Taskin Ahmed to Fakhar Zaman
FOUR! Top shot! Pitched-up delivery on the stumps, Fakhar Zaman shows the full face of the bat and punches it on the up and the ball just races away between mid off and mid on for a boundary.

Mahedi Hasan to Fakhar Zaman
DROPPED! Taskin Ahmed never seemed to be under control there. Flatter one at the stumps, Fakhar Zaman goes for the hard sweep but gets a top edge that goes high and swirls around the short fine leg region. Taskin fumbles the catch and the batters take one run. How costly could that prove to be?

Mahedi Hasan to Fakhar Zaman
Mahedi fires the ball in towards the batter and Zaman gets cramped for room as he tries to open up the off side and has to block it off.

Mahedi Hasan to Fakhar Zaman
FOUR! Oh, aggression after just one ball! Tossed up at the stumps, Fakhar Zaman skips down the track and makes room, lofting it straight back over the bowler's head for a boundary.

Done and dusted with the pre-match formalities and it is now time to get the play underway. The umpires are out in the middle and so are the players of Bangladesh. It will be the duo of Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub to open the innings for Pakistan. Mahedi Hasan, the off-spinner to take the new ball. Let's play...
!
We are just a few minutes away from the start of the match, but first, the two sets of players and the mascots will lineup for the national anthems. It will be the national anthem of Pakistan followed by the national anthem of Bangladesh.
!
PITCH REPORT - Former Pakistani opener, Aamer Sohail, with the pitch report. He says that there has been rain around here in Dhaka, building up to the game. He mentions that the pitch sounds hard (as he knocks his hand on the wicket). He adds that there will be some moisture in the wicket and that will aid the spinners as well as pace off deliveries of pacers. He feels that the batters should look to get used to the pace of the wicket before playing their shots.
!
Pakistan (Playing XI) - Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub, Mohammad Haris (WK), Salman Agha (C), Hasan Nawaz, Mohammad Nawaz, Khushdil Shah, Faheem Ashraf, Abbas Afridi, Salman Mirza (On T20I debut), Abrar Ahmed.
!
Bangladesh (Playing XI) - Litton Das (C/WK), Tanzid Hasan, Parvez Hossain Emon, Tawhid Hridoy, Jaker Ali, Shamim Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Tanzim Hasan Sakib.
!
TOSS - Bangladesh have won the toss and they will BOWL first.
!
All eyes will be on how Bangladesh's newfound confidence, particularly their in-form batting unit and economical bowlers, stands up against a youthful yet determined Pakistani side aiming to continue their impressive head-to-head record. There's also a bit of rain around but let's hope that doesn't affect the contest much. Stay tuned for the toss and team news.
!
The pitch at the Shere Bangla National Stadium is typically on the slower side, offering assistance to spinners as the game progresses. While pacers might find some early seam movement, batters who settle in can play their strokes freely.
!
However, Pakistan will pose a formidable challenge despite some notable absentees. While key players like Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are missing, a young Pakistan side, led by Salman Agha, will be eager to assert their dominance. Historically, Pakistan holds a significant edge in T20I encounters, having won 19 out of 22 matches against Bangladesh, including a commanding 3-0 clean sweep in their most recent series a month ago in Lahore. The visitors will be looking to replicate that performance and maintain their winning rhythm away from home.

Joe Root climbs to second on all-time Test list as England dominate India
Joe Root climbed to second on the all-time list of Test run-scorers after hitting a sparkling 38th century on Friday as England hunted a series-clinching win against India. Ben Stokes' team, 2-1 up in the five-match series, were 544-7 at stumps on the third day of the fourth Test at Old Trafford, 186 runs ahead of the toiling tourists on first innings. Root made an imperious score of exactly 150, with only retired India great Sachin Tendulkar (15,921 Test runs) now having made more than the 34-year-old Englishman's tally of 13,409. Earlier, Ollie Pope (71) put on 144 for the third wicket with Root before he was dismissed by Washington Sundar, who also removed Harry Brook cheaply to give India renewed hope. But skipper Stokes, who ended the day 77 not out after briefly retiring hurt with cramp, ensured England regained the initiative. And it was Stokes who celebrated at the other end as Root, his predecessor as England captain, reached 13,379 runs with a single to move one ahead of Australian Ricky Ponting's figure. "Magnificent from Root, this is a great moment in history," former Australia captain Ponting said on Sky Sports as the Manchester crowd stood to applaud and chant the Yorkshireman's name."The way his career his gone, there is absolutely no reason why he will not go past Tendulkar."Root's 38th Test century also drew him level with Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara in fourth place on the list of most hundreds in a Test career."It has been a privilege to watch him knock off those milestones," former England skipper Michael Atherton said on Sky. "It has also been a privilege to see his career unfold."Root did not attend the post-play press conference as he was receiving treatment for England vice-captain Pope, asked what he admired most about his fellow top-order batsman, replied: "Just his hunger and his drive, you look at all the batters here and everyone's picked up something from Joe."The 27-year-old added: "His hunger for it is awesome. He's an annoyingly good bloke, the way he is with the fans and as a role model for the next generation is awesome. "There's a lot to learn from him."India's attack had few answers to Root's latest century, with bowling coach Morne Morkel -- the former South Africa quick -- saying: "There's not a lot of weaknesses in his game. That's why he's scored 13,000 plus runs."England earlier resumed on 225-2 following a blistering opening partnership of 166 in 32 overs between Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett on day two, with Pope 20 not out and Root on 21, the former England skipper walked a long away across his stumps only to miss an intended glance off Mohammed Siraj. India reviewed for lbw after Ahsan Raza ruled in Root's favour but replays upheld the Pakistani umpire's decision, indicating the ball would have missed leg stump. There was another scare when Root, on 22, was nearly run out but Ravindra Jadeja's shy at the stumps who started the day fifth in Test cricket's list of leading run-scorers, then leapfrogged India's Rahul Dravid and South Africa's Jacques Kallis into third place. Spin, however, eventually paid dividends for India where pace had failed, with both Jasprit Bumrah and Siraj appearing to tire in the absence of the injured Nitish Kumar had added just one run to his lunchtime score of 70 when, beaten by the drift from off-spinner Sundar, he edged a flicked front-foot drive to KL Rahul at were soon 349-4 when Brook, on three, was stumped off Sundar by Dhruv Jurel, deputising for injured India wicketkeeper Rishabh however, prevented further collapse with his first fifty of the series and the left-handed batsman was in fine touch until succumbing to cramp in his left reached his century in 178 balls with a glanced four off ineffective debutant paceman Anshul serenely continued to 150 before he was beaten by a turning delivery from left-arm spinner Jadeja that bounced steeply, with Jurel completing a sharp when Chris Woakes was bowled by a Siraj ball that kept low -- a worrying sign for India's batsmen -- England were still well-placed at was the cue for all-rounder Stokes, arguably England's best bowler this series, to resume his innings and he carried on from where he left off with a well-timed cover-drive off Bumrah.

Joe Root Surpasses Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis In Test Run-Scorers List, Trails Sachin Tendulkar By...
Joe Root climbed to third on the all-time list of Test run-scorers on Friday as England tightened their grip on the fourth match of the series against India. The home team, 2-1 up in the five-Test series, were 332-2 at lunch on the third day at Old Trafford, just 26 runs behind India's first-innings total of 358. Ollie Pope was 70 not out and Root unbeaten on 63. Root, appearing in his 157th Test, moved past India's Rahul Dravid and South Africa's Jacques Kallis on the all-time run-scorers list in the course of his innings. Only Australia's Ricky Ponting (13,378 runs) and India's Sachin Tendulkar (15,921) are now ahead of the 34-year-old Englishman and are both retired. England resumed on 225-2 following a blistering opening partnership of 166 in 32 overs between Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett on day two, with Pope 20 not out and Root on 11. India's pacemen had too often been wayward on Thursday and Jasprit Bumrah, the world's top-ranked Test bowler, saw his first ball Friday drift down the legside to be clipped away for four by Root in elegant fashion. Root then uppercut Mohammed Siraj over the slips for another boundary. On 21, the former England skipper walked a long away across his stumps only to miss an intended glance off Siraj. India reviewed for lbw after Ahsan Raza ruled in Root's favour but replays upheld the Pakistani umpire's decision, indicating the ball would have missed leg stump. There was another scare when Root, on 22, was nearly run out but Ravindra Jadeja's shy at the stump missed. Root then square-drove Bumrah for four in stylish fashion before a single off the paceman took him past Dravid and level with Kallis. An offside single off Siraj took him into sole possession of third place, with Root's achievement greeted by applause and familiar shouts of "Rooot" from the sun-drenched crowd in Manchester. Pope, who drove Siraj for a superb four between cover and mid-off, completed a 93-ball fifty before Root followed him to the landmark in 99 balls faced. India captain Shubman Gill brought on Jadeja and fellow spinner Washington Sundar in a bid to separate England's third-wicket duo but could not engineer a breakthrough.

WATCH: Amid India-PAK tensions after Operation Sindoor, star Pakistan cricketer rings the bell on Day 3 of Manchester Test
Pakistan cricketer Wasim Akram ringing the bell. (PIC - X) New Delhi: Team India is facing England in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Currently, the play on Day 3 of the fourth Test between India and England is underway at Old Trafford in Manchester. During the current match, a special moment took place as Pakistani cricket great Wasim Akram visited the stadium. He began the game by ringing the bell, a custom seen at many grounds in England. How did fans feel about Wasim Akram's presence? Wasim Akram's presence at an India match would not have been unusual a couple of months ago, but it is the first time that a Pakistan legend is turning up for an India game since Operation Sindoor. The two countries were in a state of increased tensions in May 2025, when they two neighboring countries were in a war-like situation. India cut off all diplomatic connections with Pakistan for the terror attack in Pahalgam. Where is the video? Pakistan and Lancashire legend @wasimakramlive rings the bell to get play underway on day three at EOT! 🐐🌹❤️#ENGvIND — Emirates Old Trafford (@EmiratesOT) July 25, 2025 What happened in the sports world after Operation Sindoor? Ever since the Operation Sindoor, the sports heroes have also refrained from meeting players of other countries and have instead been vocal about expressing solidarity towards their country, which also resulted in the cancellation of the recent Indo-Pak match at WCL 2025. Akram's appearance has therefore left the web buzzing. It is also not known if Akram attended the Stadium for the bell ceremony alone or if he will be commentating for Day 3 of the fourth Test as well. Why do star players ring a bell? It is a time-honoured tradition where a prominent personality rings a bell present in the ground, five minutes prior to the start of play, to alert the audience and players that the match is going to start in five minutes. Hence, the name derived from there and it is known as the Five-Minute Bell. Talking about the ongoing match, Farokh Engineer and Clive Lloyd rang the bell on Day 1, as Lancashire County also paid homage to the two legends by naming a stand after them.
