Bangladesh reached 332 for 4 at stumps on Day 2 of the first Test against Pakistan in Dhaka, with Mushfiqur Rahim scoring 50 and anchoring a steady partnership with Litton Das, who was on 37 not out. The pair added over 100 runs for the fifth wicket, guiding the hosts toward a commanding first-innings total.
Rahim brought up his fifty with a series of controlled strokes, capitalizing on loose deliveries from Pakistan’s pace attack, which included Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Abbas, and Hasan Ali. Pakistan created chances, but a key moment came when Litton Das edged a Mohammad Abbas delivery to second slip, only for the umpire to overturn the dismissal after replays showed the ball had bounced before being caught.
Bangladesh will resume batting on Day 3 aiming to surpass 400, with Rahim and Das expected to continue their partnership. Pakistan’s bowlers maintained pressure but will need early wickets to challenge the host’s growing advantage.
