2nd Test: Bangladesh vs. Pakistan @Dhaka - Dec 17-21, 2011

[Saifullah878]

Pitch Report: There have been six results in the last seven Tests played at Mirpur. The wicket is hard and firm. There is a bit of grass on this wicket and there is a bit of moisture on this track. Mohammad Akram reckons that this pitch will assist the swing bowlers a lot and the captain winning the toss should bowl first.
There will be a total of 87 overs bowled today. However, that looks very difficult as the light fades very quickly towards the evening.
Teams:

[Saifullah878]

Rahim: We are also playing three seamers and we hoped to bowl first. We have not put up a good show against Pakistan and we want to do well. We have two changes. Rubel and Ashraful are not playing. Robiul and Nazmul are in the squad.
Misbah: The overcast conditions and the moisture will help our fast bowlers. We have to perform well in every game and this is an important game. We are playing the same team.

[Saifullah878]

Tamim Iqbal and Nazimuddin are at the crease. Tamim Iqbal is on strike. Umar Gul will open the attack
Right, we are all set to start. Three slips in place as Gul comes into bowl. Sid V here to take you through for the day
