BAN 530/7
Bangladesh are all out on 565, establishing a lead of 117 against Pakistan at Rawalpindi. Mushfiqur Rahim's 191 was the catalyst behind BAN's resurgence. For PAK, Naseem Shah was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets.
Pakistan have already lost Saim Ayub early in their second innings. The left-hander was caught behind in just the third over off the bowling of left-arm pacer Shoriful Islam. Skipper Shaan Masood is currently on the pitch alongside the other opener Abdullah Shafique.
Pakistan avoid further damage and finish at 23/1 at stumps. They are still trailing by 94 runs and would need some resistance to force a draw on the fifth and final day. Bangladesh would be happy with where they are but would need some really exceptional bowling to eke out a win. As of now it seems headed towards a draw with Bangladesh having an upper hand.
Bangladesh took a lead against Pakistan's 448/6 dec in the first innings and have also dismissed Saim Ayub in the second. Pakistan have finished Day 4 trailing by 94 runs.
