On the second day of the second Test, Bangladesh dominated with a brilliant bowling display. However, half-centuries from Saim Ayub, Shan Masood, and Salman Agha helped stabilize Pakistan’s batting.
Despite their efforts, Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s five-wicket haul and Taskin Ahmed’s three wickets limited Pakistan to 274 runs. In response, Bangladesh’s openers had a shaky start when Saud Shakeel hilariously missed a catch from Shadman Islam.
Shan Masood handed the ball to Mir Hamza for the first over against Shadman. The left-arm quick delivered a good-length ball outside off-stump, prompting the southpaw to attempt a drive.
However, he edged the ball towards the gully, where Saud Shakeel was positioned. As soon as the red cherry touched his palm, Saud fumbled, and in his confusion, juggled the ball. It traveled to the third slip, then to the second slip, with all three fielders making a mess of it.

The entire Pakistan team was left stunned by the fielding mishap. Umpire Richard Kettleborough, who observed the chaos intently, appeared equally baffled by the incident. The blunder quickly became a hot topic on social media, with fans amused by Pakistan’s fielding error.
