1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Khulna, Apr 28-May 2, 2015

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Khulna, Apr 28-May 2, 2015

Good performance by the team :k: Pakistan should look to continue playing till an hour after lunch to add another 100-120 runs so the lead becomes ~300-320, should be enough to get BD out.

Aslam Raisani agrees with you :chai:

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Khulna, Apr 28-May 2, 2015

Who is that? Is he related to Ambati Rayadu?

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Khulna, Apr 28-May 2, 2015

I don’t know if Rayadu talks from his wrong part of body or not, but here is Aslam Raisani: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzEUcoZ48jw

Mohammad Hafeez’s 224 in this match is the highest by a Pakistan batsman against Bangladesh in Tests © AFP

7 Scores of 200 or more made by Pakistan’s openers before Hafeez in this match. The lastPakistan opener to hit a double-hundred in Tests was Taufeeq Umar, who hit 236 against Sri Lanka in 2011. This was Hafeez’s first double-hundred in Tests.

204* Pakistan’s previous highest individual score against Bangladesh in Tests, which was made by Mohammad Yousuf in Chittangong in 2002. Hafeez’s 224 is now the highest, and also only the third double-hundred by a Pakistan batsman against Bangladesh.

642 Runs made by Hafeez in his last three Tests, which account for 22.42% of his total career runs. He has scores of 96, 101, 197, 24 and 224* since the start of the series against New Zealand in November last year. In 38 Tests before that he had scored 2222 runs, including five hundreds and nine fifties. Hafeez’s batting average in Tests has made a steep climb to 40.33 from 33.16 in just his last three matches. This is the first time since 2007 that Hafeez’s Test batting average has reached 40.

227 Partnership between Hafeez and Azhar Ali - Pakistan’s second highest for any wicket against Bangladesh in Tests, and the second double-hundred stand between the two batsmen. They had put on a 287-run stand against Sri Lanka in 2012.

5 Fifty-plus scores by Pakistan’s top order (No. 1 to No. 7) in their innings - the third instance of them making five or more fifty-plus scores in six Tests since the start of the series against Australia last year. Before that, there were only 11 such instances in 382 Tests for Pakistan.

1960 The last and the only time a team had a fifty-plus stand from each of it’s first-six wickets before Pakistan in this innings. Australia had one century and five fifty stands from their first six wickets against West Indies at the Gabba.

2011 The last time before this Test that Pakistan made a total of 500-plus in the first innings of a Test after fielding first. This was also against Bangladesh in Chittagong, when they declared on a score of 594 for 5.

4 Number of times Pakistan have taken a first-innings lead of 200 or more runs with five or more wickets to spare including this match. The first time Pakistan achieved this was against New Zealand in 1994 in Wellington. The other three instances have all come against Bangladesh.

57 Runs scored off Shakib Al Hassan by Hafeez - the second-highest he has hit off a bowler in a Test innings. Hafeez had scored 65 runs off 106 deliveries off Rangana Herath in the first innings of a Test in Colombo in 2012, which are his highest off any bowler in an innings. Hafeez had a strike rate of 85.07 against Shakib in this innings.

I see. Degree degree hoti hai, Asli ho ya nakli. Very nice!

Can’t remember the last occasion Rayadu scored a run. So no. He is not Sri Raisani, for he has neither Asli or nakli runs.

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Khulna, Apr 28-May 2, 2015

That's a low score.
Another middle order collapse?

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Khulna, Apr 28-May 2, 2015

Who is Saleem?

Sa1eem is king of audit. I am merely his understudy.

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Khulna, Apr 28-May 2, 2015

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Khulna, Apr 28-May 2, 2015

You have the power to make yes to no. How can this nacheez contest what you say?

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Khulna, Apr 28-May 2, 2015

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Khulna, Apr 28-May 2, 2015

Pakistan 628 all out. Sarfraz scored 82 from 88 balls and Asad 83 from 156 balls.

Total lead 296

Pak should get rid of Tamim quickly

Taijul takes six, but Pakistan stretch lead to 296 | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam ended with figures of 6 for 163 - his third Test five-for - as Pakistan lost their last five wickets for 34 runs, but the damage had already been done. Leading by 205 runs at the start of the day, Sarfraz Ahmed and Asad Shafiq extended that dominance with a 126-run stand for the sixth wicket. Both batsmen missed out on centuries but Pakistan’s total propped up to 628, their best against Bangladesh, and the lead to 296.

With the field spread out, Sarfraz and Shafiq rotated the strike with ease and added 57 runs off 70 balls on the fourth morning, a period that contained only two boundaries. But the tone had been set in the second over, when Shafiq came down the pitch to loft Shakib Al Hasan over mid-on for three runs.

The first boundary - a powerful sweep by Sarfraz off Taijul - brought up the century of the partnership in 138 balls. Sarfraz, though, perished at mid-on off debutant Mohammad Shahid for 82. Shafiq, too, chipped one back at Shakib, giving the bowler his first wicket in his 36th over. The rest were cleaned up by Taijul.

A couple of rippers from Taijul in his first two overs turned and bounced from the middle-and-leg line to beat the outside edge. But rather than being the early morning ray of hope after two days of toil, those deliveries spelt the challenge awaiting the Bangladesh batsmen over the remaining sessions.

Keeping a close eye on them was Imrul Kayes, who had been squatting behind the stumps as a substitute wicketkeeper for more than 100 overs after Mushfiqur had injured his right hand. Eight overs into the day Kayes, in an act of self-preservation, passed on the gloves to Mahmudullah.

Donning the role for the first time in international cricket, Mahmudullah was perhaps not aware of the job responsibilities. Sarfraz blocked in front of the pitch and checked behind to see if Mahmudullah was coming forward to pick up the ball, but then went on to lob it towards the bowler.

That generosity was not expected from the Pakistan bowlers. As Bangladesh came to bat for a brief period before lunch, Junaid Khan asked for a review first ball after an inswinger thudded into Tamim Iqbal’s pads. The replays showed Tamim
had a narrow escape, with the ball grazing the leg stump.
