Quotes:

Our main target is to put in an improved batting performance. We are planning to bat session by session. Our batting should have been better in the first Test and I hope our batsmen would learn from the mistakes: Bangladesh skipper Mushfiqur Rahim

The confidence comes from performances. When you are performing as a team and performing well, the confidence keeps building. This is really helping us as a team: Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq

Team News: Mohammad Ashraful was dropped from the Bangladesh squad for the second Test while Shafiul Islam was named his replacement. With Rubel Hossain ruled out due to a shoulder injury, Shafiul should take his place in the 2nd Test. Top order batsman Naeem Islam was not part of the Bangladesh eleven in the first Test due to an illness. If he has recovered, he should take Ashraful's place for the final match of the series. Pakistan, on the other hand, are unlikely to change the winning combination.

Bad news, folks. The toss has been delayed and the main cover is in place.

Live visuals from the ground show that the fog is pretty thick. The umpires reckon that it is brightening up a touch. The outfield is a bit wet because of the misty conditions but the pitch is alright.

[Saifullah878]

The groundstaff are working hard to ensure that there is no moisture in the outfield. There is still no news about when play will start.
