Liton Das hit his maiden century as Bangladesh recovered from a shaky start to reach 253-4 against Pakistan on the opening day of the first Test on Friday.
He and Mushfiqur Rahim combined for an undefeated 204-run partnership after Bangladesh were reduced to 49-4 in the first session.
They kept the Pakistan bowlers at bay from the first half of the morning session through the entire second and third sessions. At stumps owing to bad light, Liton was on 113 and Mushfiqur on 82.
