END OF OVER:
113 | 4 Runs | PAK: 448/6

  • Shaheen Shah Afridi29 (24b)
  • Mohammad Rizwan171 (239b)
  • Nahid Rana19-0-105-0
  • Mehidy Hasan Miraz21-1-80-1

And suddenly, Shan Masood signals the declaration. He had been in talks with Jason Gillespie for quite some time, and they decided they have got enough on the board, with Rizwan also tiring but near elusive double ton milestone. The aim now will be to take a few early wickets and put Bangladesh on the back foot, as batting in the final session's latter half won't be easy. It's a good decision from Pakistan captain; personal milestones don't really matter much, and the goal should be to push for a result and get an upper hand on the game, what do you think? We'll be back shortly

Mirza Zaid: "That declaration is baffling! Rizwan is in fantastic form, and Pakistan still has 4 wickets in hand. Why not push for another 60-70 runs and cross the psychological barrier of 500? You only get one shot to bat in this innings--why pull the plug now?"

Hamza: "He was well on his way to a test double ton, The signal should've been for him to accelerate, either he gets there or gets out and they declare."
