Taijul puts Bangladesh on brink of Test series win over Pakistan
- On Tuesday, left-arm spinner Taijul Islam claimed 4-113 at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, moving Bangladesh within three wickets of a series sweep against Pakistan. The tourists ended day four at 316-7, chasing an improbable 437 for victory.
- Bangladesh set the 437-run target after scoring 390 in their second innings, featuring a 137-run contribution from Mushfiqur Rahim. The target ranks among the rarest chases attempted in Test cricket.
- A 134-run sixth-wicket partnership between Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha frustrated the hosts before Taijul broke the stand, removing Agha and Hasan Ali. The resistance momentarily revived Pakistan's hopes.
- Pakistan batting coach Asad Shafiq said, "There is hope, of course," citing confidence in his batting unit. Bangladesh's Australian bowling coach Shaun Tait called Taijul's performance a "warrior effort."
- Heading into the fifth and final day in Sylhet, Pakistan requires 121 runs to win. A successful chase would surpass the Test record of 418, marking the highest successful run chase in cricket history.
