Bangladesh Rescues Innings in Second Test

On the third day of the second Test in Rawalpindi, Bangladesh staged a remarkable recovery from a dire position of 26 for 6, thanks to a stellar partnership of 165 runs for the seventh wicket between Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Litton scored 138 runs, marking his fourth Test century, while Mehidy contributed a vital 51 runs. Their efforts helped Bangladesh post a total of 262 in response to Pakistan's 274, leaving them trailing by just 12 runs at the end of the innings. Khurram Shahzad shone for Pakistan with a six-wicket haul, finishing with figures of 6-73, but Bangladesh’s tail wagged effectively to avoid a follow-on. As play concluded, Pakistan faced a precarious position at 9 for 2 in their second innings, leading by only 21 runs with eight wickets remaining. The match remains delicately poised, with Bangladesh looking to capitalize on their momentum after winning the first Test.
