Saud Shakeel, Saim Ayub help Pakistan crawl back on Day 1 after Bangladesh bowlers ran riot early

Pakistan would be the happier side seeing the scoreboard as vice-captain Saud Shakeel and wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan walked off on stumps on the first day of the opening Test against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi on Wednesday, August 21. Shakeel put his guard down after his side was in a precarious position at 16/3, alongside young opener Saim Ayub to not only take his side to safer shores but from where they can now put pressure on Bangladesh. However, Bangladesh won’t be disheartened as well, as they were able to get Ayub’s wicket before the end of the day’s play.
