PAK Vs BAN 1st Test: Centuries From Rizwan, Shakeel Put Hosts In Commanding Position On Day 2
Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium: Mega centuries from Mohammad Rizwan (171*) and Saud Shakeel (141) enabled Pakistan to dominate the second day of the first Test against Bangladesh on Thursday. The hosts declared their first innings for 448/6 as only two wickets fell in the day.
In reply, Bangladesh openers guided them to 27/0 in a tricky 12-over period before the stumps at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
Rizwan and Shakeel continued their overnight partnership in the morning session of Day 2, having added 44 runs the previous day. The duo rotated the strike frequently, capitalising on loose balls to smash them for boundaries and maintained a steady scoring rate as Bangladesh bowlers struggled to get any assistance from either pace or spin. Rizwan became the third batter to reach fifty in the innings, guiding a well-directed short ball from Nahid Rana to the thirdman fence and repeating the shot soon after.
