11:07 AM IST Earlier in this game, Pakistan batters played pretty well on the tough Dhaka pitch as four batters notched up their fifty. The rain played spoilsport for almost two whole days and that made Pakistan declare for 300. Then, it was time for Pakistan bowlers to unleash their full potential and they did that in style as they bundled out Bangladesh for 87 runs. Bangladesh followed on and lost four wickets quickly but there was some sensible batting after that but eventually, it is Pakistan who have clinched a very unlikely victory here.

11:09 AM IST For the most part of the session, Pakistan bowlers didn't look like they will get four wickets in this session. But just when all hopes were fading, Babar Azam brought himself on and broke the partnership by dismissing Mehidy Hasan. Sajid Khan took his 10-wicket haul in the next over and soon followed it up with the 11th wicket. The last wicket took some time after that but Sajid Khan again came to the party and trapped Taijul Islam in front to hand Pakistan crucial 12 WTC points from this Test.

11:41 AM IST The final session saw Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan batting sensibly but just when it looked like Bangladesh will salvage a draw here, Babar Azam displayed his magic and took the wicket of Mehidy Hasan. The well set Shakib Al Hasan also departed in the next over and in no time they were nine down with Khaled Ahmed perishing on duck. Taijul Islam and Ebadot Hossain played out some overs but Sajid struck again and ended with 12 wickets in this Test match, to hand Pakistan a very special win.

8:57 AM IST ...DAY 5, SESSION 3...

8:52 AM IST Pakistan bowlers found it difficult to get breakthroughs in this session as Bangladesh batters finally displayed some application out there in the middle. Sajid Khan eventually got the wicket of Liton Das and there was enough turn in the pitch to keep them interested. But some resilient batting by Bangladesh after that did not allow Pakistan to make further inroads. But just at the stroke of the Tea, the run-out of Rahim has brought them back into this game now. Can Pakistan take the remaining four wickets to clinch 12 WTC points from this Test match? All questions will be finally answered in the last session of this Test match coming our way. This is Test cricket at its best. Do join us for some intriguing action in the final session of this Test match at 3:00 pm Local time ( 9:00 am GMT).

8:55 AM IST The session started with Liton Das and Rahim building up a nice partnership much to the frustration of Pakistan bowlers. But just when things were getting calmer for Bangla Tigers, Liton Das perished at the score of 45 while trying to pull a half-tracker. The experienced duo of Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan then got together and stitched together a nice partnership as they combined caution with aggression beautifully. But just at the stroke of Tea, the brain-fade moment from two batters sent Rahim back to the pavilion as he was run-out. Bangladesh still trail by 66 runs. Will the run-out cost them this Test match? We shall find out.

8:42 AM IST OUT! RUN OUT! Oh, dear! Mushfiqur Rahim gets out just at the stroke of Tea and he would be absolutely gutted with himself! This is a huge moment in the context of this game and it is surely a body blow for Bangladesh. This was needless from Rahim and it could cost Bangladesh in the end. It was a flatter ball, on middle. Shakib Al Hasan tucks it to mid-wicket and goes for a run. Abdullah Shafique at mid-wicket collects the ball cleanly and throws it to the keeper Mohammad Rizwan who whips the bails off. Mushfiqur Rahim puts in a dive but his bat bounced off the ground and wasn't grounded before Rizwan took the bails off. The TV umpire has a good look at it and gives it out in the end. Mushfiqur Rahim walks back in anger and that will be Tea on Day 5.
