[Sports] Bangladesh slides towards big test defeat against Pakistan

Younis Khan and Asad Shafiq killed the last embers of Bangladesh’s spirit with a 259-run stand, before Misbah-ul-Haq gave them temporary respite with a declaration. The relief proved to be a mirage, though, as Pakistan’s spinners skimmed through Bangladesh’s top order to leave them facing a heavy defeat with two days to play.

Younis finished with an unbeaten 200, and along with first-time centurion Shafiq, administered Bangladesh a lesson in crease-occupation. The hosts, however, did not seem to have taken away too many learnings; their batsmen betrayed poor skills and a lack of patience for the second time in three days. On a wearing wicket, Pakistan’s multi-dimensional spin attack made a breach apiece, while Aizaz Cheema also contributed to leave Bangladesh 134 for 4 at stumps.
