Draw on the cards, but Mominul and Shanto extend Bangladesh's lead
Edition SLDay 4 - Bangladesh lead by 179 runs.Current RR: 3.00 • Last 10 ov (RR): 29/1 (2.90)ReportJust like the first innings of the Test, the pair dug in to take the sting out of Pakistan's bowling attackMominul Haque made 56 before falling close to stumps • AFP/Getty ImagesBangladesh 413 and 152 for 3 (Shanto 58*, Mominul 56, Hasan 1-23) lead Pakistan 386 (Awais 103, Fazal 60, Mehidy 5-102, Taijul 2-46) by 120 runsWith the afternoon session wiped out entirely by torrential rains, Bangladesh were solid either side of it, thanks primarily to 105-run stand between the pair, their century partnership this Test, and just the third time a pair has done so for Bangladesh.Pakistan's seam bowlers threatened early after removing the openers cheaply once more, but found themselves held up by the two left-handers, with a late strike from Shaheen Shah Afridi in the final session the only triumph they had to show for the rest of the day.The lights were on almost from the outset on an overcast morning, and the first dismissal looked like the kind a seam bowler would get on a green top under the clouds.Abbas got one to nip back in off the surface into Mahmudul Hasan Joy's pads, right under the knee roll. With Pakistan constricting the run-scoring, they struck again through Hasan Ali, who took advantage of the variable bounce to rear one up that caught the shoulder of Shadman Islam's bat.The job of rebuilding fell once more to the pair primarily responsible for putting Bangladesh in this position of relative control. Mominul and Shanto merely picked up where they'd left off, settling in and taking the sting out of Pakistan's attack. Mominul was the more cautious one while Shanto gradually picked up the scoring rate, every run appearing to tilt the match situation ever so slightly Bangladesh's way.In the final half hour of the session, the pair looked positively dominant and, in a repeat of the first innings, the runs in that period flowed easily. Salman Ali Agha's spin posed a threat early on, with Mohammad Rizwan dropping a sharp chance off an outside edge, but even that threat faded soon after. In his final over before lunch, Mominul leapt down the wicket and whacked him over his head.That the heavens opened might have been an advantage for Pakistan, in that it broke up the pair's rhythm and made Bangladesh's calculations about the pacing of their innings more complicated. However, nearly four hours since then previous ball, the resumption of play saw no semblance of ...
