122 on the Bangladesh scoreboard before lunch, waiting for a win

The apprehension was about the start of the game. There was a hint of rain from the beginning. However, Pakistan's legendary Ramiz Raja said that the weather will be suitable for the whole day's play in Rawalpindi. That's what happened in the end. The 5th day of the Test against Pakistan started under the sunshine. And there was a smile of relief on Bangladesh's face in the first session.

Bangladesh scored 122 runs before lunch. Lost two wickets. Need 63 more runs to win. Zakir Hossain and Sadman Islam returned, but the third-wicket partnership of Nazmul Hossain Shanto and Muminul Haque's 42-run partnership saw the Tigers dreaming of victory. Nothing too difficult is waiting for Bangladesh to whitewash the opponent for the fourth time in their history.

Zakir scored 58 runs for the team and another opener Sadman returned for 70 runs. The two openers scored runs in 10 overs and crossed the 50 mark. After that, however, there is a problem. Zakir returned with a personal 40 run bowled by Mir Hamzar. Zakir misses the line on a good length ball that goes out with light movement. Bangladesh's opening pair of 58 runs was broken.

Captain Nazmul Hossain has come to the crease. Both Sadman and Shanta are playing slowly. Although Sadman got a life in between. Even if caught at slip, it failed. But he could not make use of the life he got. Shaan Masood caught while playing a soft shot at mid-off. Khurram gets his first wicket.

Next is a slow duet of Shanta and Muminul. The former and current captain of Bangladesh cricket found themselves right in the end even though it was a bit difficult in the beginning due to the wet outfield. Both have crossed 16 overs together. Even though they scored 42 runs slowly, no one put the team in danger.
