Pakistan wicketkeeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan found himself amongst a huge on-field drama on day four of the second Bangladesh vs Pakistan test. The brawl happened during the 72nd over of the match when Mohammad Rizwan raised a question to Litton Das about the whereabouts of movements in the sightscreen. Immediately, Litton Das and Mohammad Rizwan got involved in a verbal argument, which the on-field umpires sorted out, starting the game shortly.
Other Bangladesh Players too came to mock Rizwan, which was caught on the stump mic. Najmul Shanto Hossain was heard saying that Rizwan has brought back his overacting as he completed 50 runs.
"For overacting, we'll cut 50 paise. We'll cut 50 paise, 50 paise. You don't belong in the team right now, everyone knows it," he said.
The whole scene with Litton Das started as follows:
Liton Das: “What are you doing?”
Rizwan: “Look, look, he’s standing there.”
Liton Das: “Why are you looking over there? Focus on your batting here.”
Rizwan: “Is that your job, mine, or the umpire’s?”
Liton Das: “You’ve scored 50, now the acting starts.”
After historic first test win, Bangladesh aim for another in Sylhet
Bangladesh made history when they won their first test match against Pakistan in Dhaka. Pakistan have visited Bangladesh four times in the past and has won all four Test series, including three white-washes. Bangladesh are three wickets away from a famous Test series win at home after spinner Taijul Islam took 4-113.
Pakistan was 361/7 at the end of day four with Mohammad Rizwan’s unbeaten 75 off 134 deliveries and Sajid Khan at 8*.
Bangladesh pace bowling coach Shaun Tait was confident about the fact that they would bowl them all out on day five and grab the series in their name. "I think we'll bowl them out. I hope. Our guys stayed in the fight, stayed in the contest. They got on top of us for a period of time, but to take those two wickets towards the end -- we went into the changing rooms fairly happy," he said.
Bangladesh had already won against Pakistan with a 104-run victory in the first Test in Dhaka, where Najmul Hossain Shanto was named Player of the Match for his twin batting heroics.
