Litton's Rearguard Ton Propels Bangladesh to 278 in Pakistan Test
Litton Das made 126 off 159 balls as Bangladesh recovered from 63-3, while Pakistan’s Khurram Shahzad took 4-81.
Wicketkeeper-Batter Litton Das scored 126 runs off 159 balls to lead Bangladesh to 278 all out in the first innings of the 2nd Test against Pakistan in Sylhet on Saturday.
Bangladesh recovered from early trouble after being reduced to 116-6, with Khurram Shahzad and Mohammad Abbas dominating the bowling attack during the first two sessions.
Litton Das raised his fifty off 93 balls before racing to his sixth Test century off 135 balls overall, striking 16 fours and two sixes.
Pakistan reached 21 without loss at stumps, trailing by 257 runs, as Khurram Shahzad acknowledged the team missed opportunities: "Unluckily, we missed a couple of reviews."
Trailing 1-0 in the two-match series after a 104-run defeat in Mirpur, Pakistan faces mounting pressure in the final Test to avoid the series loss.
