After toiling hard, Bangladesh finally managed to break the mammoth stand between Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan in the ongoing first Test against Pakistan at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Experienced off-spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz emerged as his nemesis, as he dismissed him with a sharp turner. 

The incident occurred during the 95th over of Pakistan's innings when Shakeel and Rizwan had already formed a formidable stand for the fifth wicket. 

As Bangladesh desperately needed a breakthrough, skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto brought Mehidy into the attack. 

His move paid rich dividends, as the off-spinner got rid of Shakeel on the final delivery of his over. 

From around the wicket, Mehidy bowled a tossed-up delivery that turned sharply away from Shakeel. 

As the southpaw tried to play a drive, he was comprehensively beaten by Mehidy's guile. The ball was cleanly collected by Litton Das, who dislodged the bails in a flash to send him back to the hut. 

His lightning speed behind the stumps reminded fans of legendary Indian wicket-keeper MS Dhoni, who used to execute such kind of stumpings.

Riding on valiant centuries from Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan are in a commanding position in the Rawalpindi Test. As of writing, the hosts were 367 for five in 98 overs, with Rizwan and Agha Salman unbeaten in the middle.
