Pakistan win by an innings and 44 runs

Bangladesh may have harboured hopes of making Pakistan bat again but the hosts picked up the remaining four Bangladesh wicket within the first session to win by an innings and 44 runs on day four. Pakistan's Naseem Shah's four-fer following his hat-trick yesterday propogated Pakistan's dominance in this Test match while Yasir Shah also bagged a four-fer after adding two more wickets this morning.
It's another chastening defeat for the Tigers away from home but their Test fortunues have been disastrous of late. This was Bangladesh's fifth innings defeat in last six Tests they played they will have their work cut out when they visit Pakistan again in April for the second Test.

60.4: Ban 165/9 - It's another leg-before and this time Liton Das is gone. Struck on the pads by a full delivery from Yasir Shah.

Liton Das is batting with tailender Abu Jayed Rahi as Pakistan close in on victory.
57.5: Ban 156/8 - Abbas sends Rubel packing. Ball pitches and cuts in to hit Rubel on the back foot. It looked plumb and is given. Bangladesh have lost their eight wicket. Rubel Hossain lbw b Mohammad Abbas 5 (26b 1x4 0x6) SR: 19.23
Bangladesh have lost their seventh wicket after captain Mominul Haque was leg-before to Shaheen Shah in the first over of the day. Pakistan are in complete control of the Test match.
45.6: Ban 130/7 - Mominul steps across the line of the delivery from Shaheen and looks to play it through the on side but misses. The ball rapped him on the pads and Pakistan appeal. The umpire raises the finger. There were a few sounds in the Ultra-edge which might have been the bat hitting the pads. Inconclusive and thus on-field decision stands. Mominul Haque lbw b Shaheen Shah Afridi 41 (93b 5x4 0x6) SR: 44.08
