Pakistan started Day 4 in impressive fashion as Shan Masood and Saim Ayub smashed six boundaries in the first half-hour, despite their precarious overnight position of 9/2. However, the team soon fell apart, slipping from 47/2 to 81/6.
Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha then stabilized the innings with a solid partnership until Lunch. After the break, Hasan Mahmud quickly dismissed Rizwan with a catch behind the stumps and then took out Mohammad Ali for a golden duck, breaking the 55-run stand.
The sudden flurry of wickets left Abrar Ahmad startled, leading to a humorous moment during the tense match. Abrar, rushing to the crease, was seen jogging in with his helmet improperly secured, gloves still on, and bat tucked under his arm, trying to avoid being timed out.
His fumbling and dropping of gloves as he crossed the boundary cushions brought a light-hearted moment to the field. Shakib Al Hasan, who was ready to bowl, couldn’t help but grin and make an inaudible comment, while the Tigers’ reserve players on the bench laughed heartily.
