      <title>Mighty Mushfiqur’s 191 gives Bangladesh 117-run lead over Pakistan</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330376163/mighty-mushfiqurs-191-gives-bangladesh-117-run-lead-over-pakistan</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bangladesh were dismissed for 565 on Saturday after a brilliant knock of 191 by veteran batter Mushfiqur Rahim on the fourth day of the first Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mushfiqur’s marathon knock – lasting eight hours 42 minutes – ended when he edged pacer Mohammad Ali to wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan. He added a record 196 runs for the seventh wicket with Mehidy Hasan Miraz.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It gave Bangladesh a lead of 117 runs after Pakistan had made 448-6 in their first innings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was also Bangladesh’s highest total against Pakistan, beating the 555-6 they scored at Khulna in 2015.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The seventh-wicket stand with Mehidy bettered the previous record of 186 set by Warren Lees and Richard Hadlee for New Zealand in Karachi in 1976 – a record against Pakistan in all Test cricket.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mehidy was caught behind for 77 off Shaheen Shah Afridi, who finished with 2-88.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Naseem Shah was the best bowler with 3-93.&lt;/p&gt;
