Pakistan have been saved by the southpaw duo of Saud Shakeel and Saim Ayub. After being put in to bat first, the hosts lost three early wickets in the first hour and looked in dire straits. It was then Shakeel and Saim’s 98-run stand that saved them, as both went on to score match-saving fifties. Saim departed for 56, while Shakeel and Mohammed Rizwan are unbeaten at the end of the rain-hit Day 1 of the PAK vs BAN 1st Test.
