BAN vs PAK Highlights, 1st Test Day 4: Stumps - Bangladesh lead by 179 runs

BAN vs PAK Highlights: Another gripping day of Test cricket came to an early close due to poor light, with Bangladesh holding a slender advantage over Pakistan. After Pakistan resumed strongly, they stumbled in the morning session by losing four wickets.

However, Mohammad Rizwan and Agha Salman steadied the innings with a crucial 119-run partnership that revived hopes of a first-innings lead. Both batters registered fighting half-centuries before falling in quick succession, triggering a lower-order collapse.

Mehidy Hasan starred with the ball for Bangladesh, claiming a brilliant five-wicket haul and helping his side secure a narrow 27-run lead. Bangladesh’s openers then safely negotiated a brief spell before stumps.
