Looks like that's all the cricket we will get today as the light continues to fade. Thank you for your comments and for sticking with us. For now, it's goodbye from me, Rvel Zahid, on behalf of Fidel Fernando and Ranjith P. A big thank you as well to Isam and Rashad, who have been sending us updates from the ground
5:30pm: Well, a big bummer; Pakistan players are left surprised. Shan Masood is having a chat with Richard Kettleborough and Kumar Dharmasena. They are very keen on continuing but it seems the light has deteriorated significantly and the light meter is out so the reading will be standard. All that tiring work from the ground staff finally brought live action back but it has lasted only a couple of overs. The discussion is still underway between Shan Masood and the umpires but the decision seems to be set in stone. Shan Masood thinks there is still adequate light as the sun peeks out from behind the grey clouds but the umpires are not convinced. The fans are left disappointed as well; they had hoped for more action on a Sunday afternoon. Bangladesh's openers would be happy they don't have to contend with testing spells in the tricky final hour, which is always a tough time to bat. They would rather come out afresh tomorrow morning and look for a strong start

Shaheen Shah Afridi to Mahmudul Hasan Joy, 4 leg byes, Errs down the leg side, shortish and slanted into middle and leg, clips it fine and it races away to the rope. Shaheen's lack of control could be frustrating for the captain

Shaheen Shah Afridi to Mahmudul Hasan Joy, no run, Over the wicket, shortish on an attacking off-stump line, powerfully punched through the line. Two slips and a gully waiting for an edge
The light roller has been out on the pitch and we are now ready for the third innings. Shaheen is ready with the new ball.
Well, Pakistan showed tremendous fight and nearly erased the deficit. Bangladesh will be pleased with how things have progressed after the rain break. Once Salman and Rizwan's partnership was broken, the floodgates opened and wickets continued to fall in clusters. Mehidy was brilliant with his subtle variations and Rana made an impact with his hostile, venomous pace; his raw speed proving particularly useful in removing the tail. The pitch has started to deteriorate so the likes of Noman Ali and Salman Agha will come into play while Mohammad Abbas will continue to exert pressure with his tight lines and lengths. Shaheen Afridi will look to make good use of the new ball. It's a pivotal passage of play coming up with Bangladesh aiming to lay a solid foundation and build towards a defendable target. We will be back soon. Play will continue till 6:15pm, light permitting

Taijul Islam to Hasan Ali, OUT, Gets lured by the flight and it slants in a touch, prances down the track in a bid to loft it down the ground for a six, he missed the line and ends up making big ugly mess of his stumps, beautifully and strategically bowled to the tail lenders, tested his patience by dangling the carrot and he took it
