BAN vs PAK Cricket Scorecard, 1st Test at Dhaka, May 08 – 12, 2026

21.6 to Imam-ul-Haq, Celebrappeal from Miraz and finds the breakthrough! Floated a good length ball on middle-off, leans forward to defend off the front foot, plays a bit late inside the line of the ball and strikes the front pad. That looks plumb, and Imam sends it upstairs to have another look. No bat is involved, confirmed by the Ultra Edge. All three reds on the ball tracking and hitting the middle-leg stump. Pakistan lose their first wicket and the review too.. 106/1

59.6 to Saud Shakeel, misses a sweep, Bangladesh go up in appeal for lbw, and umpire Dharmasena raises the finger! This looked a strong shout, as it pitched on about off, bounced and straightened, as Shakeel failed to make contact with the big, flat sweep. Shakeel reviews the decision though. Perhaps he’s hoping the bounce will save him, because he seems to have been hit in line with the stumps. Ball tracker suggests it would have crashed into the top of middle and off. And that’s the third batter Pakistan have had to say goodbye to in the last 20 minutes. Bangladesh are making the big moves this session.. 227/4

63.4 to Abdullah Fazal, down the track but can’t clear mid on. Fazal goes too! What a horror morning this is turning into for Pakistan, who have now lost their fourth in close succession. Fazal had been batting so patiently, but runs at Miraz, who has fired this in flat. He had lofted him over his head a few overs ago, but Fazal gets too close to this one and can’t get under it. He forces a shot and it flies flat to mid on, who holds it safely at head height. A fine maiden innings from Fazal, but he goes just as Pakistan needed him to stay and return some steadiness to the innings.. 230/5

97.4 to Noman Ali, Drags it short and gets it to spin viciously across off, he got width and wanted to cut it behind square on off, Shanto takes a sharp catch at first slip. The plan works to perfection. 372/8

99.1 to Shaheen Shah Afridi, Gone! Collapsing like a house of cards! Drops it short and slants it in from outside off, he stretches forward and chips it straight to the man at short cover. It’s Mehidy’s 14th fifer in Test cricket, what a tremendous feat. He has been a model of consistency for Bangladesh, got great bounce and spin as well. Conditions have got better for spinners. 374/9
