PAK batters Abdullah Fazal and Azan Awais are at the crease to face the opening over. BAN bowler Nahid Rana has the ball in hand as we set to start with day 3 action in Dhaka.

Azan Awais is nearing his maiden ton against Bangladesh on day 3 of the 1st Test. The batter is batting on 95 not out on a placid pitch that isn't offering much assistance to the bowlers. If Awais bats through till lunch, PAK will have gained an upper-hand in the match.

PAK: 192-1 (50 Overs)

Azan Awais finally gets to his maiden century but the PAK batter did not last long at the crease as he was dismissed on 103 by Taskin Ahmed. Bangladesh need more wickets if they are to stop the visitors in their tracks. Still long way off but a big partnership could be vital for PAK.

PAK: 211-2 (55 Overs)

Out of no where, Bangladesh have tightened the screws on Pakistan. Shan Masood earlier and then Saud Shakeel. The visitors have lost back-to-back wickets and it's the hosts that are in the driving seat. A couple more before lunch and they will have gained an upper-hand.

PAK: 229-4 (62 Overs)

Abdullah Fazal (60) was the latest wicket to fall as Bangladesh continue to make merry with ball in Dhaka. Four wickets in the morning session as been like a dream for the hosts with PAK batters unable to cope with the pace and bounce. PAK's lead still over 150 and if Bangladesh can strike few more, they will have the visitors just where they wanted them to be.

PAK: 239-5 (67 Overs)

Salman Agha and Mohammad Rizwan have revived Pakistan after the early setback. The duo have put on 49 runs for the sixth-wicket against Bangladesh in the 1st Test on day 3. Pakistan trail by 134 runs.

PAK: 279-5 (79 Overs)

Salman Agha and Mohammad Rizwan have frustrated the life out of Bangladesh bowlers. The duo have stitched a 50-plus stand and are looking in control of the game. The lead is 103 runs and if this duo bat through today, BAN will have a long day ahead on the following day.

PAK: 310-5 (82 Overs)

Superb piece of batting from Rizwan and Salman Agha. The duo have almost single-handedly put the visitors on the thrust of retaining control of the match after early setback on day 3. Bangla bowlers have looked clueless in the sunny Dhaka and might want to re-energize themselves.

PAK: 346-5 (89 Overs)

Mohammad Rizwan is dismissed at the stroke of tea as Bangladesh remove the dangerous batter for 59 runs. PAK were strolling towards dominance but Rizwan's wicket has brought the hosts back in the game.

PAK: 349-6 (89.4 Overs)

It's pouring down in Dhaka as rain has stopped play on day 3 of the 1st BAN vs PAK Test. It's dark in Dhaka as we wait for the weather gods to clear up.

An official inspection is scheduled for 3:30 PM local time, which is just around 20 minutes away. Hopefully, there’s some positive news coming soon.

PAK have lost one more wicket since the play resumed in Dhaka with Salman Ali Agha latest to depart. The visitors still trail and Bangladesh will hope they bowl out the Pakistan side with a minimal lead.

PAK: 368-7 (96 Overs)

Mehidy Hasan Miraz picks up five wickets as Bangladesh bowl out Pakistan for 386 runs, conceding a lead of 27 runs. The visitors now have to negate the final few overs of the day, and if they don't lose any wickets, could give them a great confidence boost on day 4.

PAK: 386 (100.3 Overs)
