Mushfiqur slams Hasan Ali for a boundary over the covers, giving a much-needed impetus to the Bangladeshi innings as we go to drinks. The batting pair are doing well to weather out the Pakistani bowling attack, with the lead standing at 196 runs.
Shanto has to go!! The batter swings and misses against a fullish delivery from Khurram, and gets trapped straight on the pads. Shanto opts for the review, hoping for an edge, but UltraEdge shows a flat line,, and ball tracking shows that it would have crashed on the leg stump. Litton Das comes on as the new batter.
After the first eight balls of the third day, Shanto and Mushfiqur remain solid at the crease for Bangladesh. Looks like we are in for a good spell of Test cricket in Sylhet, though the sky looks a tad bit overcast.
