DHAKA — Bangladesh enjoyed a commanding first day at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, posting 301 for 4 at stumps on Day 1 of the Test match against Pakistan.
The hosts batted with great authority as Pakistan’s bowlers struggled to contain the free-flowing Bangladesh batting lineup throughout the day. The pitch offered little assistance to the pacers or spinners, and the visiting bowlers lacked the penetration needed to check the run flow regularly.
Pakistan’s captain faces mounting questions over bowling tactics and field placements as the team searches for answers heading into Day 2. The tourists will need to claim the remaining 6 wickets quickly to prevent Bangladesh from posting a massive first-innings total that could prove decisive in the match.
