Pakistan 201/5 in 53.3 Overs | BAN vs PAK, 2nd Test, Day 4 Live Score: Babar Azam falls for 47 as Pakistan stumble in massive 437-run chase – The Tech Word News

BAN vs PAK, 2nd Test, Day 4 Live Score: Pakistan will need something special to avoid losing the two-Test series after Bangladesh set them an imposing target of 437 runs in the second Test, fueled by a century from Mushfiqur Rahim.

Resuming the third day at 110 for 3 with the lead already established, Bangladesh extended their dominance through Mushfiqur and Litton Das. The pair added 123 runs for the fifth wicket with Litton making 69 before falling to Hasan Ali. Mushfiqur went on to make 137, reaching his 14th Test century and overtaking Mominul Haque as Bangladesh’s leading Test centurion.

The veteran also found useful support from Taijul Islam, who scored 22 in 77 runs for the eighth wicket. Bangladesh were eventually bowled out for 390 with Khurram Shahzad taking 4 for 86 and Sajid Khan taking 3 for 126.

Pakistan reached stumps 0 for 0 after two overs but history is against them. No Pakistani side has ever chased down more than 377 in Tests and the world record remains at 418. With Bangladesh having won the first Test, the visitors now need the highest chase in their history to level the series.

Despite the odds, Pakistan bowling coach Umar Gul remained upbeat and said the side would play for a win and not settle for a draw. However, Bangladesh spinner Taijul said the scoreboard pressure alone can affect Pakistan, adding that discipline will now be key with two days to go.
