The players are walking out to the middle. Mohammad Hafeez will open with debutant Sami Aslam. Two slips and a gully in place

Bangladesh have got a good first innings score but they were well placed to get more than 332. They lost their last 7 wickets for just 96 runs. Mominul Haque was top-scorer for the hosts, while Imrul Kayes too scored a fine fifty. Wahab Riaz and Yasir Shah bagged three wickets apiece, while Mohammad Hafeez and Zulfiqar Babar got two each. The pitch is very good to bat on and Bangladesh will have to bowl very well to restrict Pakistan.

Welcome back for the second session.

Lunch, Day 2: Four wickets fell in the session and Pakistan will be very happy with their show. Bangladesh did not get off to the best of starts as Shakib Al Hasan played an uncharacteristic stroke to gift his wicket away to Zulfiqar Babar very early in the day. Debutant Soumya Sarkar then joined Mushfiqur Rahim and played positively. With the duo sharing a fifty partnership, Bangladesh looked all set to post a big first innings total but Asad Shafiq took an excellent catch to get rid of the latter. Yasir Shah then foxed Rahim with a big leg-spinner before knocking over Taijul Islam with a googly. Pakistan's fielding was much improved and the team management would be happy with their performance. Can the tailenders help Bangladesh get past 350? We'll find out after the break.

114.5 - Yasir Shah to Mohammad Shahid, no run, big appeal for LBW, not given. Googly sliding down the leg side, Shahid gets hit on the front pad as he fails to defend

Mohammad Shahid, right handed bat, comes to the crease

114.4 - Yasir Shah to T Islam, out Bowled!! This is good bowling from Yasir Shah. Islam doesn't pick the googly. On seeing this ball pitch outside leg stump, he moves across and tries to sweep it fine, but misses and the ball spins back towards the sticks to disturb the leg stump. Third wicket for Yasir Shah.

There was no conclusive evidence to overturn the on-field call and Islam survives

Big shout for caught behind, not given and Pakistan have asked for the review. Oh Yasir Shah almost overstepped, but he's just fine. Was there an edge? Or was it off the pad? There is a sound as the ball passed the bat. Looks like it is not close to the pad. It's a tough call. Remember, there is no Hot-Spot or Snicko available. There is a clear sound but it's very hard to tell if it was bat or pad. The benefit of the doubt goes to the batsman. NOT OUT is the call.

112.5 - Yasir Shah to T Islam, no run, tossed up just outside off stump, Islam defends off the front foot

Taijul Islam, left handed bat, comes to the crease

112.4 - Yasir Shah to Rahim, out Caught by Misbah!! That is a soft dismissal. Rahim can't believe that he's hit it straight to the fielder. Short ball from Yasir Shah, it grips and turns big, Rahim was going for the cut, but he checks his shot because of the sharp turn and offers a simple catch to his counterpart at cover. This is a massive wicket for the visitors. Rahim c Misbah b Yasir Shah 32(71) [4s-5]

111.2 - Hafeez to Soumya Sarkar, out Caught by Shafiq!! That is in the air and it's Shafiq, who takes an excellent catch again. Flighted delivery outside off stump, Sarkar looks to loft the drive over the infield this time, but the ball hits the outside half of the bat and goes high in the air, Shafiq runs to his left from extra-cover, dives and takes a very good catch. End of a promising innings from Sarkar. Soumya Sarkar c Shafiq b Hafeez 33(55) [4s-5]

93.1 - Babar to Shakib, out Caught by Shafiq!! This is a great start to the day for Pakistan. It's a bit of a bizarre dismissal as well. Flighted delivery on the leg stump, Shakib advances and looks to play the lofted drive, gets an inside edge and the fielder at leg slip dives low to his left and takes it with both hands. Normally, when a batsman goes down the track, the fielder at leg slip would not come into play but Shafiq was very attentive. Shakib c Shafiq b Babar 25(61) [4s-3]

Pitch Report: "It's a straw coloured pitch. It's nicely rolled in, there is not much of grass. It will be easier to bat on today," reckons Aamer Sohail.

Even though there were a few dark clouds, the weather did not spoilsport yesterday. It is a bit cloudy at the moment and hopefully rain doesn't intervene today as well.

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of the Khulna Test. The morning session is going to be crucial for both teams. Pakistan need some early wickets to stop Bangladesh from getting a big first innings total. On the other hand, the hosts would want to bat well and score in excess of 400. Mominul Haque was the star performer with the bat for Bangladesh. He was dismissed against the run of play in the last over of the day yesterday. Pakistan's fielding was not up to the mark and the bowlers certainly need some help from the fielders as there is not much of assistance from the pitch.

Mominul continued and recorded his 8th Test fifty. In the process, he became only the 7th player to record 50+ scores in 10 consecutive Test matches. Just when it looked like Bangladesh had their noses slightly ahead, Zulfiqar Babar trapped Mominul plumb in front in the final over of the day to hurt the hosts. For Pakistan, Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Hafeez, Yasir Shah and Babar bagged a wicket each. The visitors dropped a few chances and they would want to improve their fielding. So that concludes proceedings. Join us back tomorrow for all the action from Day 2. Goodbye!

Opting to bat first, the hosts got off to a sedate start as the Pakistani pacers bowled a tight line. Yasir Shah came on and accounted for Tamim Iqbal in his second over. Mominul Haque and Imrul Kayes then batted sensibly to help Bangladesh get to 60/1 at lunch. Resuming after the break, the duo upped the ante but the latter fell soon after completing his 2nd Test fifty. Mahmudullah then joined Mominul and the duo were involved in a 95-run stand before the former fell one run short of a fifty.

Stumps, Day 1: 236/3 would have been better for Bangladesh, but they will take 236/4. Pakistan would have wanted a few more wickets, but they can be happy with the fact that they have not allowed Bangladesh to score freely. So it's all evenly balanced at the moment.

89.5 - Babar to Mominul, out Lbw!! What a time to get a wicket. Mominul can't believe that he's been dismissed. Flighted delivery from Babar, Mominul looks to defend, but the ball spins sharply and goes past the bat. Hits him in line with middle and off and that looked absolutely plumb. Umpire Nigel Llong had no hesitation in his mind and he put his finger up in a flash. End of a gritty knock from the little man. He falls short of a well deserved hundred. Mominul lbw b Babar 80(162) [4s-8]

Babar to Mominul, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

Mominul has been given OUT LBW, he consults with his partner and decides to review. That looked pretty out to me. Anyway, let's go through the process. No issues with Babar's footing. Looks like there is no inside edge as well. Hawk-Eye says hitting the stumps and the on-field call will stay.

Pakistan have reviewed for a catch after umpire Ranmore Martinesz shook his head. They seem very confident. No issues with Yasir Shah's footing. Was there an inside edge? There were two sounds. Is it bat hitting ground? No Snicko or Hot-Spot available. So this is going to be a tough call. There has to be enough evidence to overturn the onfield call. NOT OUT is the final call.

Welcome back for the final session. The players are out in the middle and we are all set for the action to begin.

Tea, Day 1: Good session for Bangladesh. They have scored 90 runs for the loss of Imrul Kayes in 29 overs. Mohammad Hafeez removed Kayes soon after the latter completed his second Test fifty and since then these two have shared a fine fifty partnership to keep Bangladesh going. Pakistan would want improve their fielding, having put down a few chances in this session. Take a break and join us back in a short while for the post-tea session.

Welcome back for the second session. The players are making their way out to the middle.

Lunch, Day 1: Bangladesh made slow progress on a good batting surface. Both Junaid Khan and Wahab Riaz bowled a tight spell up front to keep Tamim Iqbal and Imrul Kayes very calm. With the pitch offering some assistance to the spinners, Pakistan employed Mohammad Hafeez, Zulfiqar Babar and Yasir Shah into the attack. In the second half of the session, the hosts managed to pick up a few boundaries before Tamim was dismissed by Yasir Shah. The ball has just started to reverse a bit and it will be interesting to see the approach of the Bangladeshi batsmen against Junaid and Riaz. Take a break and join us back for what promises to a good post-lunch session.

0.3 - Junaid Khan to Kayes, no run, good length delivery outside off stump, not much of movement on this one, Kayes shoulders arms, the ball brushes the pad en route to the keeper. Impact was well outside off stump and even with Junaid's angle from over the wicket it was not heading towards the stumps. Umpire Ranmore Martinesz thought for a while and shook his head. Sarfraz Ahmed was very confident, he forced Misbah to review and Pakistan have lost one very early

Shout for LBW, not given. Sarfraz is confident and he wants Misbah to send it upstairs. Pakistan have reviewed. Needless I guess. That ball was never going to hit off stump. Anyway, let's go through the process. No issues with Junaid Khan's footing. Hawk-Eye in, it says wickets missing and Pakistan have lost a review just three deliveries into the innings.

0.2 - Junaid Khan to Kayes, no run, this one shapes away from the left-hander, a tough delivery first up for Kayes. On a length delivery, pitching just outside off stump and moving away, Kayes plays inside the line and gets beaten

0.1 - Junaid Khan to Tamim, 1 run, off the mark straightaway. Just a bit of inswing on this fuller length delivery, Tamim looks to defend off the front foot, the ball rolls to mid-wicket off an inside edge

Tamim and Kayes are at the crease. Tamim is on strike. Junaid Khan will open the attack

Welcome back for Bangladesh's second essay. Just about 12 minutes to go for the lunch break and this is going to be a tricky little phase for the openers.

Pakistan have added 91 runs today and their lead is now 296 runs. Sarfraz Ahmed and Asad Shafiq batted positively, but Taijul Islam bowled well to finish with a 6-wicket haul. Earlier, Mohammad Hafeez hit a magnificent double-hundred to lead Pakistan's charge. Azhar Ali, Misbah-ul-Haq, Asad Shafiq and Sarfraz Ahmed scored fifties.

168.4 - T Islam to Babar, out Stumped!! Taijul Islam ends with six wickets. This is a lucky wicket though. Babar comes down the track to go big, but misses, the ball keeps low, hits the keeper's pad and rolls back onto the stumps to dislodge the bails in time.

The ball hits the pad and then kisses the bat as it was very close to the pad. The impact was in line with middle and it was crashing into middle and leg. Yasir Shah lbw b T Islam 13(15) [4s-3]

T Islam to Yasir Shah, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

Yasir Shah has been given OUT LBW, but he's reviewed it. Looked very OUT to me. No problems with the no-ball. Was there an inside edge? Did it hit the first pad before making contact with the bat? A very tough call for the third umpire. No inside edge reckons the third umpire and Hawk-Eye suggests that it was crashing into the stumps.

Pitch Report: "The cracks are not moving, so I think this pitch will stay the same. However, if you hit the footmarks you will get some purchase. Yasir Shah and Zulfiqar Babar will be very handy for Pakistan," reckons Aamer Sohail.

There was some early morning rain in Khulna, but the good news is that it has cleared now and there is nothing threatening on the radar either.

Hello and a warm welcome to Day 4 of the Khulna Test. Having had a great couple of days, Pakistan are in command at the moment. The lead is over 200 and they would want to score some quick runs in the morning and stretch their lead further. Although there was some assistance for the spinners, Bangladesh did not hit the right areas on a consistent basis and allowed the visitors to score heavily. Mohammad Hafeez had a great day at the office as he completed his maiden double-hundred.

Soon after completing his maiden Test double-hundred, Hafeez was caught brilliantly by Mahmudullah at leg slip. Skipper Misbah-ul-Haq scored a fine fifty and then Asad Shafiq combined well with Sarfraz Ahmed to share a brisk stand. Both completed fifties and the latter in particular batted aggressively to help Pakistan stretch the lead past 200. That concludes proceedings. The visitors would want to bat for an hour or so on Day 4 to strengthen their position further. Join us back tomorrow for all the action. Goodbye!

Stumps, Day 3: A very good day for Pakistan. They scored 310 runs for the loss of 4 wickets today and the lead is now over 200. Bangladesh did not hit the right areas and the visitors batted well to dominate proceedings. Mohammad Hafeez reached 150, before Azhar Ali was knocked over by Shuvagata Hom. Younis Khan and Hafeez then shared a fifty partnership before the former was dimissed by Taijul Islam.

Welcome back for the final session. The players are out in the middle.

Tea, Day 3: Another session that belonged to Pakistan. The lead is now 89 and they are well on course to get a massive first innings lead. Taijul Islam bowled a big off-spinner to outfox Younis Khan, but Mohammad Hafeez continued his good work and registered his maiden Test double hundred before being caught brilliantly by Mahmudullah at leg slip. Skipper Misbah-ul-Haq is batting positively and the visitors would want to score quickly in the final session and strengthen their position.

Welcome back for the second session.

Taijul Islam too got some sharp turn, but Younis Khan and Hafeez managed to survive a few close moments. Shakib was unimpressive in his second spell as well and Bangladesh opted to take the second new ball, which meant the pacers were back into the attack. Both Younis and Hafeez treated the bowling on merit and carried their bats to lunch.

Lunch, Day 3: 106 runs for the loss of just one wicket, a great session for the visitors. A poor opening spell from Shakib Al Hasan helped Pakistan get off to a good start. Rubel Hossain bowled well at the other end with the reverse-swinging ball, but he got no support from his partner. It was Shuvagata Hom, who got the breakthrough in his second over of the day with a fantastic off-spinner to knock over Azhar Ali. He bowled well and inspired his team-mates to lift their game.

Mushfiqur Rahim has not taken the field, Imrul Kayes will continue to keep wickets. Rahim injured his finger while trying to take a catch off Azhar Ali. The X-rays haven't showed any fracture and it is just a sprain.

Pitch Report: "The pitch hasn't become abrasive. The cracks haven't opened up and there are not much of rough areas. Overall, it should be a good day for batsmen," reckons Aamer Sohail.

Welcome to Day 3 of the Khulna Test. Pakistan are well ahead at this stage of the game. It's a crucial morning session for Bangladesh than the visitors. They need to take early wickets, otherwise Pakistan could run away with a big first innings lead. Mohammad Hafeez, who registered scores of 4, 0, 4 in the ODI series, played some excellent shots and recorded a brisk hundred. Azhar Ali too batted sensibly for his fifty. Bangladesh would want to improve their fielding. If they had not dropped Ali twice, things could have been better for them yesterday.

Pakistan are just 105 runs behind Bangladesh's first innings total and the hosts need to play very well tomorrow to get back into this contest. That concludes proceedings for today. Join us back tomorrow for all the action from Day 3. Goodbye!

In reply, openers Mohammad Hafeez and Sami Aslam shared a fifty partnership before the latter was dismissed. Since then, Hafeez and Azhar Ali batted sensibly to put Pakistan in command. Hafeez recorded his 8th Test hundred - his 3rd in four innings - and also became the third Pakistani opener to amass 500 runs in 5 consecutive innings. Bangladesh dropped Azhar Ali twice and he is now looking strong after registering his 19th Test fifty.

Stumps, Day 2: Pakistan have had a great day in the office and they now have the upper hand in this Test match. Firstly, the bowlers bowled well in the morning session to pick wickets at regular intervals. Soon after the lunch break, Bangladesh were bowled out for 332. The hosts lost their last 7 wickets for just 96 runs as Wahab Riaz and Yasir Shah bagged two wickets apiece.

Welcome back for the post-tea session. The players are making their way out to the middle.

Tea, Day 2: Openers Mohammad Hafeez and Sami Aslam got Pakistan off to good start. Soon after the duo shared a fifty partnership, Taijul Islam removed the former. Azhar Ali then joined Hafeez and survived a few close moments before the latter completed his fifty. The spinners are getting some help from the pitch and the final session is going to be interesting. Take a short break and join us back in a short while for the final session.

11.5 - T Islam to Sami Aslam, out Caught by Rahim!! Flighted delivery down the leg-side, Aslam tries to work it on the on-side, but the ball spins sharply, goes past the bat and probably brushes the left glove. It's a good take by Rahim as he was blinded by the batsman. There seems to be a deflection as the ball passes the glove and the third umpire was convinced and he overturned the on-field call. Interestingly, Sami Aslam shows no emotions, so maybe he gloved that. Bangladesh have finally broken the opening stand. Sami Aslam c Rahim b T Islam 20(36) [4s-2 6s-1]

T Islam to Sami Aslam, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Loud shout for caught behind, not given and Rahim has reviewed it. No issues with the bowler's footing. Was there bat/glove involved? The on-field umpire ruled it Not Out. Again, no Hot-Spot or Snicko available. Another tough one for the man in the air-conditioned box. Has it brushed the glove? Yes it has says the third umpire and Sami Aslam is OUT.

So that's it from this game. The action now shifts to the second Test match in Dhaka. As Rahim said, hopefully we have a sportive wicket. Join us back for all the action on Wednesday. Until then, take care, goodbye!

Tamim: "It's very pleasing. Whatever I planned, it came off for me. He (Imrul Kayes) batted very well and that helped us a lot. When I was in attacking mood, he was controlling the innings and it was a great combination. Taijul bowled brilliantly on this wicket, spinners don't have anything to offer on this surface. We enjoyed playing. We just played our roles well and it worked for us. When Mushy (Rahim) got out we got a bit nervous but Shakib batted well. We've done well in limited overs cricket and now we are proving that we can play Test cricket as well."

Tamim Iqbal is the Man of the Match

Rahim: "The finger is getting better and hopefully I can play the second Test. It's a great achievement to score 500 in the second innings. Credit to Tamim and Imrul, they were brilliant at the top. It's difficult to take 20 wickets on this surface. This is the best batting performance I ever saw from Tamim. Imrul also batted really well. All credit goes to the boys and I am really privileged to be the captain of this team. People come to see results, hopefully we will have a good wicket for the next match."

Misbah: "It's a slow track, batsmen really enjoyed. Credit to whosoever scored, especially Hafeez and Tamim. You need to improve your performance with the ball and our catching. We need to bowl well. With a lead close to 300, we could have put them under pressure but we couldn't. They saved the game in those two sessions with that brilliant partnership. They counter-attacked our bowlers. Riaz and Junaid bowled well with the second new ball."

Pakistan replied with a mammoth total. Hafeez was the star performer as he completed a superb double century. Asad Shafiq, Sarfraz Ahmed, Azhar Ali and Misbah-ul-Haq all compiled fifties. Taijul Islam was the chief wicket-taker for the home team and ended up with six wickets to his name. The second Test will be played in Mirpur. Hopefully, it will offer more help for the bowlers.

Both Tamim and Kayes showed twinkle-toed footwork to expertly tackle the spin trio of Zulfiqar Babar, Yasir Shah and Mohammad Hafeez. For the visitors, none of their bowlers were able to make an impact on a flat deck. Hafeez and Junaid Khan took a few wickets on Day 5, but by then, the match was meandering towards a draw. Earlier, Mominul Haque essayed a pugnacious knock as the hosts posted a score in excess of 300 in the first innings. Yasir and Wahab Riaz took three wickets apiece. However, Pakistan didn't help their cause by dropping a slew of catches.

Match summary: Tamim Iqbal composed the highest individual score by a Bangladeshi in Tests to help the hosts ground out a creditable draw. This was the first time they drew a Test match against Pakistan. It was high-octane stuff from Tamim as he smashed the opposition to shreds and scored a double ton. Tamim survived a couple of lbw shots, but other than that, he played with spirit and spunk. In fact, one has to remember that Imrul Kayes gave Tamim valuable support. They even strung together a monumental stand of 312. It turned out to be the first 300-run partnership for Bangladesh in the history of Test cricket.

The highlight of the day has to be Tamim getting to a double hundred and the minor altercation between Shakib and Riaz. Apart from that, it was a dull, drab and uninspiring day. 45 minutes were lost to rain but that was just a momentary break. Do stay tuned for the match summary and the post-match presentation...

Rahim comes out and shakes hands with his left-hand. Remember he has an injury to his right. Draw was the favourable result going into the final day and even though there were phases when things happened, it was never enough. Tamim made 200, Kayes 150 and Shakib helped himself to a fifty plus score. There was a triple hundred stand for the opening wicket in Tests for Bangladesh today as well. Pakistan tried whatever they could, engaged in a bit of verbal banter too but eventually the pitch won. So the final day's play petered out especially in the final hour when Misbah and his team were just going through the motions. Everyone wanted the game to get over so they could go off.

All eyes on Misbah and they are shaking hands. That's it. The game is off. Tamim was pointing at the batsmen to stay there but Shakib decided enough was enough. The umpires came together and shook hands. First ever draw for Bangladesh against Pakistan in Tests after 8 successive losses.

Just out of reach, the ball dribbles away and the batsmen think about a quick single. They go for it. Azhar Ali runs across and it looks like Soumya Sarkar seems to have obstructed him. Pakistan appeal but Llong cools them down and tells them to take it easy. They complete the single in the end. Definitely Soumya Sarkar didn't run in a straight line, he seemed to have changed direction

He just padded up to a ball that pitched middle and struck him in line with the stumps. Was it spinning down leg? Let's see once I get the Hawk-Eye in. Rahim lbw b Hafeez 0(5)

Length ball on off, Mahmudullah played around his pad and missed the flick. Struck in-line and would've gone onto hit off. Replays vindicate umpire Ranmore Martinesz's decision. Mahmudullah reviewed it but he was proved wrong. Mahmudullah lbw b Junaid Khan 40(71) [4s-2]

Junaid Khan to Mahmudullah, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

Mahmudullah has been given out lbw but he is reviewing it. He reckons he got bat on it. Is it hitting Mahmudullah outside off? From the replays it looks like no inside edge onto the pads. Need Hawk-Eye now. All Reds and Mahmudullah has to go. Once more umpire Ranmore Martinesz lifts his finger

Welcome back.. The players are walking out to the middle. Asad Shafiq will bowl first up. Shows that the Pakistanis have almost given up.

The captains from both sides can call off the game once the last hour of play starts. I'm sure Misbah is waiting to do that. Let's see if the post-tea session has any excitement in store. We will be back soon...

Mahmudullah and Shakib walk off. A good session for Bangladesh. Pakistan took two wickets but they needed more to infuse life into the game. Tamim became the second Bangladeshi to score a double ton in Tests while Kayes got 150. Tamim threw it away after his double hundred but Mahmudullah and Shakib have carried it on from there. The pitch is very flat and even the new ball hasn't helped the bowlers

Off goes the helmet and there is that beaming smile. The crowd at Khulna are up on their feet and applauding. Tamim soaks in all that. His team-mates are up too. Gets to his 200 with a six straight down the ground. Wasn't upset with himself for playing a poor shot off the previous ball, backs himself and blasts Junaid Khan over his head. Charged the bowler and lofted it beautifully. Clean connection and Tamim becomes the second Bangladeshi to make a double ton in Tests. He is in the middle of a purple patch with the bat

93.3 - Junaid Khan to Tamim, no run, unnecessary from Tamim. Rush of blood. He charges Junaid Khan and makes room to go over cover. It was full outside off and he swung and missed. Junaid Khan has a wry smile at the batsman. He knew it was a very poor shot

Pakistan were much better with the ball today and that pulled things back. Junaid started it off with three consecutive maidens and he set the tone. The openers were steady and got to their 150s. They also put on the first three hundred run stand for Bangladesh in Tests. Soon after Kayes holed out. The rain came down and the players have taken an early lunch. As I type this, the rain has gotten heavier. Looks a long delay on the cards. Patience folks!

11:48 Local Time, 05:48 GMT, 11:18 IST: Still raining. The wait goes on. Meanwhile the players have taken lunch. Sensible decision

11:26 Local Time, 05:26 GMT, 10:56 IST: Looking at the live visuals, the intensity of the rain has picked up. Not good news. Do stay tuned for all the latest from Khulna

Rain is falling at Khulna. The groundstaff are quick to bring in the covers. The players are walking off. The pitch is covered. There is a slight breeze which should help the rain to blow away. Dark and cloudy at the moment.

67.3 - Junaid Khan to Tamim, 1 run, first run off Junaid Khan today morning. Risky from Tamim as he planted his front foot across to a full delivery on middle, gets bat on the flick though and sends it to fine leg. If he had missed that, he would've been right in front

67.2 - Junaid Khan to Tamim, no run, presses right forward and blocks it to the left of the bowler

Tamim is back on his feet. Has a sip of water. Nods at Kayes and is ready to go again. Comically when Tamim was on the ground he was pointing the bat to the umpire. He reckons he got bat on that. No bat though. Tamim was just being smart there

Tamim has taken a blow and needs medical attention. The physio is out there. Slight delay

67.1 - Junaid Khan to Tamim, no run, Junaid Khan has Tamim on all fours. Superb reverse swinging yorker from Junaid Khan, hits Tamim on the boot and down goes the opener. Loud appeal for lbw but umpire Ranmore Martinesz doesn't give it out. Sliding down? Replays show that it was umpire's call - just clipping leg. Junaid Khan can't believe it.

Pitch report: The cracks have held up. It hasn't opened up and the pitch is still firm. 'Batsmen can still come out and get big runs' says Aamer Sohail.

Such was the openers' performance that the Bangladeshis as a team gave a guard of honor to the duo at the end of the day's play yesterday. This Test looks headed only one way - towards a draw - unless Pakistan conjure up something miraculous. Can they do so? No would be the answer if one goes by yesterday's proceedings. But then today is a totally new day and Pakistan have the second new ball coming up in 19 overs time. That is their only hope. As I type this, have to mention that is cloudy at the moment in Khulna. We will keep you posted with all the latest developments. Do stay tuned...

For three days and a bit Pakistan were dominant. And then on the fourth day it was the Tamim and Imrul show. Trailing by 296 going into the third innings, the openers staged a remarkable comeback putting on an unbeaten 273-run stand which has left Pakistan stunned. Pakistan rolled over the Bangladeshis in the first innings and would've been hoping to do the same in the second but they didn't imagine such a performance from the top two of the Bangladeshi batting line-up. Hello and a warm welcome to our coverage of the final day of the first Test.

Pakistan tried everything but nothing worked for them. Tamim survived a very close LBW shout but the bowlers could not dominate proceedings as the Bangladeshi batsmen never allowed them to settle. With a big first innings lead, Pakistan would have entertained thoughts of a win, but with this sort of a reply from Bangladesh, the match is most certainly heading towards a draw. That concludes proceedings. Join us back tomorrow for all the Day 5 action. Goodbye!

It was a day totally dominated by Bangladesh. First, they picked up five wickets to bowl out Pakistan - Taijul Islam finished with a 6-wicket haul - and then, despite trailing by 296 runs, openers Tamim Iqbal and Imrul Kayes batted brilliantly to stun the visitors. Tamim was very aggressive and he completed a hundred off 123 balls. Kayes took his time but he too upped the ante as the innings progressed and registered a hundred. Tamim crossed 8000 runs in international cricket, while Kayes recorded 1000 runs in Test cricket. The duo also registered Bangladesh's highest ever partnership for any wicket in Tests.

Stumps, Day 4: Misbah-ul-Haq and his team-mates shake hands with Tamim Iqbal and Imrul Kayes. The members of the Bangladeshi team form a guard of honour by standing on either side of the stairs leading up to the dressing room and applaud both Tamim and Kayes. That is a great gesture from the Bangladeshi team. They know that the duo have played some exceptional cricket.

Welcome back...

Tea, Day 4: A great session for Bangladesh as they scored 136 runs for the loss of no wickets. Tamim Iqbal batted aggressively and scored runs at will, while Imrul Kayes gave him good support. Pakistan came very close to removing Tamim but he managed to escape a very close LBW shout. Pakistan look a bit frustrated at the moment. They need to regroup and rethink their strategy. Take a short break and join us back for what promises to be an exciting final session.

28.5 - Yasir Shah to Kayes, FOUR, this is frustrating for Pakistan. The frustration is quite evident from the fielders. A streaky way to bring up your fifty, but Kayes will take it.

27.5 - Riaz to Tamim, no run, Tamim is very lucky that the on-field umpire gave it not-out initially, had the original decision been out, Tamim would have had to walk back even if he reviewed. Gee! Fullish and just taling back in, Tamim looks to defend, but the bat hits the flap of the front pad and gets stuck, the ball hits the pad before hitting the bat. It was a very good shout. Misbah and Riaz are not happy, but you can't blame the umpire as it was too close to call in real-time. Pakistan rightly decided to review but the technology suggested that the impact wasn't fully in line. Misbah almost threw the ball onto the ground in anger

Big shout for LBW, not given, Pakistan have reviewed. If it is pad first, Tamim could be in trouble. No issues with Riaz's footing. Oh this looks like pad first to me. Impact seems to be on the off stump, no issues with height as well. What do you say Hawk-Eye? Is the impact in line? Taking a long time. Oh no! That's cruel for Pakistan and Riaz. The impact is umpire's call and Tamim escapes. Pakistan have lost both their reviews

Welcome back for the second session. The players are out in the middle.

Lunch, Day 4: Tamim Iqbal escaped a close LBW shout first ball and Bangladesh have managed to survive this tricky little period before the break. Earlier, Taijul Islam bagged a 6-wicket haul before Pakistan were bowled out for 628. The visitors are going to attack Bangladesh with spin and with the pitch offering some assistance, the hosts need to bat well to save this game. Take a break and join us back for the post-lunch session.
