Bangladesh relies on a century from Litton Das to steady its innings on the opening day of the second Test against Pakistan. After Pakistan’s pace attack initially unsettles Bangladesh, Litton bats through the challenge and scores 126 runs off 159 balls, striking 16 fours and two sixes. His innings helps Bangladesh reach 278 all out in its first innings. Later in the day, Pakistan begins its response and finishes the session on 21 without loss. Pakistan’s total leaves it trailing Bangladesh by 257 runs at stumps. Both reports focus on Litton’s role in recovering Bangladesh’s momentum after the early burst from Pakistan’s fast bowlers, and on the state of the match as play ends for the day. The scoreline indicates Bangladesh holds a large first-innings advantage, while Pakistan has not yet lost a wicket in its chase as the Test continues into subsequent sessions.
