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 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.

After beginning his career with two ducks against New Zealand in March, he stunned the cricket world by smashing the fastest T20I century by a Pakistani in just his third game. He followed that high with consistent scores against Bangladesh but endured another lean patch in the recent away series. Salman Mirza and Abbas Afridi have been dropped after the Bangladesh series, while Mohammad Nawaz and Hussain Talat retain their spots in both squads. Poll Do you think the PCB made the right decision by focusing on T20Is? Yes, it's strategic No, it harms ODI format This tour will mark Mike Hesson's first assignment in charge of Pakistan's ODI team. The PCB has been focusing heavily on T20I cricket in the lead-up to next year's T20 World Cup, having even scrapped the ODI leg of their home series against Bangladesh in May. Despite reports suggesting Pakistan preferred more T20Is over the ODIs against West Indies, the 50-over series remains intact. The team is scheduled to reach the USA on July 27, following the end of their series in Bangladesh.
