Bangladesh allrounder Shakib Al Hasan gave his team the early breakthrough on day two when he bowled Pakistan captain Misbah ul Haq for nine runs.

A length ball from Shakib pitched on leg stump as Misbah came down the track to block it before letting it turn. Unfortunately for Misbah, the ball did turn, beat the outside edge and rattled the leg stump.

An important day today for both the teams…Pakistan will look to drive home the advantage gained yesterday with a huge total in their first innings.

Bangladesh would like to come back into the match with quick wickets and restrict Pakistan to a low score if possible.

Ninety overs to go, ninety overs to decide the fate of this match and series…Who will call the shots at Mirpur?
