In the ongoing first Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh at the Rawalpindi Stadium, the hosts are in a comfortable position, as they have posted 350 runs on the board at a loss of just five wickets. 

Pakistan were 16/3 at one point, but a 200-runs plus partnership between Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel resurrected Pakistan's innings. 

Both Rizwan and Shakeel brought up their centuries. While Rizwan has been aggressive in his approach, Shakeel has played a more elegant brand of cricket.

Talking about Shakeel, he became the joint-fastest batter to score 1000 Test runs for Pakistan. Meanwhile, Shakeel brought up his 3rd Test hundred. 

A video has gone viral on the internet, where Shakeel played a beautiful cover drive that even left Rizwan impressed. The keeper-batter was seen laughing in awe at the shot and even gracefully hugged Saud.

Shakeel fell short of completing 150 runs as he got stumped out on 141 (261), which featured nine fours. Eventually, Mehidy Hasan Miraj got rid of Shakeel and broke the 240-runs stand. 

At the time of writing this article, Pakistan are 356/5 on the board, while Rizwan is eying his 150.
