Epic stuff Bangladesh! They really, really needed this considering the fact that their country is in a horrendous state currently. Rahim deserved a double century which is why I was sad to see him miss it by a few runs.
Pakistan keep suffering in the bowling department primarily thanks to poor quality spinners and it looks like this won't change anytime soon.

Bangladesh played very well and scored much better runs than Pakistan in the first innings. I didn't expect Bangladesh to play like this against Pakistan. Collecting 565 runs was really amazing for Bangladesh. Pakistan started their second innings and so far they have scored 23 runs while they have lost 1 wicket. So Bangladesh is expected to win this test match if they can play a bit better in the second innings as well. and hope they can sustain their performance in the second innings as well and win the match against Pakistan.
After a long time I have seen such excellent and responsible batting by Bangladesh team in Test format. Even against a big team like Pakistan I don't expect Bangladesh team to perform so well in Test format. My prediction was that Bangladesh team will lose all wickets within 300. But the Bangladesh team made a huge collection of 565. Mushfiq collected 191 runs. Also Sadman, Miraz, Liton and Muminul each batted well.
After batting so well in the first innings, I don't see any possibility of Bangladesh losing. But at the moment the match is more likely to be a draw. The pitch is batting friendly. But if the Bangladeshi bowlers can bowl well in the second innings then there is a possibility of Bangladesh winning.
Saim Ayub batted well in the first innings when the team needed it. But Ayub returned to the dressing room after collecting only 1 run in the second innings. If the Bangladeshi bowlers bowl well in the first innings of the next day, there is a possibility that Pakistan will lose wickets quickly. Pakistan team is still behind Bangladesh by 94 runs.
Not much support once again for bowlers on Rawalpindi pitch, it's known for it's road like structure where Batters are free to score runs and bowlers have to give runs. It's 4th day of the test and still first inning is in progress with Bangladesh just 28 runs away from Pakistan 448 runs of first innings. It's very likely that this match will end in a draw. PCB must do something Rawalpindi pitch, every time we have match here there is flood of runs.
As a Bangladeshi I am really amused to see such runs scored by Bangladeshi batsmen. Bangladesh proved that they can perform so well in Rawalpindi, but it was expected to see a big score on this pitch on the first day. However, Mushfiqur Rahim's innings of 191 runs was a matter of regret, Mushfiqur Rahim would have completed the quota of double century only by taking 9 runs. Mohammad Rizwan of Pakistan and Mushfiqur Rahim of Bangladesh both missed the double century.
Mushfiqur Rahim he tried his best and succeeded in today's match he scored the only century for the Bangladesh team. Moshfiqur Rahim and Mehdi Hasan Miraj have built a long-standing partnership, and if a few runs can be collected, this match will be tied today. 426 runs in exchange for six wickets in 129 overs, and if only 22 runs can be collected, the target of 448 runs given by the Pakistan team will be met. So far my long belief is that both Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehdi Hasan Miraj will get game time, as their partnership is very solidly formed. Shaheen Afridi is not bowling as per his performance, not picking up any wickets in this match. Pakistan's bowlers have very little skill due to which the Bangladesh team players have been able to survive for a long time in the face of this pressure.
Bangladeshi batsmen have performed well. So far Bangladesh have collected 511 runs for the loss of 6 wickets and lead by 63 runs. Mushfiqur Rahim has done a great performance which is commendable. Mushfiqur Rahim is close to a double century, he is unbeaten on 179 runs. Zakir Hasan and Shakib Al Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto did not perform well. Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto has not been able to perform well for a long time, he cannot perform well in any format of ODI, Test and T20. I do not expect such a bad performance from Nazmul Hossain Shanta as captain. Shakib Al Hasan, one of the best all-rounders in Bangladesh, is not performing well at present. The 4th day's play is nearing its end so the series is likely to be a draw.

The only problem I see with the Sri Lanka team is that they have only 4 wickets left. However Kamindu Mendis is playing at 56 and looking set and his partner Dinesh Chandimal is also settled down. If these two continue their innings, it would be nice for the team. Let’s see, I just hope this match will not go in tie and will end with a good result for the one team.
Sri Lankan lower order added a lot of runs in the first innings, so they are in decent shape at this point. Kamindu Mendis seems to be in good form, and in case the Lankans can extend their lead to around 150-160, then there will be a fighting chance to win this match. England bowling looked inconsistent. The main weak point was their spinner Shoaib Bashir. He failed to take wickets and was expensive as well. Perhaps they need to use Joe Root more often and keep pacers from the other end.
Bangladesh is very close to the runs scored by Pakistan batting in the first innings. If Bangladesh can score only 78 more runs then Bangladesh will have the same number of runs as Pakistan. Every player of Bangladesh scored more or less runs due to which the team score is at a good level now but two players of Pakistan have scored centuries and we have not seen any player till date like those two players who have sustained performances. As an opening batsman who came to bat for Bangladesh, he came very close to a century but missed the century by just 7 runs. Mushfiqur Rahim is still at the wicket and he is batting in a very fluent manner and his personal tally so far is 88 runs. At least we expect a century from Mushfiqur Rahim, hope Mushfiqur Rahim does that.
Once again today Naseem Shah started the day with the wicket on the last ball of the first over of today’s match. Naseem has too much swing in every single ball which is why whenever the batsmen play his ball then they have full fearful and as he started the day with the wicket then every batsmen from Bangladesh was just tipped on Naseem’s bowl.
Since every batsman was not looking to play aggressively against him then he decided to give the ball to the outside but on that he had a cover drive sometimes or sometimes those balls were also left by the batsmen as well. The batsmen do not want to play Naseem in swing balls.
Mushfiqur Rahim he tried his best and succeeded in today's match he scored the only century for the Bangladesh team.

ESPNMeanwhile, the strongest pairing formed between Mushfiqur Rahim and Liton Das has broken up. Bangladesh team is facing disaster again as now only Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehdi Hasan Miraj are at the crease. We saw that Mushfiqur Rahim and Liton Kumar Das got through the third day very comfortably but Liton Das was dismissed by Naseem Shah when they tried to play by sight early in the first session of the fourth day. At the end of the third day, Bangladesh's score was 316. Liton Das got out after adding only 16 runs to the scoreboard on the fourth day.
Mushfiqur Rahim has to bat with more responsibility and patience to get out of this situation, still Bangladesh is 111 runs behind Pakistan. If he can score a century for the team today then maybe his team can put up a respectable score.
Due to the breakdown of Liton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim, the number of runs of the Bangladesh team has decreased a lot. Although the duo of Mehdi Hasan Miraj and Mushfiqur Rahim are still trying to strengthen at the moment, if they can play well then they can reach the stage. As the two batsmen are in a slump right now, they will have to bat patiently and responsibly to get out. If the two batsmen can fulfill the target given by Pakistan, it will certainly bode well for the team. However, since Bangladesh still need to score 94 runs to reach the target and they still have four wickets in hand, they should bat responsibly.
Shakib Al Hasan, Nazmul Hasan Shanto and Zakir Hossain are the weak points in Bangladesh's batting line in this Test match with Pakistan team. The few wickets that have fallen so far, if all these wickets could have performed patiently with the batting performance, then surely they could have met the target of 448 runs given by the Pakistan team. But so far the Bangladesh team has collected 364 runs for 6 wickets in 112 overs, but if the current partnership of Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehdi Hasan Miraj can perform patiently then they can definitely give the lead to the Pakistan team.

The only problem I see with the Sri Lanka team is that they have only 4 wickets left. However Kamindu Mendis is playing at 56 and looking set and his partner Dinesh Chandimal is also settled down.

Sri Lanka though lost 6 wickets on the third day to build a lead of just 82 runs. If they build a lead of 150, there will be no chance of Sri Lanka winning against England, such a small score, England can easily fill it.
Today is the third day between Sri Lanka and England test match. So far, the Sri Lankan team is leading by the 82 runs. I think the Sri Lanka team have to make their huge and good lead. I think they have to play the full or at least more than half day of tomorrow to make very huge lead and then they have one full day to out all batsmen of the England team.

One thing I don't understand is that Pakistan had the potential to have a target of enough runs but why did they declare earlier?
If Pakistan could have batted a little more aggressively in the last session, then Mohammad Rizwan could have given a target of more than five hundred runs with a century, so Bangladesh would have been under some pressure.

Maybe they do not have the strength in the bowling or the selection of the bowlers in the team was not upto the mark. I am waiting to see Abrar Ahmed back in the team as in 2022, he owned to the England team by picking 7 or 8 back to back wickets.
I think if some of those wickets would not be picked by bowlers like Shaheen Shah Afridi and the others bowlers (who were playing that match.) Then he may could pick the all 10 wickets and after seeing his bowling, Ban Stokes was even shocked and Harry Brook too, the match that was played in 2022 at Multan Cricket Stadium. That was the first match of Pakistan against England in that series in which Abrar Ahmed created the history.
Sri Lanka in their second innings condition so far could have a lead of 150 runs at most which would not create any pressure for England. Moreover, if England can bowl Sri Lanka out before the first session of the fourth day's play, then England will be assured of victory by today itself.
Bangladesh is performing very well against Pakistan especially if they could not create much pressure in bowling but when it comes to batting everyone's contribution is commendable. In particular, Mushfiqur Rahim and Liton Das remain intact on the wicket, so if they can get through the two sessions of the fourth day, the run lead will be taken. However, if both teams are performing exceptionally well in this match, it will be decided by a draw.
Srilanka is leading with 82 runs at this time and today is the fourth day. Srilanka has lost 6 wickets and I think they will make a lead of 150 runs almost. And this will not be a good target. England will chase this target easily and can win match easily.Bangladesh is performing very well against Pakistan especially if they could not create much pressure in bowling but when it comes to batting everyone's contribution is commendable.

From Bangladesh. I really appreciate their performance. Like we can see Shadman Islam is playing well and current partnership of Litton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim is going well. They are playing really well and if they will continue to play today. And play the whole day so their is surety that this match will be drawn.
If Pakistan could have batted a little more aggressively in the last session, then Mohammad Rizwan could have given a target of more than five hundred runs with a century, so Bangladesh would have been under some pressure.
But at the moment Bangladesh is in a good position and most likely they are behind by 132 runs which will be able to collect the remaining runs if they can bat in the next sessions.
