Bangladesh facing defeat against Pakistan

Bangladesh have been set an unlikely target of 550 to win the second Test match against Pakistan in Dhaka.

A 354-run margin separated the two teams at the end of the first innings, and Pakistan extended that further after a knock of 82 from Misbah-ul-Haq helped the tourists to 195-6.

The declaration left Bangladesh requiring 550 with six-and-a-half sessions still remaining, but Tamim Iqbal and Imrul Kayes looked to have given their team a positive start as they approached a fifty partnership.

However, shortly before the close of play, Yasir Shah dismissed Kayes for 16 as Bangladesh ended the third day on 63-1, still 487 runs adrift of their opponents.
