Rain halted Bangladesh’s bid for a clean sweep against Pakistan after young pace bowlers Hasan Mahmud and Nahid Rana rattled the hosts for 172 on Day Four in the second Test on Monday.
Bangladesh had scampered to 42-0 in seven overs before bad light, followed by rain, allowed only one over of play in the final session. The tourists will be needing another 143 runs for a rare test series win away from home.
