In a dramatic turnaround during the second Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi, Bangladesh recovered from a precarious 26/6 to post 262 all out, thanks to a heroic century by Litton Das and a significant 78-run contribution by Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Their 165-run seventh-wicket partnership set a historic record for the highest stand after a team had lost six wickets for fewer than 50 runs. Pakistan, in response, ended the third day at 9/2, leading by 21 runs. The match remains finely balanced, with both teams vying for a series-leveling win after Bangladesh's victory in the first Test. Key performances include Khurram Shahzad's 6/90 for Pakistan and Hasan Mahmud's two quick wickets for Bangladesh late on the third day.
