Shadman shines through tough morning session to reach fifty

At Lunch in Bangladesh, the score is 134 for 2 with Shadman scoring 53* and Mominul scoring 45*. They are currently trailing Pakistan who declared their innings at 448 for 6, leading by 314 runs.

Shadman Islam batted through an extended three-hour first session on day three, weathering a testing early burst from the fast bowlers before bringing up his half-century on the stroke of lunch, as Bangladesh made a determined reply to Pakistan's first-innings total. Naseem Shah and Khurram Shahzad picked up a wicket each in the first hour-and-a-half, but batting grew steadily easier once the ball lost its shine, and Shadman grew in confidence as he and the fluent Mominul Haque went to lunch having put on an unbroken 81 for the third wicket.
