12.03pm, Lunch It might go down as Pakistan's session, but Bangladesh will be very happy reaching 330. Especially after being four down for under 50 runs. A memorable century for Liton, yet another score in the nineties for Mushfiqur, a very useful 38 from Mehidy and Hasan Ali's five-for the highlights of this innings. Hasan took four of those wickets today.

What the Bangladesh innings says is this: if you get into a partnership, make it count. The 206-run fifth-wicket stand has played a massive role in Bangladesh reaching a score that is definitely par, if not above par.

Pakistan have seen how this deck has been behaving after spending four sessions in the field. After lunch, it will be their turn to have a crack with the bat. Interestingly, nine of the ten wickets went to pacers.

Wajid Jawaid : "This is a good come back by Pakistan. Now they need a 450 plus 1st innings, as they will be batting last here. Can they do that though?"

Badar: "Horrible decision by Miraz to take that single in the last over." -- There, there. Let's not be too harsh. They wanted two, but knew the second wasn't there after completing the first. Got to give credit to the fielder for stopping the second in all fairness. The idea was good from Mehidy to try for two, in fact he was trying for a four!
