Shariful replaced by Taskin, Bangladesh bowling

Once again, Nazmul Hossain Shanto got luck on his side. Like the first test, the Bangladesh captain decided to field first. Pakistan captain Shan Masood said, if he won the toss, he would have taken the bowling first.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh has taken the lead in the series by winning the first Test. On the other hand, Pakistan will play the second Test of the series from behind. If this match is drawn, Bangladesh will win the series against Pakistan for the first time in red ball cricket. The hosts have no choice but to win to save the series.

It was raining in Rawalpindi since yesterday morning. The first day of Bangladesh's second Test series against Pakistan was abandoned due to continuous rain. Therefore, the remaining four-day games are scheduled to start 30 minutes earlier than the scheduled time. At least 98 overs will be played every day.

Today the second day's play will also start earlier than the scheduled time. The toss took place at 9:15 am local time. The game will start at 9:45 am local time (10:45 am Bangladesh time). Nazmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and decided to field first.

There is a change in Bangladesh XI. Shariful Islam is not fully fit to play the match. Right-handed pacer Taskin Ahmed has returned to the XI instead. Pakistan have made two changes to their playing XI. Abrar Ahmed and Mir Hamza have returned in place of Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah.
