Day 1 lunch: Pakistan on top against Bangladesh
Pakistan bowlers on top as they reduced Bangladesh to 69-4 at lunch on day one of the Chattogram Test Friday.
After opting to bat, Bangladesh went off to a shaky start as Shaheen Shah Afridi removed opener Saif Hassan (14).
Bangladesh gave a first cap to Yasir Ali while Abdullah Shafique will make his debut for the visitors.
The Green Caps have the momentum on their back as they thrashed
the host in the three-match T20I series 3-0.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, have failed to find their form even after a dismal T20 World Cup campaign.
Despite an early morning earthquake in Chattogram, the Pakistan team look relaxed as they warm up ahead of the toss.#BanvPak #TestCricket @ChangeofPace414 @grassrootscric @faizanlakhani pic.twitter.com/FrTrZ26bg6
