Pakistan resume batting after match delayed by fog



DHAKA: Pakistan resumed their first innings after fog delayed the start of play on the third day of the second and final Test between Bangladesh and Pakistan at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur on Monday.

Pakistan are 87-1 in their first innings in reply to Bangladesh's 338, with Taufeeq Umar unbeaten on 44 and Azhar Ali 26 not out.

Pakistan lost in-form Mohammad Hafeez before Umar and Azhar put on 64 runs for the unbroken second-wicket stand, with Umar hitting eight fours in his 79-ball knock so far.

Bangladesh paceman Nazmul Hossain, returning to the Test side after seven years, struck with his first delivery when he had Hafeez caught behind for only 14, a stark contrast to the opener’s 143 in the last Test.
