Mushfiqur, Mehidy nullify Pak's pace as B'desh takes 94-run lead

Mushfiqur Rahim dug in to score a superb 191 and share a record stand with Mehidy Hasan Miraz as Bangladesh nullified Pakistan's pace attack in the first test on Saturday.

- 

Mushfiqur's 11th test hun3 dred, and first against Pakistan, came in more than 8-1/2 hours : and lifted Bangladesh to 565 all out on Day 4.

It was Bangladesh's third highest score away from home, as Pakistan's ploy to go with four fast bowlers failed to work on a greenish wicket that eased considerably for batting.

Pakistan, which made 448-6 declared in its first innings, lost opener Saim Ayub early in its second and was 23-1 at stumps, trailing by 94 runs. Abdullah Shafique was not out on 12 while captain Shan Masood was unbeaten on 9.
