Pakistan Trails Bangladesh After Day 2 of Second Test

Why this matters: Pakistan needs to mount a significant comeback to level the series after losing the first Test. Bangladesh's strong performance puts them in a favorable position to win.

Pakistan resumed Day 2 at 21 without loss but quickly found themselves in trouble as Taskin Ahmed removed both openers, Abdullah Fazal (9) and Azan Awais (13). A partnership between Shan Masood and Babar Azam temporarily halted the slide, but Mehidy Hasan Miraz dismissed Masood for 21. Taijul Islam then took crucial wickets, further exposing Pakistan's lower order.

Babar Azam's innings of 68 provided some stability, but he eventually fell, leaving Pakistan struggling at 184/8. Hasan Ali briefly counterattacked with 18 runs before being dismissed. At the tea break, Pakistan was 206/8, still trailing by 72 runs.

Bangladesh will aim to bat aggressively in their second innings, looking to build a substantial lead and put pressure on Pakistan.

Taijul Islam and Mehidy Hasan Miraz led the bowling attack, while Litton Das scored a crucial century in the first innings.

Pakistan lost the first Test and is looking to level the series in the second Test.

With a solid lead and Pakistan's batting struggles, Bangladesh has a good opportunity to win the second Test.
