by Shan Masood, the Shaheens will be squaring off against the Three Lions in a do-or-die contest at the Cricket Stadium of Multan.



As anticipated, 29-year-old batter Kamran Ghulan has replaced experienced batsman Babar Azam at number-four in the playing XI of the Green Shirts. Moreover, Pakistan have also opted to go with four spinners, including spin-bowling All-Rounder Salman Ali Agha, for this forthcoming Test-Match.



This move gives a solid indication that the surface for the 2nd-test in Multan will be a spin-friendly one and will provide a lot of assistance to the slower bowlers.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Babar Azam replaced by Kamran Ghulam in the Playing XI</h2>



In a bold-move, the team-management of Pakistan have taken the tough decision of dropping out-of-form batter Babar Azam from the squad for the last two-encounters of the three-match Test-Series.



The home side have made significant changes to their squad, bringing in several new-faces in hopes of turning around their fortunes on home-soil.



A highly talented middle-order batsman, Ghulam has scored tons of runs at the First-Class Cricket level, amassing a total of 4,377 runs, including 20 fifties and 16 centuries at an outstanding average of 49.17. The 29-year-old is in really good form with the bat and would be looking to create an instant impact on his debut in the 2nd-test versus England.



Left handed opening batter Saim Ayub, who didn't have a good outing with the bat in the 1st-test match, has retained his spot in the Starting XI alongside Abdullah Shafique. The latter scored a terrific hundred in the first inning of the previous contest and he would be looking to play an important role with the bat again for his team.



Captain Shan Masood will be occupying the number three position in the batting-order. The Southpaw had an amazing 1st Test-Match having played an outstanding knock of 151 runs in the first inning. He would once again to be looking to take the responsibility with the bat as the captain and help Pakistan level the series versus England.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pakistan vs England 2nd Test 2024: Pakistan's Starting XI versus England</h2>



Shan Masood (Captain), Kamran Ghulam, Saud Shakeel (Vice-Captain), Abdullah Shafique, Mohammad Rizwan (WK), Saim Ayub, Aamer Jamal, Sajid Khan, Salman Ali Agha, Zahid Mohammad and Noman Ali.

Pakistan vs England 3rd Test: Shan Masood led Pakistan reached a score of 187-7 in 62 overs at lunch on the 2nd day of the 3rd Test-Match between Pakistan and England at the Cricket Stadium of Rawalpindi.



The contest will resume after a duration of 30 minutes, with Saud Shakeel (72runs in 132 balls) and Noman Ali (6runs in 15 balls) batting in the middle.



The second day kicked off with the Green Shirts sitting at a score of 73/3 in 23 overs, with captain Masood (16 runs) and Saud Shakeel (16 runs) on-strike.



Notably, the Shaheens need to get 80 more runs to eliminate the lead of the Ben Stokes-led team. England scored 267 runs in their 1st inning.



The partnership between Masood and Shakeel looked promising however, the Pakistani skipper?s dismissal off the bowling of off-spinner Shoaib Bashir triggered a mini-collapse in the batting-order of the home team.



Introducing leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed into the attack turned out to be a masterstroke as he picked up three crucial wickets to give the advantage to the tourists.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/389785.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-148906" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">England's Rehan Ahmed has created a lot of problems with the ball for the batters of Pakistan | Image: Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



Wicketkeeper Batsman Mohammad Rizwan was caught plumb in front of the stumps by Rehan on the third delivery of the 49th over and Rizwan got out after scoring 25 runs in 46 deliveries. 



Carrying the complete pressure on his shoulders, Shakeen is currently unbeaten at the crease and he would be looking to strengthen the sinking ship of the Shaheens by scoring a hundred.



Additionally, the fans present in the stadium witnessed Salman Ali Agha getting dismissed after scoring just one run as he was caught in front of the stumps by Rehan Ahmed.



Aamer Jamal followed suit as well, Rehan got the better of him as well in the 57th over.. Jamal departed after scoring just 14 runs.



Tailender Noman Ali is present at the crease alongside Shakeel.



In terms of England?s bowling performance, leggie Rehan Ahmed has been the best bowler so far with three wickets next to his name. He is being supported in a good way by fellow spinner Shoaib Bashir who has dismissed two Pakistani batters so far while the duo of Atkinson and Leach have one wicket a piece next to their name.
