Day 4 – Pakistan lead by 51 runs.
At stumps on Day 3, the Pakistan team was at 9/2, holding a narrow 21-run lead over Bangladesh. Pakistan’s position is far from secure as they lost two wickets in their brief final session of the day. Abdullah Shafique, struggling for form, was the first to go, dismissed cheaply, while nightwatchman Khurram Shahzad followed soon after, falling to Hasan Mahmud.
The day began with Bangladesh resuming at 10 without loss. Despite losing six wickets in a flurry during the morning session, the 165-run partnership between Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz for the seventh wicket was a beacon of resilience. Their partnership not only helped Bangladesh avoid the follow-on but also brought the visitors back into the game.
