00:00Hello and welcome once again to Pakistan vs Bangladesh Chess Series, the first chess here at Rawalpindi.
00:07Shahan, you've got that coin? Let's go.
00:09Heads is the call.
00:11Heads is the call.
00:13Bangladesh have won the toss. What are you going to do and why?
00:17Well, the news from the centre is that Bangladesh have won the toss and they will have a bowl.
00:22Pakistan with those four fast bowlers, Salman Ali Agha, the all-rounder, the off-spinner.
00:28The batting, Abdullah Shafiq and Saim Ayub.
00:31The openers, Babur Azam, all eyes on him.
00:33Shahan Masood, well, he needs some run as the captain to lead from the front.
00:38Bangladesh will have first use with the new ball.
00:40Shariful Islam will be the left-armer.
00:44Then we've got Hassan, but Naheed is the one to watch.
00:48Bangladesh team, lots to do for them and lots to do for these two openers.
00:53A new opening partnership.
00:55Here they come.
00:58Abdullah Shafiq, a very organised opener, very stylish opener.
01:02He's got a wonderful test record so far.
01:05Talent that has come through is Saim Ayub.
01:08All eyes on him.
01:10Shariful Islam, left-armer.
01:12He'll get the ball probably to nip back in.
01:17A bit of swing back in, slightly too full.
01:20Just clipped away leg side.
01:22But this is what Bangladesh will want.
01:25Swing up front.
01:28In the air, and what a catch that is!
01:31Bit of out-swing, but Zakir Hussain, he starts off this duel with a bang.
01:36What a catch.
01:39Straight into the game.
01:41And exactly what their captain will want.
01:43It was full, it had a bit of a swing.
01:45And yes, it's a shot that Abdullah Shafiq will not want to remember.
01:49But take your hats off.
01:52Zakir Hussain.
01:55So Abdullah Shafiq, he goes for two.
01:58Captain comes in, Shaan Masood.
02:00Pakistan losing their first wicket, just three on the board.
02:05That's a good shot.
02:07He's got a length that was useful to play that cut shot.
02:13A beautiful lay-raise, there at the inside edge.
02:16Huge appeal. Bangladesh convinced.
02:20Are they going upstairs?
02:23Shariful Islam is totally convinced.
02:28Okay, just take that back one frame, please.
02:32Okay, and rolling through.
02:37Bangladesh with their second wicket.
02:39Shaan Masood out for six.
02:41This is the player for Pakistan.
02:44Barbar Azam.
02:47A big appeal, there was a sound and the finger goes up as well.
02:52Bangladesh, well they can celebrate because they've picked up the really big wicket
02:56of Barbar Azam who walks back without scoring.
03:00It wasn't to be.
03:02But the batter prevailed.
03:05It was a brilliant take behind the stumps.
03:08It's a live fire, it's Barbar Azam, the prolific run getter.
03:18Oh, he was in control.
03:21That's a handsome stroke.
03:25He has started to feel confident.
03:27Saima Youb.
03:31Flicked off his legs.
03:34He'll have to run hard. Slightly soggy outfield still yet.
03:38Because of the rain we've had over the few days.
03:43Pitched up and given the treatment.
03:46This time it will roll into the fence.
03:48So Shaquille picks up a boundary to open his account.
03:52Nicely played.
03:54A lot of pace to work with once you pitch up.
03:58On the slowest surface it's easy for the batter just to get his bat through the line.
04:02Way to go about.
04:05Beautiful drive through the offside.
04:07Languid, fluid.
04:09There is protection though so just a couple of runs.
04:12Saima Youb taking a long night. He's on to 18.
04:17Short, wide and punished.
04:19Saima Youb was waiting for that exact delivery.
04:26Sao Shaquille very good against spin.
04:31Saima Youb, well he'll go on his very way.
04:33Very attacking.
04:35And they just sense it's an opportunity to score runs.
04:38The six over wide mid-off.
04:41Really launched into it.
04:44And he sails over for the maximum.
04:46And he sails over for the maximum.
04:48I just wonder whether...
04:54Swept away.
04:57Saima Youb is looking to get every opportunity that's available and turn them into score.
05:09Nice looking shot.
05:10Little bit of width on offer and he'll collect another boundary.
05:13Sao Shaquille so he's made a really promising start to this series so far.
05:17Efficient on the sweep.
05:19And he goes again.
05:20This time it's behind square.
05:21It's great placement.
05:22Excellent placement.
05:23The man was moved a little squarer.
05:26And he's threaded for four.
05:32They're making their way back in at a glorious shot.
05:34That has to be the shot of the day.
05:37Wonderful balance.
05:43Nicely played.
05:44He rode the bounce and able to just bisect the gap.
05:47Gets it down to third.
05:48And that'll be a boundary.
05:53Nicely played.
05:54Nicely timed.
05:55And that'll get him his first test match.
05:59Which is Saima Youb gets past that milestone.
06:04It is a huge moment in his career.
06:10Too short.
06:12Too short.
06:13Too wide.
06:14And by signal.
06:18Hassan Mahmood.
06:19To continue.
06:20Here's a dick.
06:21He's got another one.
06:24We talked about temperament.
06:26We talked about the young man getting to 50.
06:29And could he go on.
06:30How many times have you seen just after a break.
06:33A set batter falls.
06:35A set batter falls to a delivery who's chased slightly outside the off stump.
06:42He's thrown his bat at.
06:43And Mehdi Hassan Miraz.
06:45Behind the line with the keeper.
06:48Takes the catch.
06:49Hassan has another wicket.
06:51Saima Youb goes for a well made 56.
06:53Mahmood Rezaan averaging 40 as well.
06:56Plenty of international experience.
07:01What happened there?
07:03This just didn't get up at all.
07:05Pitch somewhere outside off.
07:07And just died on the batter.
07:08And the keeper had no chance whatsoever.
07:11To put even his leg into it.
07:15On the sweep.
07:17Aggressive intent from Rezaan.
07:19It's a nice shot.
07:20In front of square.
07:21Hits that hard.
07:23That's his strength.
07:28It's a cruel game.
07:29Isn't it?
07:30It is.
07:32Miran comes up for that last delivery.
07:34Just a little tempter.
07:35And Shaqib.
07:36He's bowled a nice tidy over there.
07:38It's 158 for four.
07:40The two umpires come together again.
07:47Yeah, I'd agree with that.
07:48His captain was out early.
07:50They were three wickets down.
07:52He went.
07:53He came and went.
07:55And the ball is in the back of the net.
07:58He went.
07:59He came and went.
08:00And Bangladesh, well, they've toiled hard.
08:02You can give them a lot of credit for what they've done.
08:06For me, there's been some good bits of bowling there.
08:09That is for sure.
08:10Running wasn't brilliant.
08:15But they do have a chance to go beyond 300 runs.
08:19Both these batters are looking good.
08:23Yeah, some good batting and some good partnerships there.
08:27The most notable, of course, Shaqil and Saim Ayub.
08:31He played a very handy part with the youngster.
08:34Got a 50 and got out shortly afterwards.
08:36It was disappointing for him, but 98.
08:39Yeah, to be able to excel as a bowler in these conditions
08:43and on a surface like this, you need to be patient.
08:48Rightly called by my fellow commentator Nikwamton Hassan.
08:52Mahmood was very patient.
08:54Bowled on those lagging lengths.
08:57And he was rewarded for his effort.
08:59Picked up two wickets.
09:01And he was ably supported by Shariful.
09:04And the support from the others didn't come for these two bowlers.
