Pakistan in strong position

Pakistan reached 206-2 on the second day of the first Test in reply to Bangladesh's first innings total of 233 at Rawalpindi stadium on Saturday.

Left-handed opener Shan Masood scored 100 and with him Babar Azam  was  69 after Pakistan lost record-seeking Abid Ali for duck in the second over.

Pakistan need another 27 runs to overhaul Bangladesh's total and press home for victory.

When Pakistan started their innings in the morning all focus was on Abid who had scored two hundreds in his first two Tests against Sri Lanka in December last year.
