Live scorecard and ball-by-ball details

On another foggy morning in Mirpur, Pakistan took the lead before lunch but lost the key wickets of Younis Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq. Bangladesh's medium-pacers were unimpressive but the left-arm spin pair of Elias Sunny, who bowled through the session, and Shakib Al Hasan, who was the most consistent threat, made sure it wasn't an easy session for the batsmen.

Comfortably placed at 292 for 3 overnight, Pakistan were expected to be more adventurous on the fourth morning to set up a declaration, but the dismissal of Younis in the second over of the day led to a familiar cautious approach. Sunny struck in his first over, getting the ball to jump and turn, and Younis nicked it to the wicketkeeper as he looked to defend.

Neither Misbah nor Asad Shafiq are known for an aggressive brand of batting, and there was plenty of caution in their partnership early on. Only three runs were scored in the first seven overs of the day, before Misbah broke free with a couple of boundaries in a Nazmul Hossain over. Shafiq also got going with consecutive fours off Shahadat Hossain, but once Sunny and Shakib started to bowl in tandem, the run flow subsided again.

Misbah, to his credit, attempted to push the tempo with an array of sweeps - delicate paddles from outside off, reverse-sweeps and powerful conventional ones to try and throw the spinners' off their line and length. The partnership swelled past 50, before Shakib finally had reward for his tight bowling - Misbah falling to the sweep, top-edging to slip.

The Bangladesh fielding was again below par, with Robiul Islam shelling a simple chance at mid-on, and Mahmudullah dropping another at slip. Sunny kept pegging away though, slipping in the odd arm ball, while Shakib did the opposite, relying on the arm ball and getting the occasional one to spin sharply away.

Shafiq and Adnan Akmal were at the crease at lunch and, with several calls for bringing back Umar Akmal to give a dash of aggression to the middle order, it will be interesting to see the approach the usually staid Shafiq takes.
