The left-arm spinner were given two wickets in two balls within the first over of the day prior to Mehidy Hasan Miraz pushed aside Fawad Alam
Taijul bowled the primary over of the morning neatly, and from the get-go, Bangladesh had their tails up. Shafique was once lucky to live on an lbw attraction early on in his innings when Bangladesh failed to check, but if Taijul skidded one thru, the debutant’s bat got here down a ways too overdue to lure him lbw. Azhar, suffering for runs, was once squared up via one who became away and struck him at the again leg first ball, and despite the fact that the umpire became Bangladesh down, they weren’t about to let this one pass unreviewed. The ball was once hitting center, and Azhar walked again in entrance of a Chattogram crowd that felt absolutely alive in spite of the early morning get started.
It was once Fawad’s dismissal, regardless that, that may illustrate the benefit of no longer having to bat remaining. One from Taijul looked as if it would have landed in a footmark and ripped again in to tuck Fawad up, the ball kissing his glove on its method thru to a pointy catch via the keeper.
From the opposite finish, Abid was once a sea of calm. He had watched the drama spread, and taken up 3 figures early within the consultation with a flick thru midwicket. He wasn’t completely immune from danger regardless that, lucky to look first slip fluff up an outdoor edge; however for probably the most section, he appeared to be batting on a unique wicket. Off the general ball of the consultation, he noticed Taijul had drop it quick, and did not hesitate to rock again and carve it thru level, citing Pakistan’s 200.
It felt an apt conclusion to a consultation, foreshadowing the struggle between the 2 facets’ highest avid gamers at the day, every jostling to assist their aspect get that all-important first-innings lead.
