Hasan Ali will start from the other end.

Najmul Hossain Shanto walks in at number 3.

Mominul Haque walks out to bat.

Review! Mominul Haque has taken a review after being adjudged LBW! It looks close. Is there any bat involved? Seems that the ball is very close to the bat and this is a tough one for the TV umpire. No bat involved says the third umpire and the Ball Tracker shows three reds.

Mushfiqur Rahim walks out to bat.

Liton Das is the new man in.

Nauman Ali is into the attack.

Drinks! What a phase of play for Pakistan! They have not only taken the remaining three wickets they needed in the first innings but have also picked up four more wickets in this second innings. Bangladesh batters have looked all at sea and were made to follow on this morning but have crumbled again now. With just six wickets needed for Pakistan to win this game, it looks a daunting task for Bangladesh to save this Test now. Faheem Ashraf is into the attack now.

There is a halt in the play! Mushfiqur Rahim is having some problem with sightscreen.

Sajid Khan is into the attack now.

Sajid Khan comes into the attck.

Another dominating performance by Pakistan bowlers. They came out in the morning with three more wickets needed to bundle out Bangladesh in the first innings and they did that pretty quickly as Sajid Khan finished with eight wickets under the belt and Shaheen Afridi took one wicket. They came back in the second innings as Bangladesh were made to follow-on and seamers got into the act immediately as they picked two wickets apiece to restrict Bangladesh to 25/4 in the ninth over. They have picked seven wickets in the first session and are just six wickets away from getting a famous win here.

The same story continued for Bangladesh as they were bundled out for just 87 in the first innings. The poor show continued when they were made to follow-on as the top order crumbled against the pace and swing of two Pakistan seamers. Since then, Rahim and Liton Das got together and have stitched together a decent partnership to take them to Lunch without further damage. They are still 141 runs behind and have to bat two sessions out from hereon to salvage a draw here. Do join us for the second session which will begin at 12.40 pm Local (6.40 am GMT).

...DAY 5, SESSION 2...

The second session is about to get underway! The players of Pakistan make their way out on the field and they are followed by Mushfiqur Rahim and Liton Das. Sajid Khan will start for Pakistan.

Who will start from the other end? Shaheen Afridi it is.

Hasan Ali is into the attack now.

Shakib Al Hasan walks in at number 7.

DRINKS! Bangladesh have managed to play out the first hour after Lunch by losing just one wicket but they still have a long way to go! They have their two most experienced batters at the crease and the hosts would hope that they do not lose anymore wickets going into the Tea interval. Pakistan, on the other hand, will look to break this partnership and run through Bangladesh's batting lineup.

Nauman Ali (7-1-22-0) comes back to bowl.

They have gone upstairs for a Run-Out appeal! Mushfiqur Rahim has dived at the batter's end and can that save him? No, he has been given out! Big blow for Bangladesh.

The session started with Liton Das and Rahim building up a nice partnership much to the frustration of Pakistan bowlers. But just when things were getting calmer for Bangla Tigers, Liton Das perished at the score of 45 while trying to pull a half-tracker. The experienced duo of Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan then got together and stitched together a nice partnership as they combined caution with aggression beautifully. But just at the stroke of Tea, the brain-fade moment from two batters sent Rahim back to the pavilion as he was run-out. Bangladesh still trail by 66 runs. Will the run-out cost them this Test match? We shall find out.

Pakistan bowlers found it difficult to get breakthroughs in this session as Bangladesh batters finally displayed some application out there in the middle. Sajid Khan eventually got the wicket of Liton Das and there was enough turn in the pitch to keep them interested. But some resilient batting by Bangladesh after that did not allow Pakistan to make further inroads. But just at the stroke of the Tea, the run-out of Rahim has brought them back into this game now. Can Pakistan take the remaining four wickets to clinch 12 WTC points from this Test match? All questions will be finally answered in the last session of this Test match coming our way. This is Test cricket at its best. Do join us for some intriguing action in the final session of this Test match at 3:00 pm Local time ( 9:00 am GMT). 

...DAY 5, SESSION 3...

We are back for the final session of this Test! The players of Pakistan walk out to the middle. They are followed by Mehidy Hasan and Shakib Al Hasan who walk out to bat. Nauman Ali to complete his over.

Shaheen Afridi (9-3-18-2) comes to bowl now.

Mehidy Hasan looks to be in some pain as he gets struck on his right shoulder! Out comes the physio with the magic spray. Hasan looks fine and we are good to go!

Hasan Ali is into the attack now.

Nauman Ali is into the attack.

Sajid Khan is into the attack now.

DRINKS! Bangladesh have done really well to not lose anymore wickets after Tea, thanks to some sensible batting from Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan. They will look to bat deeper into the Day and salvage a draw here. Pakistan will need to fight hard to pick four more wickets but a wicket here could just open the floodgates for them.

The umpires have signalled that it will be the last hour of the game. Also, Babar Azam comes to bowl.

Review! Pakistan opt for a review after Mehidy Hasan has been struck on his pad. Has Babar Azam picked up his first international wicket? This looks really close, no bat involved and the Ball Tracker shows three reds.

Taijul Islam walks out to bat now.

Khaled Ahmed is the new man in.

Ebadot Hossain is the last man in.

Second new ball has been taken!

Review! Taijul Islam has been given out here! He has taken a review against it. The Ball Tracker rolls in and it shows three reds. So Taijul Islam is out and Pakistan have won this Test match.

What a Test match this has been! When two days were almost completely washed off, very few believed that this Test will get a result. But Pakistan believed and played some quality cricket and in the end, with less than half an hour remaining in this Test match, they have clinched a victory here.

The final session saw Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan batting sensibly but just when it looked like Bangladesh will salvage a draw here, Babar Azam displayed his magic and took the wicket of Mehidy Hasan. The well set Shakib Al Hasan also departed in the next over and in no time they were nine down with Khaled Ahmed perishing on duck. Taijul Islam and Ebadot Hossain played out some overs but Sajid struck again and ended with 12 wickets in this Test match, to hand Pakistan a very special win.

For the most part of the session, Pakistan bowlers didn't look like they will get four wickets in this session. But just when all hopes were fading, Babar Azam brought himself on and broke the partnership by dismissing Mehidy Hasan. Sajid Khan took his 10-wicket haul in the next over and soon followed it up with the 11th wicket. The last wicket took some time after that but Sajid Khan again came to the party and trapped Taijul Islam in front to hand Pakistan crucial 12 WTC points from this Test. 

Earlier in this game, Pakistan batters played pretty well on the tough Dhaka pitch as four batters notched up their fifty. The rain played spoilsport for almost two whole days and that made Pakistan declare for 300. Then, it was time for Pakistan bowlers to unleash their full potential and they did that in style as they bundled out Bangladesh for 87 runs. Bangladesh followed on and lost four wickets quickly but there was some sensible batting after that but eventually, it is Pakistan who have clinched a very unlikely victory here.

Stay tuned for the Presentation!

Sajid Khan is the Player of the Match for his brilliant bowling performance. He says that his captain and team management backed him and he is very happy. Tells that it is a team effort and everyone has contributed equally for the win.

Abid Ali is the Player of the Series. He says that the pitch was not easy to bat and it was turning. He adds that they wanted to play with a positive approach and everyone backed each other. He mentions that his domestic form helped him to perform in this series.

The Bangladesh skipper, Mominul Haque, says that they had opportunity to get better in the second innings. He adds that middle order played well but they need to work on their top order. Tells that there were some positives for them and hopefully these players can continue their form in New Zealand.

Babar Azam, the skipper of Pakistan, says that he enjoyed his bowling and he is glad that he got his first international wicket. Adds that their openers gave them a good start and their bowlers did a terrific job. Says that even though they lost a couple of days due to rain, they wanted to dominate the game and he is very happy with the win. Credits all the groundsmen by saying that they did a good job of covering the whole ground at all times.

Right then, this brings us to the end of this fascinating Test series between Bangladesh and Pakistan. Both the Test matches were closely contested but in the end, we have to say that Pakistan was a better team. They have clinched the series 2-0 and have also bagged 24 WTC points on the way. We will be back with more such thrilling action and till then, goodbye and cheers!
